Well, as many of you will recall I started asking some add questions about 2 months ago about various guitars...mostly interested in the amount of space behind the bridge!
After a lot of questions, a little looking and some playing of various guitars a decision was made...I was on the lookout for either a single cut Melody Maker or a PRS SE One.
As luck would have it forum bro Wattage was knee deep in single pickup guitars and looking to drop one of them so I recently took delivery of his 2008 Melody Maker which had already been modified a little with a set of Grovers, a Hot Rails pickup and a cool sticker.
Well, at this point it's far form done but I did get the big part on this weekend...
So here is my Melody Maker with a set of mid 70's Bigsby Palm Pedals!
Here are 2 shots of the Palm Pedals close up
And for those interested...the sticker!
The Palm Pedals are a string bending system that can be put on any of the 6 strings, in fact with additional levers you can have 6 (or even 7)! of them on one guitar to do various bends. I currently have this one set up in the typical G and B bender but the set up is still up in the air...
I've been working with standard tuning with a whole set on the G and B as well as open E with a full step on the B and a half step on the G and even open G with a full step on the G and a half step on the B.
The most typical set up is the open E but since I don't do too much in open E I'm keeping my options open until I find a set up that feels right to me.
Anyway, for those wondering what I was after a few months ago, now you know!
A HUGE thanks to Scott for giving up such a fine guitar!
Now, I'm off to bend some more strings!
