So nice, love the northern ash!

 

[Cantstandsya]

Haven’t picked this up yet, but damn….pickups are Nordstrand PolyVox multi coils.

 

[5StringPocket]

Interested in how these sound. What preamp is being used with those PolyVox?

If Nordstrand has rounded-end Dingwall pickup shells (or can make them reliably and accurately), that's huge news.

Yes, they can. The shells are actually sourced by Dingwall. Nordstrand can get them for you.

Oof, now I'm thinking D-bird with triple Big Singles.

Nordstrand 2-band, active/passive with master tone.

I’m probably going to be posting some 5 string Big Blades with Dingwall covers in the classifieds soon.

Happy Friday! - new (to me) D-Roc day to start off the weekend right.

Congrats! I had brutal fights with my hoarding instincts to avoid buying that one twice. Once when it was for sale at Ish, and again when Mike put it up on Reverb. I bet it is a beast.

I'm definitely going to have ask Nordstrand about a set of those. Would be a great match with the Underhill filter preamp I'm using.

I love it.....there's just something awesome about how the customs feel/resonate with a wenge neck. The FDV's can really grind and they provide a nice contrast to the SFII/SFII/P-Tone setup in my ABZ. Why did I wait so long to buy a Dingwall?

That looks great. Congrats!

It’s human nature or at least often male nature to buck the trends and deny change in a positive direction. lol.

THIS!! ^^^

Reading my mind with the triple Big Singles.

I'd be tempted, even if it renders my S/P switches useless.

 

[Callum Gibson]

I was toying with a Z3 order. Put it on hold. Then those new tops came out. But then the one I wanted was gone already. Now on hold again.

If you’re even on the fence, the Z is the gold standard, IMO. You won’t even think about the cost and wait after receiving it and playing it. My passion for my Z knows no rival. If my theoretical and totally non-existent wife said “me or the Z” it would be the Z without hesitation. But that’s just me. lol.

 

[DeltaPhoenix]

Agreed on the Z except maybe the wife part.

I got another piece of Canadian awesomeness today - a Broughton P15 tube preamp/DI. It really has a great sound and the Dingwalls shine through it!

 

[silky smoove]

I’ve toyed with the idea of a Z as well. For those that have played both, how would you qualify the differences between a Z and a Sklar?
