Thanks a lot for the info!

 

[Yngvai X]

cool to see he's using a mahogany body and a compound radius fretboard.

 

[RobbM]

So is going to change his tone all together or what?

 

[Phanto]

yes... er.. fascinating ^^

 

[OfSinsAndShred]

His tone did sound a bit punchier to me on Gigantour, but that could be due to a lot of other factors.

 

[RobbM]

I always thought his tone was a little thin and dry for my tastes (might be the line6 though) hopefully this fattens and tightens it up a lot.

 

[Horus]

The paint job contributes to his tone?

 

[Anonymous]

Apparently.

 

[zakk_hate_me_666]

yeah, my crunch is dedicated to this paintjob i got... ROFL

 

[RobbM]

yeah, that makes no sence whatsoever....unless it was like an inch think...

 

[Jax]

Hard to tell without knowing what's in the paint, really. I'll try & remember to ask.

I think his previous guitar, the esp, is alder body with a maple fretboard is it not? If so, the alder is a more trebled tight sound in my experience, and I think maple on the freboard gives of a brighter tone than say rosewood which is a daker tone. The mahogony I know has smooth mids, and has a depth that alder doesn't have, so maybe that's why someone noticed that his Mahogony bodied guitar tone was "punchier". I love both types of wood, my usa jackson soloist is alder, and my usa bc rich asm-2 is mahogony, and they each serve a kool function, but both have ebony freboards my favorite. I'd love to try out a korina wood guitar tho, according to what I've heard korina's sound is a blend between alder and mahogony, I'm not sure tho, I'd need to get my hands on one to tell. \m/

BTW- Thx for the specs on MJR's guitar. \m/

The paint/finish of an electric guitar ABSOLUTELY effects its tone! Obviously not as much as other aspects of the guitar, but it relates to how a guitar body vibrates.

What does that mean?

I have a fever, and the only thing that can cure it is MORE COWBELL

 

[Yngvai X]

What does that mean?

It means the radius of the fretboard changes as you move up the neck:

FINGERBOARD RADIUS = Special -MJR
( curved 350R around nut to 400R at the end )
