Been playing the new Novaks in the Stang. What a world of difference. Had to use Strat covers but it works.

'dat bassman

curious why you have to run strat covers instead of robroe's, i would think they would just fit right over them.

The guitar came with a Hotrail and lil 59 so I had no covers. No one had Mustang ones so I had to improvise. I'll eventually switch them out but for now want to enjoy the new Novaks.

Btw the Duncans are for sale... :D

Today, Hofner Verythin through a Fredric Klon, Belcat Tremolo, Mooer Ana Echo & the trusty Akai Headrush into Le Champ. Has made for a fun morning.

Swapped a few things around, playing the rocket tone again, trying to find uses for a strat middle pickup (this is my only "strat" guitar)

Although later today it will be this again, gf's car is in the shop which means I have to give her a ride to the farm so she can visit her horse...

Well, I imagine he frolics in the hay with his GF all day then plays on his tasteful gear in the evening...

I almost dont want the truth.

Obviously this looks like the greatest guitar in history, but how does this pickup combination actually sound?

Great, though the pickups aren't exactly balanced, the neck is a bit louder. That said, still sounds great, I'm building another guitar with the same combo.

And I'm guessing from the pole pieces that's a hot/overwound Tele pup?

The hottest I could get from gfs, strangely the set squire used on the tele with that combo balanced well. Were I to do it again, I would talk to someone like novak and get a balanced set. Still, minor complaint, it's still an awesome combo
