#BasilFung with #FrankieValliAndTheFourSeasons laid down some Very Very Clean riffs on a #BareKnucklePickups equipped Strat scaled #Tau6 at #NAMM2023. 
It’s nice to have an in-your-face reminder that the artist dominates the sound, and the instrument should do its best to show the details.

Yin Yang kindof pickup. Very clean and revealing. Clearly shows my sloppy attack and release, ringing of unmuted strings, general poor form, and lack of understanding of Filtertron pickups. 
Very sensitive to pic stroke location, angle, string type; with a lot of bass from a bridge pickup. 
Highlights the bennies of removable pickups. Lots to try out in life.

The feel of green grass, polished stainless frets, and raw roasted maple in the hand. The comfort of the sun’s warmth and string locks done right. Aww summertime.

Playing piezos only with the mags out is different. A little trippy.

F around and find out. Are @Chaz.Leon and @JeffYoungguitar with #KingsOfThrash, always this happy or does losing 6lbs of dead weight on a studio instrument free you up a bit? #namm2023

Unique In house Design Headpiece

  • Uses miniature headstock 

          • Works with standard wall mounts and head-stock stands

          • Cool with clip on tuners

          • Keeps good hand feel at nut

  • Works with any standard strings (single ball end)

          • String locked down over a large area, so string breakage reduced compared to using set screw’s

          • Fast! re-stringing

          • Strings don’t need a pre-bend with a tool

  • Uses standard nuts

          • String to string variations in string height at the nut are possible

          • So intonation correcting nuts are possible

    • Made from 6061T6 hard anodized aluminum

          • Not zinc pot metal

Headless

  • Works better
        • Shortens and overall lightens guitar (5” shorter! 75 gm less)
        • Better balance
        • Headless have less problems from unwanted dead notes and wolf tones on neck from vibrating headstock masses
        • Better pitch to midi conversion, in midi applications
        • Tuners at the other end (same as a locked down Floyd Rose)

            • For better overall balance

            • Pic hand tuning

  •  Less unsung string; like string-locks with no head
        • Holds tune better, less to detune after large bends
        •  Removes need for dampeners for sympathetic singing
        • More responsive bending, earlier pitch change during bend

  • Shaped carbon fiber pickguard,  flush with body

  • Aluminum allows

    • Highly contoured back heel for easy reach-around for high notes

Tonally connects the neck to bridge

  • Tonewood Pickup carrier connects bridge and neck as structural element in parallel with body

Vibes in tone wood can be an easily changed sound addition

  • Piezo sensors number and location on tonewood can be added to per-string piezo sound
  • Mag Pickups mounted directly to tonewood carrier (vs. pickguard in a typical guitar)
  • TonewoodVibes change pickups movements in relation to string
