AlanH Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Congrats- v. nice but your pics are a bit out of focus. If possible I'd like to see some outdoor shots in overcast conditions to get a better look at that gain and brown finish. How does it play?

NoFrills Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 I see it had a pick guard on it. Looks WAY better without it. Seeing the electrics in yours I took a look at mine. Lol, mine look ancient compared to yours but then there is over a decades gap between mine and yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swleary Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Nice top on your studio. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac75 Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Nice guitar, is the sound brighter with the maple top? I have the same guitar, but is a mahogany top. Also, why did they stop giving cases with these? Mine is a 2006 and came with the hardshell case, but I hear they come with bags now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eracer_Team Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 why did they stop giving cases with these? Mine is a 2006 and came with the hardshell case, the all mahogany studios came with a hardshell but the maple top units came with a gig bag back in 2009 according to the MF web site.

Yaff Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Looks very nice. Made some changes to my old Gibson Studio (all mahogany), as I think the black speed dials and pickgard made the finish look mushy. Similar result to yours: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Moore Tribute Posted September 12, 2011 Author Share Posted September 12, 2011 Ok its back and all done I've also restrung it with my favoured D'addario Strings (Sorry another LONG day so this is a night shot again...) Testing the "Peter Green" mod it works perfectly and adds a nice extra level of control to the output. Oh The pickups where wound on the 30th June 2011 (2 weeks before the neck stamp date) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjmwrx Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Enjoy. I just bought one myself. I changed my pickgaurd to a 5 ply Gibson, and thought it looked much nicer. Matched the bell better. Nashville Plant, TN, USA June 1st, 2011 Production Number: 379 The Maple top is so much nicer than the mahogany top IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rogerb Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I am a fan of the satin/faded finish. The wood tends to resonate better when not bound by multi-layers of lacquer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Moore Tribute Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 I am a fan of the satin/faded finish. The wood tends to resonate better when not bound by multi-layers of lacquer. I have to agree, The "Peter Green" mod is also another reason I purchased a Worn as they seem to work better with the reverse polarity feedback for extra sustain. I may refinish it in a lighter wood finish someday but for now its just singing... Update heres (FINALLY) a day photograph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
