NGD for me!!!!
« on: December 06, 2008, 09:58:17 PM »
Well I picked this up on thursday lunchtime after I part-exd my Steph Carpenter 7 String.



And with my Tremonti:



Its a 20th anniversary Custom 22 10 Top And its one of the most comfortable guitars I have ever played, It practically plays itself. Its always been on of my dream guitars and I still cant believe I now own one!

p.s sorry about the pics I havent had a chance to take some decent ones I'm too busy playing it!!

What do you guys think?

How does it compare to the Tremonti tone wise? Can you still Les-Paul-ish meaty tones with it? What's the overall character?

The tremonti  bridge pickup is tighter and more aggressive and quite a bit hotter were as the cu22 is warmer and meatier.

The neck pickups sound quite similar to my ears although i think the tremonti pickup is slightly more 'bell like'. although the cu22 makes me wish there was coil taps on the tremonti. 

Clean both pickups in the Cu22 sound awesome to my ears very warm and clear with plently of spank when split. all in all a very versatile guitar, Warm and Meaty without getting muddy.

Im not a fan of those 3 pickup custom 22's, Its purely a cosmetic thing tho I bet its still plays and sounds awesome!

I believe the Tremonti neck pickup IS the Custom 22 neck pickup (Dragon7???).

They are definitely not the same but are very similar for starters the tremonti has only 2 conductor wiring and is a little hotter (not much) than the Dragon 2 neck pickup, but i seem to recall reading somewhere that the dragon 2 design was used as the foundation for it.

The more I see PRS the more my tastes become saturated (in a bad way) so much that I'm starting to dislike them.
