AXE® Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 After 4 days of playing my first top wrapped guitar I have this to say about all the hoopla. 1) Sustain...Slight increase, although I don't make a habit of playing long notes. 2) Bendability<--cool new word feel free to use it) Maybe, I don't really feel any difference. 3) ABR-1... I'm thinking a must for all ABR-1 owners. I used a cheap assed set of GHS for the trial run just in case I thought the Idea blew chunks. Over all it seems to work out alright, nothing over the top <-- Pun) So have a great weekend, keep the weenie warm. with love... the original ****.

surfpup Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 To explore the top wrap hoopla for myself, I have had one LP strung through normally and one top wrapped for the last couple months. Can't say as I notice any difference at all. The top wrap looks kinda vintage cool though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeadCase Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Feels more slinky-bendy to me. I feel more than a slight difference. I like 'em over the top. I've been experimenting with different string gages and the top wrap. No final verdict, yet.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retrosurfer1959 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Im about 50-50 and honestly don't notice much difference either but so what looks cool sometimes the only guitar I really think feels different is the Voodoo but more likely it's the swamp ash body or the black magic pickups and how hot they sound.

saturn Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 I tried this for the first time more than a month ago and they're still on. I didn't notice much difference at first, but I think I kind of like it. I just hope I didn't scratch the gold plating off my tail piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
