12/56s on a "Special"!
Posted: 29 Nov 2023, 18:12
After toying with the idea for a while, I finally put a set of 12/56s on My Shadow Special. Now I know that my ears are not the best but there definitely is a difference. I've been on the 9/42s and the sound is much rounder and fuller, with plenty of volume from the 12 end! It took a good while to set up the floating trem and had to use a full set of springs to even things up, so that knife edge will certainly feel the strain now! Leaving it overnight to settle and then have another play around tomorrow. I've had a good week on ebay, so the "toys" and new "bits" may be incoming again soon, for my stratalike! No "Burns " night for me tonight! Have a good one, Mike.
