PJ, that is some awesome wood!! Aside from the bird's eye fingerboard, Paul won't build a body for you using that Asian ebony?
BTW, PJ can probably answer that question best regarding the previous topic of tonal difference of wood since all his Wal's are strung up with Elixir's.
Anyhu, This was my weekend during a nice downpours yesterday morning (decided to take solo pics of all my kids - but i'll post only my Wal's here):
Wow Nice collection ! The Black MKIII makes me anxious to have one !
Yes , all my Wals are loaded with Stainless Stell 045 100 Elixirs so :
Black MKI , Ebony FB= Most brighter sound and more "Twang" of all
Pro II = Super Vintage tone, Low Mids and no bright
MKII Walnut = Mix between the previous PRO II and Black MKI
MKII Birdseye, Ebony FB Trans Red, Lee bass, Ebony FB = Very dirty and a lot of Bass / Treble. Less mids
MKII Flamed, Rosewood FB = Very Bright, Very low and a lot of mids
MKIII Zebra , Ebony FB= Mellow tone, too light weight bass
MKIII 5 Walnut , Rosewood = Bright, not so much lows
Wait a minute how'd she sneak in there!!!!
