Onslow
I got my first guitar at 17. Finally took pro lessons at 24 while completing applied science degree. Now working toward Jazz studies/performance degree. I don't gig much except for school functions or I sit in when I can.
Video games when I'm not playing guitar or at work, and looking for that second date. Other free time is spent wishing I had the music degree instead of doubting myself and taking the safe road.

- Seth Lover Neck, covered, unpotted-- subtle highs, spongey but focused bass, warm when rolling tone down. Woody and dry tone. Emphasis on mids can make it raw sounding and honk. Good for smokey Blues & Jazz, and raunchy Classic Rock.
'59 Neck, covered, potted-- Bell-like, with a noticeable lack of mid range. Wind chimes with slight cream. Has a thunderous bass. Can get a little too piercing in my opinion. Good for "big" Blues, bright Jazz, and Classic to Modern Rock.
Alnico II Pro Neck, covered, potted-- Soft highs, big but chewy bass, throaty yet full middle. I roll the tone almost all the way off on my amp but leave the A2P almost all the way open and it sounds incredible to me. I tend to like only a hint of highs. My Epi is pretty bright though. Good for a thick, highly musical, smooth, tenor sax-like "vocal" tone and the best Seymour pup for traditional jazz guitar tone in my opinion.
