Thanks James! That is exactly what i hear in my guitar. It's very bright so I'd like to try and mellow it out a bit. If the XR16's beef up the mids and lows a little, that may be the way to go.

Hey Larry,

What is it you like about those XR16? I've heard people really dig them.

Also, I saw the pictures of your new guitar.....awesome!!!!

thanks for the info. guys. I like the Trutone, but just wondered if anyone had a good experience with a different pickup.

I've been thinking of trying another pickup in my guitar. Right now I have a Trutone (in a Uni 12 Williams).

So the question is, what pickup do you have? Also, are Williams considered a Wide mount pickup type?

Thanks for your help.

Great axe!

Before I bought my Wiliams I had a GFI. Those guitars are smooth as glass!

Red Gold Beauty reminds me that I have to come up with a nickname for my guitar....hmm....

yeah! see, that's exactly what I was talking about. You're right, I wish it was longer too....If I could only figure out what he's doing and transcibe that to E9th/B6th!

darn!!! I wish this was in the states so I could buy it! I hear these pickups are awesome.

I went to school for guitar making and probably the only thing I heard about the type of wood is that it is quarter sawn rather than slab cut lumber. I even sam Bob Taylors "pallet" guitar which was made out of a pallet from his warehouse (so pretty much cheap pine). He's really all about ...

Hey Robert,

I'd be interested in the Sitar bar, let me know.

Brian

wow, awesome! Thanks Jim!

I'm very much a less-is-more, passive electronics, tube kind of guy. I'm right there with you Jim! 8) I started with a Ernie Ball pedal, but I was given an older Goodrich 120 and I gotta say I prefer this pedal. The throw feels a little better and may serve you well while playing six string. I've a...

What Mike said! Sweet looking guitars!

1) White Mica Williams S12WB universal 7x4
2) Goodrich 120 volume pedal
3) MXR Dyna Comp Compressor
4) Boss RV3 pedal
5) Vox AC15 (with single 12" Celestion Alnico Blue)
6) National thumb and Dunlop finger picks
7) BJS bar or some unidentified 10 string bar
Cobra Coil strings

count me in!!

Anyone ever tab this tune out on C6 or E9th/B6th?

Seems like it would be fun to play.

Thanks guys! I really did want to try something a little different as far as the looks of the guitar, hence the white mica. I always liked those white MSA guitars!!

Howard, I think the three pedals look black because of the way the light is hitting the guitar. They're all polished!

Thanks guys, I'm really enjoying it already. Larry - you're right, it is a universal (which I'm still trying to get some more of the B6th stuff going). I'm not a sax player, my wife is. The great thing is she bought a really nice pro level sax so I was "allowed" to ge the willy! She even p...

I'd say right round 30 lbs which is great considering my GFI S10 Ultra was around 25 - 28lbs. I'm basically speechless about Williams, Bill is making some amazing stuff!

Are you thinking about getting one Terry?

600 series, 7 & 4. Plays awesome, sounds awesome. This is by far the nicest guitar I've owned!

All these pictures are awesome! I ordered a S12 Universal widebody from Bill about a month ago, I CAN'T WAIT TO GET IT!!!

b0b,

you know, after all the helpful responses, a smaller bar does make total sense. Not that I'm a fast player, but the standard bar size does feel comfortable, so why mess with it? Different strokes for different folks I guess!

Bobbe - Just ordered a BJS from your shop, I couldn't resist!

awesome! I love the look of a white MSA!

thanks for all the input guys! I think I'll stick to a 10 string bar, seems logical from what I've read plus I'm already comfortable with it!

Olli - I'll try the Cobra Coil bar, thanks. By the way, love your Williams guitar!

I've been using the bar that I had while playing a 10 string, but I was wondering if I should be using a longer bar....what do you suggest? Thinking about order a Cobra Coil bar too, anyone use one?
