Yeah totally Andrew. Interesting stuff. Thanks.

Also I should mention Paul told me he will share ideas amongst trusted luthiers, so maybe email him...

I know I'm late on this but that is one bad axe you have. I would have to take a month off work and sit and play it 12 hrs a day. Very nice piece man.

Doesn't seem to be a lot of chatter here in the Guitar section...

PON, I'd love to know how things are going with the Doc after these last few weeks. How's it settling in? I imagine that it just keeps getting better and better as you play it in.

You're right Andrew, very little chatter here...come to think of it, weren't you supposed to treat us all to an AO thread? That would certainly spark some discussion.

And I second the follow up 'Doc review.

I freakin love it! The rest of my collection has been totally neglected.

It's rediculously responsive to pick attack. Can do some fun things with feedback, or dial it out really easily. I have to run my compressor really low or she wants to howl like a wolf.

The neck is really comfortable. Action is a bit high, kina plays like an acoustic. I was able to lower it without getting any fret buzz, but it seems some tone was sacrificed so I put it back up. I guess Paulknows what he's doing...

Basically it sounds as good as it looks....or better. It cuts through our bands mix really well. Can get lots of different tones out of it. One of my favorite toggle possitions is the dropped coil in parralel. Has a really cool quacky strat tone.

Once we get a good recording from band practice I'll post it up. Fair warning tho I am pretty much a rookie player. We are thinking about throwing our first gig soon. Getting really psyched about music opportunities these days!

Thanks for checkin in y'all. I can say if you can spring for a Doc, do it and don't look back. Really happy with the G4.

Here is some eye candy:

LOL...as expected, of course.

Great review though, very happy you're psyched with it (again, as expected). Can't wait to hear some audio.

Nice, PON...that's what we all expected, but I figured I should check in to get the good word directly.

And Patrick, thanks for reminding me...I'm finishing up a special project right now, so maybe this is a perfect time to start the AO thread.
