GR-ST1 Video and Audio

[Swinging Beef]

Here is the audio and video results of my first build.
These sounds are, to my mind, the guitars best sounds.
This guitar is not ideal for balls to the wall metal.

Gotta be happy with that. Sounds great!

[dave.king1]

That does sound nice, any chance of some clean licks along the lines of Grady Martin's work with Marty Robbins.

The sad news for the bank account is that if this sound comes up the $$$ will go down

Excellent work Beef, lovely axe & demo

[Swinging Beef]

Thanks, guys. I'm really happy with it.

Grady Martin! Sheesh!
I'm a double bass player winging it on geetar.
Ill see what I can come up with.
:D

Keep your eyes peeled, but dont hold your breath.

sounds awesome Beef, love the strut sound and early Cult song She Sells Sanctuary.
I've forgotten are these stock pups or upgrades ? Bigsby is nice and smooth

[Swinging Beef]

Pick ups are stock.
The only not stock bits are the mahogany bridge support, the roller bridge, and the imperial machine head grips.
Please note the way the fligsby is strung, with the unwound strings under and the wound strings over the tenisoner.
The tone on the pick ups is not exactly what I was after, but it makes for some good tones, and I see no real reason to change them.

Other gear head Q&A.
1976 Vox AC50 head and cab
MXR Carbon Copy Delay
Mad Professor Red Rooster Treble Booster
TC Nova Chorus

Don't sweat on it, I suffer the same affliction and one of our guys wants to do El Paso and the Tele's & Strat don't quite get there ( The player doesn't get close :D )

Here are some clean licks.
So clean, I didn't even turn the amp on, or plug anything in. :)

Nice one SB, sounds great! Even sounds good unplugged :-)

[Brendan]

Sounds great SB! You happy with it?

[Swinging Beef]

Sure am!
Other than the fact I had no clue what I was doing with wiring, the whole process went completely to plan with the help of the PB video tutorials and a few suggestions off our forum members.

Neck feels great, no fret buzz, stays in tune, pickups are relatively versatile and have some good sounds, appearance turns heads.

Yep.. real happy.

[gavinturner]

Sounds great SB, and some awesome chops! A really awesome build. I gotta build me one of these very soon. Great job dude.

cheers,
Gav.
