I have Faith again.

I think a USPS Priority box is only $8.  Of course, shipping over the boarder or pond would cost a bit more.

But I'd like to have one to experiment with.  

Since I just bought a mini milling machine, and know I'm probably going to spend an equal amount on accessories in the near future, it's hard to justify spending any money on guitars or guitar projects.  Maybe just this one thing!!!!  I can get it from Stew Mac for $150 with FREE shipping!!!

Start a thread anyway.  Should be interesting.

TonyKgull,
 
 Yes my Fender Stratocaster, has a Humbucker at the bridge, single coil at the neck and single coil in the middle, don't use the Humbucker very much.
 From experience i found the Epiphone Les Paul, far to heavy and the two Humbucker pickups were not for me.

Derick, correct me if I'm wrong here, but isn't your new Faith guitar an all mahogany guitar?

Mahogany is not known for producing overtones; it's a very dry, woodsy sounding wood.  That's why people (like me!)  usually pick an all hog guitar.  Hog guitars are great for many things because of its dry tone, especially if one is picky when adding effects.  The other thing hog is known for is providing a very balanced tone, another reason why people pick mahogany.  Balanced, dry, non-complex tone is the strength of mahogany.

The wood that's most known for actually producing overtones is rosewood.  Rosewood not only gives you deeper lows and crisper highs, but provides added complexity to the tones you actually hear from the guitar, those are the overtones. 

All hog guitars also take much longer for everything to happen, whether that's the initial opening up, or "breaking in" and the long-term opening up or ageing.  Mahogany is one of the heaviest, densest and hardest woods to make a guitar top out of.

So, just giving you a heads up here, mahogany guitars require a lot of patience if you're actually waiting for it to sound different or whatever due to ageing.  All mahogany guitars are one of the few wood combos that you really need to be happy with the way it sounds off the shelf because any real difference is going to take a long time to happen.  Do not expect it to sound or change like your typical hog/spruce or rosewood/spruce guitar.  They're very unique and specific in their sound; that's why less people buy them.

Please discard this info if I got your guitar's wood wrong.  Bin a hectic week and I wouldn't doubt that I forgot details of things here and there.  LOL. 

Stud Muffin,

Thanks for the info on Mahogany Guitars.

Just a quick update, the more I play this guitar, the more I like it, i have played it everyday since I bought it, infact I only put it down about ten minutes ago.
I think with the sound/tone been so different from my other guitars, it has taken a while for me to get use to it.
I'm sure it feels more free and easier to play, and also sounds louder with more sustain now compared to when I first bought it, only one week ago. 😀

@tbeltrans,

 Hi their, long time no hear, hope you are keeping fit.
 
 Thanks for the kind words with reference to the new Faith Guitar, and it's  little beauty  (well not that little).
And if I could do a two for one trade, another four or five times, it would get the flock down nice. 😀
