Thanks for the link to the Mormoths site. I find it interesting that when asking "which neck is right for you?" they seem to say "bigger hands, fatter neck" but that's not
always true. I've got stubby fingers, but find that the neck on the Baja is much more comfortable than the skinny C that I have (on all my guitars). It pulls my thumb back in behind the guitar. But the advice to base it on your friends' guitars is good advice, IMO. A great site to have a look at, ta!
The guitar I bought had a sticker on it which said the body is ash (although the website says it should be alder) so I guess that's a good thing.
My wife, lovely thing she is, picked me up a cheap delay pedal from the supermarket! (I don't know if they do that in the US, but over here that's plain
odd!) So the next step is to figure out how to turn the knobs to get that 100ms single echo slapback delay for country twangin. The knobs don't have names and so far it's sounding like an experimental Pink Floyd album.
I'm still toying with the sounds this thing can get. I'd like to be able to get some of the tones from the movie "Crossroads" like "Feelin Bad Blues" by Ry Cooder. That "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" sound. Any suggestions? What about for Rolling Stones' songs? What do you use the neck pickup for?
