Great stuff. It certainly covers a lot of ground and looks fantastic. Nice playing btw. Yep I think that would do nicely.

Here's the demo video i just posted

Sounds great with drive, but I in fact like the cleans too and I'm a sucker for vintage(hot) singlecoils. More modern than a BG, but still quite tele-esque. These Piledrivers sound very nice and quite versatile.

yeah i love how powerful these Piledrivers can be while still being able to have that tele style tone in the right situation. i'll definitely be doing more playing with it in different situations to show off the versatility some more. i was originally a little worrisome about putting the piledrivers in this wood combo but its working much better than expected. i like it even better than when i had them in alder.

2 Piledrivers in series?!

to be fair, the neck is pretty low output. the tone in series is not overwhelming at all. its nice and fat.

I'm honestly not a fan of Teles but that one's a beauty. Best looking Tele I think I've ever seen.
