Motherofpearl Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Well guys here she is. Completely satisfied now even with a couple cosmetic issues. The sound that I hated was the strings once I changed them it opened right up no more rubber bands. This will be my gigging guitar and sounds great through a PA. Still trying to figure out the equalizer. Ill update with more pics later. Some of you are probably thinking I should have sent it back but where this will be my player the bit of rash on the back I can live with especially since the cost of shipping it back and the wait for what could be the same is too much. Either way it's a great 45. Jamie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j45nick Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Relieved it seems to be working out after all. If the rash doesn't go through the finish, some very careful buffing may remove most or all of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motherofpearl Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 Yes nick the strings were completely dead once I changed those the guitar changed. They don't go through the finish at all. It's not real bad. It's like someone never took there jacket off in the music room kind of thing buffer would work I'd say. Got a gig tonight for my Christmas party this one will be coming with me. Appreaciate all your guys input but I may have jumped the gun in a panic on this one.

duluthdan Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 "Still trying to figure out the equalizer. " What equalizer? Try either completely flat (high, mid and low all set at zero) or all set at 5 - in the middle. The amulet should send a very clean signal of your true guitar to a PA - I was surprised when I first did this with my JB and that stereo Trance - it was hard to wrap my brain around the "less is more" concept.

Motherofpearl Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 Ill try that. I thought it was an equalizer I don't know much about electronics haha. I know when I turn it up its more tinny sounding?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duluthdan Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 You are speaking of the Tone control wheel. Can't help you there, I've got the one with just the volume knob. Its turned up to 11. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onewilyfool Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 There are a couple of good points about Pamela......I just can't put my finger on them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merseybeat1963 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 John Greven the Gruhn repair/luthier guy says..(aprox) The telling of how good a guitar is,is how it sounds with old strings. Most guitars sound pretty good with new strings. Now that you have your favorite strings...play that thing..and in a week re evaluate...if you have time 2 weeks. Guitar looks nice. Does this model have a Vintage bracing patern? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veggieryan Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 can you shoot some photos with a mirror or with an iphone pointed inside the guitar so we can see the pickups and any preamp that is mounted in there? very curious of the footprint...
