My new Williams S10
I just wanted to show off my new Williams S10. I got this in preparation for when gigs start up again. My other guitar is a 70lb Mullen Pre RP D10 which I love, but it’s a lot to take around and impossible to fly with! This one is approx. 23lbs.
Not only does it look incredible but the improvements they made since I had a 400 series are understated. 4 raise 3 lower, as much as you can ask for. The string mounting on the changer has changed a bit, it now is inserted through the post, I always liked this design a lot, and makes a lot of sense to me. Bill did an excellent job with this one. Tuning compensators, F# lower compensators and raise helper springs all feel really nice. Just can’t say enough how much I appreciate Williams and how much attention to detail they put into everything.

Looks Great
That’s a great looking colour. I am super happy with my Williams SD12 Extended E9
Mullen SD10, Sho~Bud SD10 LDG, Show-Pro SD10 LDG, Peavey Nashville 112, Telonic's F100 Multi-Taper Super Pro V/P, too many other guitars, amps and effects to mention.

Yes Jerry, it’s Travis’ setup exactly. Just giving it a try I’ve been eager to get into the 9 and 6 lower he uses on pedal 1. Ive been using the Bb lower as pedal 0 for a while now and I would never go back. A and C have F# lower compensators. I’m still tweaking the setup a lot! One thing that the raise helper springs have been good for is getting the pedal travel down a lot without loading down the changer. For anyone that might be suffering from not enough feel because of them, I’ve found that it makes short travel feel great! No ankle fatigue after hours of playing.
