@@JoonKimDMDKind of difficult to say: it is actually more hollowed out than it appears to be, and it certainly makes the guitar extremely lightweight.

@@riffs66 Oh~ I didn't know it affect the weight. I was a fender strat player and PRS DGT core is too heavy for me. I am about to switch to PRS CU24 because it has thinner neck for my small hand and also 1~2 lbs lighter than DGT. PRS sound with strat weight would be awesome but I guess that's why silversky exists. Besides the weight, what do you think of the sound? DGT is too Gibson like and I have hard time making transition from Fender Strat's bright sound to this dark and hot sound.

@@JoonKimDMD This guitar has a super wide range of tones. The pickups as humbuckers are not as dark as a Les Paul tone, and when you do the combo settings and the tapped positions, it sounds EXTREMELY close to a Strat. All in all, every setting is useful and musical, in my opinion - very different than a standard PRS with two humbuckers. Try one if you’re able 👍🏼

@@garzoroberto7623 Thank you, sir 🙏🏻 Using a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe here with an Xotic SP Compressor.

@@mordomaniac I’m absolutely the same way but somehow I’m comfortable on this guitar. I got used to it quickly and the edges don’t bother me 👍🏼

@@riffs66 THX so much!

Excellent guitar! Not a 10 top, just “regular”, although it looks amazing. Thanks 🙏🏻

@riffs66 honestly, I don't see what al the hype is about with a 10 top.

@@hansschloss4630 Thank you 🙏🏻. All things considered, my preference is definitely the Suhr. I prefer the fingerboard radius, the neck shape, and the overall comfort of the Suhr. Whenever I want to test a new pedal or dial in an amp, that’s the guitar I reach for first - absolutely. I currently have 3 Suhr models (Legacy, Custom Classic, and a Classic Pro) and they’re virtually perfect. The ONLY slight negative of these three is that the Classic Pro is a little heavier than I’d like - but it also is probably the best sounding overall. The Cutlass is also very very well made, sounds really good, and plays well, but I wish the fingerboard was a little flatter than 10” (just my preference), it’s also very lightweight. They’re close! But the Suhr guitars are my favorites.

Thank you very much😊

Nice! 🙏🏻

@@chuckcochran462 🙂‍↕️yessir

@@DeathScythe_XXG Thank you - I agree: it does sound like a darker/richer Strat 👍🏼

@@martoni3214 Hello! These kind of medium overdrive tones I get with any tube amp that gets a full, clean tone. I always use a compressor first (I like the Xotic SP Compressor), then an overdrive (maybe a Greer Lightspeed or a Wampler Moxie) then a bit of delay and reverb. Thanks for checking in 🙏🏻

Yessir! 🙏🏻

Fender Hot Rod Deluxe

@@riffs66 my fav amp, what amp and cab(ir) do you think work for this tone on the fractal?

@@JuanPerez-xg6lt I use Factory 781 & 786 for everything. ¯\_(ツ)_/

I still think the Air Classic is fantastic and would be great in this type of guitar. Thanks for the kinds words 🙏🏻

I haven’t tried the S type EMGs since forever. I think the SA is alnico magnets 🧲? I’m sorry I can’t give a good answer.

@@mendittoamplification 🤔

@@weets69 Absolutely - they nailed the tapped humbucker tones and the narrow field middle pickup makes those “in-between” positions sound extremely Stratocastery 👍🏼

@@loveguitars ‼️🙏🏻‼️

Thanks again! ‼️🙏🏻‼️

The PT15 IR and FM9 do not play well together.

Can you possibly make a video of the issues your describing and reply with it here?

@@riffs66 HI Joe, I have not worked enough with TH-cam and recording to make such a video. I appreciate you getting back with me, not quite sure where to go from here. But, it seems the Suhr Pete Thorn is part of the problem.

@@jnparesa are you getting tinny tones out of the split (coil tapped) positions?

@@riffs66 I tried all the positions on the guitar. I am running my FM9 through a Suhr PT15. It sounds pretty darn good straight. I also bought a Suhr hombre and with my Tele it is the best sounding amp I have ever owned. Today, I will move the FM9 to the Hombre and see how that sounds. I purchased a Mighty Dog Guitar, my gosh it is like nothing I have ever played.

Factory 781 & 786 👍🏼🙏🏻

‼️👍🏼‼️

How good do you think this guitar compairs to the suhr st and fender stratocaster? Im thinking about getting a music man cutlass myself.

Yes - stock!

@@riffs66 Don't know those can produce such tones! Imma give them another shot before considering replacing them with lollars.

@@riffs66 And superb playing yo🥵

@@WarrenYang-sd1 Thank You 🙏🏻

Thank you, sir

Thanks 🙏🏻

Amazing it still works perfectly

Thanks again !

🧐

WILLIAM!!

Thanks! 👍

😊👍🏼

Yes, 2 springs on this guitar. It just worked out that way. The springs are on the heavier side tension wise, and once the claw was adjusted so that the bridge was decked on the body, these 2 springs just balanced correctly. 👍🏼Thank you very much 🙏🏻

I’m sure the FM-3 can get all these tones. I’m using 2 amps but the blend is not 50/50. 80% of the tone is a single amp with the other slightly faded in. I’ve actually never used the Fractal thru a guitar speaker cab, or through the FX loop of a tube amp… I should, though.

@@riffs66 what do you play it through?

@@jaymills1720 Here it’s through a pair of Event TR8-XL studio monitors. 👍🏼

@@riffs66 woah so it would sound even better through a PA or cabinet specific for digital amps !?

@@jaymills1720 could be!

Thank you 🙏🏻

Thanks 🙏🏻 a bunch!

Thanks!!

Very kind of you - thank you 🙏🏻

Indeed

I also have the AZ47P1-QM (Dragon’s Eye Burst) and it is excellent. I flipped the Air Norton on it and also changed the volume and tone potentiometers and installed a high quality 5-way switch - GREAT guitar.

Thank you, sir

Thanks! - it’s a DiMarzio Air Norton 👍🏼

Thanks again!

Awesome, thank you!

🙏🏻

I think the 36th is a good match for the Fantom. NOTE: the Fantom can and should be set quite close to the strings. Compared to a real P-90, it works better (and blends best) with it set higher than you might expect.

Thank you 🙏🏻: I’ve had good luck with a few different setups. I like the Suhr SSV+ and their 60’s singles, also like the Thornbucker Plus with a couple of DiMarzio Area 61s. I’ve also been loving a set of EMGs: 85/SA/SA - all do something cool!

@@riffs66 Thank you for the information. Just watched your other video. I think I’ll replace mine with a Thornbucker Plus and 2 sets of Area 61 for that extra “squonky” sound
