Re: Terror Twins...pictures
I have a "few" PC1's. And I have never gone to NAMM and not come home with a guitar. Last year was the Roswell, we will see what I can find this year. Any of you gonna be there?
As far as sound, every PC1 sounds different. You can take 2 pieces of mahogany from the same tree and 2 pieces of quilt, make 2 identical guitars, and they will sound different
Phil had a Lacewood PC1 made right after he saw mine, and it sounds a lot different, even though the woods the same). The solid body guitar seem to sound more chunky, in come cases.
Also, I have 2 KOA PC1's, both are from the EXACT tree, one is a KOA top, the other is a KOA body. And if I went with the same theory as the Lacewood, where the solid body sounded chunkier then a mahogany body with a quilt top, the KOA solid body would sound better. But no, the KOA top sounded so good that when Phil checked it out, he played it on stage for a few songs. When he saw the KOA body, he said it didnt have as much punch to it, and back in the case it went. I only play thru a Peavey 12" combo amp, thru some effects I got from Phil from the 92 tour, and cant really hear a difference. But when Phil plugged my guitars into the Randall stacks on stage, I thought it was a totally different guitar, and had to change my pants.
When Phil was playing at NAMM 03, he took questions, and no one really had any, so I played dumb and asked what the sustainer does and what are those little switches. No one knew who I was or if I knew better. He said the guitar basically sustains by its self, but then showed how the sustainer works. I have one of Phils 1997 PC1's and the thing sustains just fine without the sustainer, unless im gonna play something like the intro to "White Lightning". Other then that, never used the sustainer.
As far as a rare PC1, the KOA's are hard to find. Or a solid body Ash PC1 or a NAMM used guitar, like the 1 I just sold. It was a Rootbeer from a NAMM show, signed by Phil. Other then that, im not selling any others. If you are going to buy a PC1, I suggest trying one on first. People have told me the necks are to big, dont like not having inlays etc. Email me sometime Tim....
