Another device that you occasionally see in guitars is something called a varitone. It is a rotary switch that runs the signal across one of several selectable capacitors (one position usually lacks a capacitor, and is therefore a bypass). This drops out different frequencies to give you several interesting starting points for your sound. Usually people have a 5 or 6 position switch, for example in B.B. King's "Lucille"

yup bro pede din nmn lagyan..
some B.C. Rich guitars from the 80's have varitone..

thu yung semihollow ko nadisengaged.
i tried playing with my bro's varitone,with my playing style i don't really find it usefull.
pero i'm thinking of tht 1 position sa varitone which makes the guitar sound like an acoustic guitar.prng lng ha..or it's just my ear..hehe
i'm quite amazed..cguro yun lng yung ikakabit ko..
sa mg ngeexperiment ng diff tones,u may find it usefull.

Just in.

Coaxing fat tones out of a guitar has never been this easy, even at low volumes. Hehe.
I do plan on changing the bridge pickup soon.

By the way, does anyone here top-wrap their strings on their hollowbodies?

Holy shizzz! Ang ganda ng finish. Yum yum men!

lalambot yun strings so yun iba nagswitch from 10- 11s for a fuller sound. mababawasan din yun break angle sa saddles, less string breakage on that area and better transfer of energy to the body.

johnny_jackhammers · « **Reply #415 on:** February 10, 2011, 09:24:55 PM »

thanks Rmansh. what's an in expensive cleaner i can use for the surface of guitars along with the hardware?

Rmansh · « **Reply #416 on:** February 10, 2011, 09:52:15 PM »

^ i tried alice but it leaves a strange feel on the neck, went back to gibson polish , since they're readily available. also microfiber cloth. hardwares, a little metal polish pwede na.

try car wax for body and back of the neck, lemon oil on fret board and metal polish for hardware...been using it for years and no bad effects

gunlak · « **Reply #419 on:** February 11, 2011, 10:11:34 PM »

where can you get a well padded gigbag for a semi hollow/full hollow? the hardcase is as heavy as a damn coffin.

Butch Dormitorio makes those as well. Protection around the body is great. Just be extra careful around the headstock area...

@the_Nong, this is the PRS SE you passed on to micsis; now loaded with Seth Lovers and sounding warm and woody!
