I have a TC Electronics Hall of Fame 2 pedal. When I use it with my One Spot power supply, there is a pronounced 120 Hz hum through the pedal, which is present whether or not anything is plugged into...
If it sounds as good as it looks, you have the guitar of a lifetime. Congratulations!
Yes. The electric signal of the nickel string over a magnetic pickup will be much louder than an 80/20 string; the wrappings of the latter are not magnetic. The wrapping of the nickel string are. ...
Gorgeous! Beautiful silky cross grain spruce top, a refreshing change from flame maple. (And the flame maple back is beautiful too!)
I keep access to all keys a priority. I love working with pieces when I'm practicing and I'll pick a key of the day to work with, so for instance, it was the key of Ab. I worked on I'll Remember You,...

Another vote for getting ahold of Masaki, especially if one is chasing the BK vibe. I've seen their 2-P90 ES-350 style guitars come up from time to time. Wonderful guitars, especially if you're...
Assuming the cores are the same, the nickel wound string (or nickel alloy such as Monel] is louder than an 80/20 (or PB) through a magnetic pickup (something I’ve tested) Yes it would be, but it...
Alright I’ll make a poll tonight … Bouncin w Bud Groovin High Flintstones Miss Ann an eclectic bunch. Let me know in the next couple hours if there are any others
I found a documentary on Amazon's Prime called "Wayne Shorter: Zero Gravity" Check it out. Doug
To get something a bit less bright but still responsive with a magnetic pickup you might try monel strings. I also find TI Swings to be less zingy than something like chromes.
