Damn, this is over my paygrade but I certainly support your ambition!  Hope this all works out for you.  I hit retirement and then panicked, especially lately with the current direction of the country so am still working but really wanted not to.  Social Security is not a given anymore and the stock market is wrecking havoc on my nest egg so I figure I'll do what I do best till I can't.

Paul, I'm really sorry to hear what you're going through.  I don't think words can say much other than know how much you're appreciated and I'm really hoping for a positive outcome through all of this.

Great post!!!

What a great looking build!!  I had this on my board for ages.

In theory 1/4w resistors should have less thermal noise but at the voltages we deal with I'd think only bats could tell the difference.

That's what she said.  I'll show myself out...

Ha!!!! I think not, but I need to go back over mine and make sure I pass the test.  I think I'm so blown out on girls in underwear and babble chronicles that contain little to no value that demos like this are mind bending in simplicity.

Two things that make for a great demo is being in tune and playing clear deliberate stuff.  Your playing is both and sounds great.

Very nice! Excellent demo as always.  I enjoy the fact the pedal speaks for itself, and tastey guitar work is a bonus.

Pine tends to disperse vibrations slightly (I think of it as being warm...in a good way) but nothing about your combo of parts that would suggest a dark sounding platform.  One interesting experiment if the steel saddles doesn't help is to capo the neck at the first or second fret and see if that makes a difference acoustically.  Not sure if you're using string trees or not so that span between the nut and tuners may be sapping a bit of brightness.

Damn fine looking guitar in the meantime!  That body is gorgeous.

I worked on 5 strats today.  Squire thru vintage and all sounded different, but all sounded not too far off how they sounded acoustically.

Pics please and what's the details?  Body wood, neck wood, string-thru vs top-load, neck joint, etc... can all play a factor.  What's sucking all the top end out of the guitar as a whole is what you're looking to find.

Interesting.  Till now I always thought Coloursound were always inductorless.  Now I know they did both.

What a great story and what an amazing looking guitar.  Enjoy that beast every day and Merry Christmas.

I read 1975 ES-355 and everything got kinda fuzzy.  Good score and good to see you posting!
