I'd be curious to hear the humbucker tapped just for kicks, mostly to see how it compares in the context of this guitar.. I really, really dig it though, everything about it. And you're right about the acoustics. Even compared to the old Obstructures, its like holy shit, grab a mic and you've got an acoustic guitar!

SUPApritty. I like the inside shot. Are the neck and body all one piece or is it welded?
I wonder how they account for the string tension affecting the neck and setup. The neck's not totally flat, is it?

Generally the necks carry a 0.004" relief and 12" radius.

I can tap the pickup on my V. The humbucker is really high output and maybe it would be more useful in something more PAF like that on my double neck but it just sounds like a weak tone...less output, kinda thin but not in a spanky/twangy single coil way. One of my issues with both of my EGC's is that they don't clean up nicely or even at all compared to my Bare Knuckle's when I back off the volume on a dirty Matamp. It's caused me to run my amp cleaner and to rely on pedals more for the bulk of my dirt rather than for just going over the top liked I used to use them.

TBH I've never dug the sound from taps, even on my SG. Output goes to hell and if you're expecting a single coil/P90 sound they just don't seem to get there.

Yeah the EGC pickup is super hot, but I'm getting used to it. When I roll off the volume it helps a decent amount.
And I feel you on coil splits. I generally haven't been a fan. I have a GFS humbucker that can split and it sounds horrible when split, and then I've tried splitting an alumitone and a Dimarzio rail. All of them just sounded a little weak.

The clip sounds great, glad the guitar is working for you.

Thanks again Dave!!

To be quite honest, although it's not the same thing, the Reverend bass contour knob does what many want a coil split or tap to do, but without all the annoyances that come along with it. I think it's a more effective way to clean up the sound, and it has a much greater range. I also like parallel switches, but that's definitely a more 'out there' tone. I have yet to hear a coil split or tapped sound that in any way is impressive. I don't know how many times I've heard demos of guitars where the guitarist switches to split sounds and everything goes to shit. Playing it in person is not so bad because the dynamics change, but recording it is horrible.

More review after recording with the EGC again last night- I've never had a guitar that I've been so easily able to pull a harmonic out of. Did a pluck harmonic on the 12 fret of the D string and just let it ring out for part of the riff I was recording, and each and every time it was effortless.

Sounds so good Skully, damn. Dirgebender sounds mean!

[skullservant]

Thanks man! Yeah I think the DirgeBender really shines with the EGC!

[goosekevin]

Dang, I should not have watched that, sounds so good dude!

[skullservant]

Thanks buddy!!
