    Torrefeid wood, how to tell

    This is a Suhr with a roasted hog body - it doesn't look particularly darker than non-roasted mahogany to me :2c:

    Question about stability of flamed maple necks

    Flame figuring is caused by different densities of wood, but I think neck stability is more a function of quality of materials and ability of the maker. EBMM do pay attention and care to details IMHO, so you probably have nothing to worry about. :2c: Also, I have a flamed maple necked Thorn...

    Kiesel Multiscale Aries

    :agreed: For example - reversing the angle of the bridge pickup on a strat is a reasonably common thing - an attempt to get a more Hendrix like tone. It's not a huge difference, but it is noticeable IMHO.

    Kiesel Multiscale Aries

    Pick-off: Red Bear, Picksandstones, Wegen, Gravity etc

    I'm also quite picky, and am a big fan of RedBear's but have come to prefer Blue Chip (Flatpicks - BlueChip Picks), the feel and sound like RedBear to me, but are easily available. :2c:

    New Kauer Day

    Early last year Doug posted a thread about a prototype he built for NAMM. Between the combination of the nice offset singlecut shape, the fanned 2Tek, and Doug's reputation for building I placed an order. Sorry for the near potato quality pictures, I'll eventually take the time use...

    Vik Guitars Discussion

    Regarding the status of my guitar: I haven't heard a peep from Vik in about 9 or 10 months and am still waiting. Were rapidly coming up on the second anniversary of me sending him full payment. Hopefully the piezo issue is fixed soon.
