NGD : 8 string baritone Telecaster

[wookie606]

Yeah, however if it has 4-wire pickups you could have a push/pull pot installed on the volume to split the pickups into single-coil. It is not the same as a true single-coil, however I like it on the guitars I have it on, and it might give you more options. Or you might find it unnecessary.



Cool! I thought an 8-string T-style would be pretty cool. Before this I did not know for sure any actually existed. Glad you love it!

-Cheers

I have only started using neck pickups... baby steps haha!

Gotta say, when I read "Telecaster" with "8 string baritone" I thought I was in for something horrid, but surprisingly, it looks pretty damn metal as ..... Goodness gracious, you've got a beautiful axe my friend.

Haha! Something I will figure out at a later date I guess...

Just thought I should I add my opinion now the honeymoon period is over with this beauty.

Neck

• The neck is super comfy, even with my baby like fingers, 28" scale is a breeze with this guitar
• The upper fret access is great, I don't tend to drift super high on the fretboard, but this guitar makes me want to
• The frets are all level and the ends are pretty good

Body

• The finish is stunning, darker than I expected but actually better than my idea IMO
• This body sits comfortable on my knee when sitting and is weighted surprisingly well with no neckdive

Sounds

• I am very happy with the BKP Aftermaths, they are very percussive and very clear.
• My only issue with this guitar is that the pickup switch is wired the wrong way (neck position selects bridge and so on). I will fix that myself when I can be bothered

All in all, I am extremely happy with this guitar. Looks, feels and sounds great.


P.S.

Made a crappy sound demo with this. Pretty much just the lower strings, will make something much higher quality when I have time
