Hufschmid 7 Custom

[hufschmid]

that´s weird that they look different in the pics then

probably the light though, you kinda need to see the reflection in the pickup to see the polishing rings.

edit: oooh, now i see! i haven´t really checked out the close-up pics of the 7/8 string pickups until now, and just remember the 6 string one i have

found a better pic

yeah, i see what i misread earlier

i misread it as ALL the pickups being shiny and stuff, and NONE of them being microblasted, but it was, of course, the opposite

 

[hufschmid]

6 strings

I even have an other design which I never use which has a bevel on the edges but its a bevel which cuts into the pickup, not a normal bevel... hard to explain.. like a feather thin binding route all around the pickup top if that makes sens?

Nice XXXXXXXXXXL sized T-Shirt!

Only the most metal of people can pull them off.

Notice also that it's a Lonestar Transcend shirt.

I DO say mahogany sounds warm, very warm and deep and sweet and bright. It first depends on thickness. Your guitars are pretty thin and that's why they sound so bright and focused and flat in some cases but still great for those aims. Make it 45mm or more and you'll get that fat warm deep sound. "Muddy" is about bad mahogany on not very good guitars.

I so agree with this opinion, mahogany have a warm sound for those who are involved in acoustic guitars. its not so much important for a solid body IMO... and blackdroid pickups have apparently CERAMIC magnets wich "help" a lot for the final brightness

^You still dont specify which mahogany specie your talking about...

Also Morten cleared it out on the previous page, so I will quote what he said....

the point here is that "mahogany" doesn´t mean anything. it´s like saying a guitar has a "maple top", without specyfing if it´s soft maple, rock maple, quilted maple, flamed maple, or spalted maple. "mahogany" is way too wide a term to mean anything when we´re talking about custom builds. in production guitars, "mahogany" usually fits the "warm/muddy" description, because they use those more common honduras/african breeds of mahogany.

Alex came to fetch the instrument today from Basel, we had a really great day today

So probably he will make a NGD with his impressions in a couple days

I was able to capture the crazy bees wings in the sun, check this out

Dude that guitar sounds and looks amazing! Also nice weedly weedlys there; you can shred it up

I see what you mean about gassing for your own guitar... I wouldn't want to get rid of that if I were you!

You sculpt God's instruments! These things are !
Holy, someday I hope to get one of these ordered... although I'm in Canada. One can wish.
Until then I'll sit in awe at the picture updates

Patrick, your a gifted craftsman
