I think that actually sounds attractive to the average person's ear. Maybe to somebody with perfect pich it would drive them nuts but your average person likes things detuned and imperfect without even realizing it.

I think that's exactly the appeal of a 12-string. It's that chorus effect. It's also the same appeal with large groups of string instruments. They are all ever so slighlty out of tune with each other and you get a huge, rich sound.

I wish GFS could get mint pickup covers so their aged plastics aren't always mismatched and weird lookin. It's white with cream pickups/knobs or all mint, mint with cream is ker-azy.

AWESOME

think jazzmaster pickups would work for this?
well, how much of a job would it be to get them in, because if i get one i'll try to make a proper jazzmaster, minus rhythm circuit, out of it.

I think I read somewhere that GFS was also doing Jazzmaster replacement pickups. Not that it's sorely needed in the marketplace because you can find cheap AVRI Jazzmaster pickups on eBay all the time.

in the HC thread they mentioned that gfs may try their own JM style pickups later.

I just talked to my dad about it and I'm pretty sure the surf green one is going to by my christmas present.

They do Casino copies? Are they good?

Who cares? They come in SURF GREEN!

fix'd

I think they have a solid center block like a 335 rather than a 330/casino, still tempting though. I wish they didn't look so big on me.

I played some hollowbodies in a guitar centre somewhere and i loved the casino. Was so nice feeling compared to the others, and being fully hollow sounded nice enough unplugged.

If I could pick up one of the GFS ones for 200 and it was reasonably similar I'd be doing that for sure.

some dude got his. here's pics of it on his website.

I'd totally get a Warmoth baritone neck and boogie to the groove with that thing.

The audio clips sound quite nice. The P90 one sounds like a JM, but not quite. Very good cleans, though.

Really like the bridge of the telemaster, but I'm unimpressed with the neck. Want something a bit more biting and trebley up there. Maybe something with a more vintage sound.

but neck pickups aren't biting and trebly. that's what the bridge pickup is for.

I mean I want it more biting than it is. IT sounded kinda muddy to me. Once I throw heavy amounts of E.C. Thunder gain onto it, I'm almost sure it'll just sound like mush. I need a neck that'll shine through the noise. Something like the S.D. Jazz on the neck of my M-80. It's real lush and dark but it still maintains presence over the distortion. notes and chords are totally distinguishable.
