    Gotta be happy with how this one turned out. Some quite useful sounds on this latest demo.

    Cheers, Waz

    They're only useful if you know what you are doing Waz!!
    But you are very right, I'm damn happy with how it has turned out!

    Thanks Stan!
    Considering the last time I plugged it in I had an issue with the volume pot cutting in and out, Mick just grabbed it and played the hell out of it(I only recorded this 3min bit) and never had an issue. He loved the rather loud humbucker PU sound, and suggested raising the other PU's to compensate for their lack of volume to help balance it out. He also suggested shaving a fraction off the nut to get the height right at the first fret. Playing open chords was pulling the D and G strings slightly sharp.
    One day I'll get around to that!

    Haha, yeah he was flipping them all over the place, just looking for different combos.
    Put it this way, he said to me personally it was a great sounding guitar. After I left could well be another story altogether!!!
