Love the color. I want a Bourbon Burst one day.. Yours looks very close to that color. You have a great talent for this. Would love to have you build me one.

Would love to be able to do something like this.

Bucket list!

Ok. Really thrown together. I don't have an account of any kind so I just make some shorts. Just tossed the mic in front of the 12000 series Metro. Everything is dimed. The bridge is on full. The neck is between 3-4. Both tone controls on 10. You can tell I have never played a LP much before. Toggling back and forth between the PU's is pretty obvious on one.

Attenuator about 50%. PU's are not potted. 7K neck and 8K bridge. Blue Yeti mic into Audicity. No EQing.

Not much but just some quick noodles.

Sausages was the neck PU on 3. Jake and Jill I turned it up to 4. Very sensitive.

These Stewmacs are great PAF clones if you ask me. I may pot the bridge though.

Sounded great man, lots of lower mid girth

It reacts well with the amp. Obvious I havent played much this past summer. Gives an overall impression of what it sounds like though. Has a really great ring and sustain to it. Its very loud and clear sounding when not plugged in.

I may try some heavier high strings as well.

So, they are the Parsons street model? Did you get the A2 or A5?

Agreed, sounds very very good. So, when does production start?

vanhalen5150 · Post by **vanhalen5150** » Wed Oct 09, 2013 9:54 am

Yeah, Parsons. A5's. They will put in whatever you want.

If I really worked on the mic placement I could really make these sound better.
