Tim the Sadler burst was what first got me interested in Shamray, I talked to Wolf McCloud about it and his comment was that is was the best LP he ever played, after a year what is your oppinion of it now? Pat |

I think after a year the only thing I would change would be to "lighten up" the neck pickup a bit, it's a bit deep for my taste, but it's made me reconsider how I'd always used the neck position so that's good. I had .013's put on & the sound just floors me - very expressive instrument, capable of real range, with a lot of bite when called for. I couldn't be happier with it. It's funny, most people think that because it's not Gibson and not American or Japanese that the top must be fake - not the case, obviously. As an interesting comparison, I have a premium Tokai Love Rock from the '80's (DiMarzio PAF's and flame maple top) which I had set up identically, and it can't compete with the Shamray, not on workmanship, stability or sound quality - it's like apples and oranges. Haven't played anything like a R8 or R9 Gibson to compare it to, that would be interesting as well. | |

actually, we would normally use the (more-vintage-looking) "amber" hats on a guitar like this, but if you want the slightly lighter color 'gold' hats, we will use those instead... | |

Hey Michael the amber would be great, I was asking mainly because the work order said, speed or hat for knobs and I wanted to be sure they were hat, thanks Pat |
