A Hell of a Guitar

[robert]

Just to let you know, I have a very special guitar called Hell guitar. It is built by a friend of mine, and I will have demos up soon. This is a fantastic sounding instrument that will be available for around $6-700 USD.

I am very excited about this guitar, because it's not expensive, but it sounds killer and is so nice to play. It already is one of my top 3 guitars, after having it only for 3 days.

It's a Tele style guitar, and I think it looks gorgeous. It features Bare Knuckle pickups, and the guitar is called No. 2.

Very nice. I've always liked the tux look on teles.

Had to chuckle at the script on their upcoming website ( http://www.hellguitars.com/ )

"We will be open for business soon. In the meantime, how can we Hell you?"

I like that effect the tone pot has on the sound. Wonder what type of cap is being used to get that tone. Overall, it's a Tele, but not your typical Tele. It sits high on the versatility standings when it comes to sound. Good playing makes the whole experience even better.

That's one of the things I noticed too. It works really well, and changes the tone a lot if you want. I like that.


Here is a short high gain clip I recorded last night with this guitar and the loops in Logic for bass and drums. I used Pod Farm 2 for the guitar tones - the lead guitar is a variac'd Plexi with a Rat pedal.

Here is a short clip where I miced my Mack Heatseeker - no pedals used, just a bit of reverb added in Logic.

Absolutely well balanced clips! I especially liked the hook (change up) on the high gain example. Certain aspects of the sound gives it a Strat flavor (more so than other Teles). The only other Tele that comes that close (to a Straty sound) to me was that  Fender Deluxe Blackout Tele. But they still had to use 3 pickups and the 5 way PU switch.   http://www.guitarcenter.com/Fender-Deluxe-Blackout-Telecaster-Electric-Guitar-104801543-i1371267.gc  I wish I kept the one I had.

I like the design of it. On the jazz tone that you played,  it really sounded sweet. Are these made in Canada?

Thanks guys, no they are made in China.
