REALITY of tone vs $

Give me your thoughts on them and describe the sound...I bought them spur of the moment off a forum friend at MLP.

The Silhouette is a maple neck bolt-on, alder body, flame maple cap, and in the center of the body, beneath the pickups, is a mahogany tone block. The guitar is inherently midrangy and bright with a soft low end. If you look at the pic, you'll see why the neck pup position is toned-challenged to produce some fat neck-tones:
IMG_3086.JPG The Wolfetones replaced the stock Dimarzio PAF style pups in the Silhouette. The Dimarzios are really nice pups, but too pristine for my tastes. The Wolfetone Dr Vintage is also a PAF style, and the Marshall Head is a PAF with an extra kick but the top end still remains sweet. I'm definitely hearing just enough added low end that made these Wolfetones a keeper.
 
THATS not true---- I wouldnt want to risk damaging...................THE TRIUMPH lol ;)

Cheers man --- post some of hem amp build pics your hoarding over yonder in the NORTH of Swampneckistan.
 
That Triumph is one nice bike. We contacted a shop in Tampa about an 1100 Virago (later model without the carb issues) to see if they had financing, etc. See what they say...
 
"hem amp" you mean you didn't mean Hemi under the hood amps? Back to the thread topic though. I had a First Act guitar that was made correctly and set up nicely. This might sound strange, but the pickups sounded so raw and horrible they sounded good. It had it's own vibe going on. I've also got this old cheap Royce tele that sounds great. It was a bargain basement guitar when it sold in like the 60's or something, but man, the pickups have tone and vibe galore. The guitar sounds great...
 
I remember the First Act---- that thing was SWEET ---- way better player than the name on that Gumby headstock!!!!!
 
Gumby - yep, that was the guitar. If a guitar is made correctly it's made correctly; know what I mean...
 
THAT is very accurate-----post some pics of the Tele copy and the Guayatone amp! That thing is rare funky kitschy vintage mega cool
 
I just caught the Carvin in Raiyn's post. I love a good Carvin guitar. My experience with Carvins have been they are made correctly and sound great. I'll see if I can get some pics up of Gui-zilla and Amp-zilla the 1960'ish hippy twins from Japan. I still have an old school phone with an SD card I have to load onto the computer, etc, so...
