It's not mine. But I wish :)

The maple board looks great with bolivian top.

This is my top but I will a Ebony fingerboard

Oh! I just assumed it was yours because the top is similar.

I was thinking about a tulipwood imperial- similar though.

I have to get a decent camera before I can make a video, but I'll see if I can sometime in the next couple weeks.

Joey and I tried them. They are a bit closer to "vintage" sound than the straight EMG pups, but at the end of the day, we were not overwhelmed by them in a way that made us want to switch our standard spec to using them. They also react a bit strangely to our preamp. I cannot remember exactly what happened with them, but I think that the passive tone control was basically useless when using them. Maybe Mike Pope came chime in here and help me out...

To be honest, I just don't remember what the deal was there. Sorry...I wish I could shed more light here.

Hi Otto B,, how did you changed that pot, and where did you get those knobs... Thanks,, I have my E5S on the way. Number 60....

I sell the dual mid pots, and I think Fodera has stock on them too (seems like I remember sending some at one point). It's a plug and play modification to turn the preamp into a 4 band config. Only takes a couple minutes to do. As easy as changing batteries.

I got the Stack Hi/Low Mid from Mike pope (thepontif) and the knobs from Fodera. I am glad I did the change, I love it. I have a lot more flexibility on the mids now. It was super easy to change it, it took me 5 min. I am happy for you are getting an E5S, you are going to love it, they are great, and the feel and the tone are just unbelievable. My E5S is number #40

Love the back. The look of ebony stringers is just crasy!

I was comparing No11 & No 73 and after a while I really couldn't tell if there were any discernible differences in body shape, then I remembered The Hareem Photo and sitting at 1st position was indeed No 73.

Man, trying to scrutinise Jason's collection had a bad effect on my poor eyesight and made comparison even harder, just too much candy on the eye. Please treat us to a high-res group shot sometime in the future.

Cheers..:0)

I would love to get #11 back to the shop some day for some newborn shots.

Those Imperials all look great!

Currently still in love with my Emperor 5 bolt on. Having a wenge and ebony ramp built for it currently by a local woodworker. This quilt is just sick!
