Hello guys! The last week I have been contacted by an important Argentinean luthier called Pablo Lojo. He has been working making guitar for many years to important musicians here. As he likes Cirse and my work at GMC, he decided to offer me building one of his models called "LOJO ROSA" with all details about electronics, pick ups and colors specially customized by me.
He has made a guitar as a present for James Hetfield, and gave it when Metallica played at the Antartida: I went to his workshop and tried many of his models, and I decided that I like this one: Its sounds killer, it's a very versatile guitar that can get big powerful sounds like my Les Paul but also can emulate those classic Fender sounds, and it seems that everything between. I feel that it will be a very useful guitar for GMC guitar lessons but also for playing with Cirse. I decided that I wanted it looking like this guitar that he made based on PRS single cut (without pickguard, this color and with gold bridge) Today we have been discussing about the top, and this is the maple that he will use. It's very original, isn't it? If you are curious you his website to see his works: http://www.pablolojoluthier.com/ These are some more pics that I took when I visited him: I still have to decide the pick ups, I was planing for something similar to the Seymour that I have in my Gibson (jb and Jazz). What do you think? Do you have any ideas or suggestions? -------------------- My lessons

Hey Kris Thanks for the tip with the treble bleed! I had no clue about it, but I looked it up and I found an extremely interesting pdf which I want to share with everyone here: Treble Bleed explained
For those of you who were in my situation, here's a little excerpt of the article in the PDF, explaining what treble bleed is all about: 'You may have noticed that as you turn your electric guitar's volume pot down the sound loses treble becoming progressively bassier. This is particularly noticeable with single coil pickups - humbuckers are not affected nearly as much. This treble loss is not a problem for everyone, as many guitarists prefer to roll off the volume slightly to get a slightly darker and less overdriven sound for rhythm playing. Turning up the volume for leads then not only boosts drive, but brightens the sound too, helping it cut through the mix better. So I'd say the golden rule is - listen to your guitar, if the loss of treble is too extreme for your taste, start tweaking. If it sounds fine to your ears - leave things as they are' Hope this helps |
