Bare Knuckle Miracle Man/Irish Tour ... initial impressions

Re: Bare Knuckle Miracle Man/Irish Tour ... initial impressions

I might see if I can get the yellow tiger paint. I need a job in the summer or something.

You mean, like this?

That's my M1 Tiger ... That guitar has the best tiger striping, imo; the Jackson Bengal striping looks bootleg to me.

If you don't mind me asking, could you tell me how much the neck costed? I really like the J Frog design, though I'm guessing it will be too expensive for me. I'm probably going to use a Charvel Model neck on mine, but I don't know yet. (I'm also using a Kahler, so it's more of a Lynch-inspired guitar )

My neck is an exact replica of a J Frog, but made to my specifications. The headstock size, shape, and angle, as well as the neck profile and heel, are precisely the same as the J Frog. The only things I customized were the nut width, radius, fret size, and wood selection. It's also very very difficult to get a J Frog reverse headstock.

The neck was built by LAZ GAJIC, www.gajicguitars.com, in the UK. (Laz is Kammo1 on this forum) Due to the exchange rate, the neck did cost a handsome dollar. (250 GBP)

I'm too lazy to look it up. Do you know the resistance values of those 2 pickups?

2 things to keep in mind:
1st, Tim will wind any pup to any spec you want, so somone that has an Irish Tour, for example, might have wanted it wound hot, or with different wire, or with a different magnet ... the 'red book' pups, tho, are the ones that are tried and true. I had mine wound just as they are described on the site, however.
Miracle Man is approximately 17.5 DC
Irish Tour is approximately 7.6 DC

2nd, resistive values can be deceiving since different wire sizes/types can give you the same resistive value but different tones.

Also, did you happen to see that new Morley George Lynch 'Tripler' that allows you to switch between 3 amps, or combinations of them? Pretty cool looking switch box!

Yeah, that box looks hot. I already have a Radial Headbone, but will probably end up getting the Tripler, as well. I've been getting more and more into head switching instead of channel switching lately. And since I have a tech for my next gig (ie, Brow), I will have a helping hand!

Sounds good mate

Aslong as you have room in the car for me and Michelle, I'll be on hand to help you out in anyway I can. As far as gear is concerned anyway

Depending how I do at the Festival, you're more than welcome to employ me on a more permanant basis if you feel the need

T.O.: Glad you are digging the 'knucks. Can't wait for the clips.

Brow: Don't be fooled. He doesn't need the head switching, he just wants to see if he can get you to lug around as many amps as possible.
