EssentialTension Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 (edited) [quote name='Grand Wazoo' post='1192186' date='Apr 7 2011, 08:01 PM']Just in case you were wondering, the wood of the Butterscotch blonde is not basswood but pine[/quote] The CV 50s Telecasters are also pine. [quote]A canadian luthier speaks: I chose pine because it's one of the best tone woods in the world. It has the best resonance and the best vibration from the string. Pine is a very close relative to spruce and cedar, which have been used on acoustic musical instruments for thousands of years. This guitar became a point of controversy. It was a shock to people -- they assumed that pine was a junk wood since all the fancy guitars are made of flamed maple, quilted maple, spalted maple, and other exotic hardwoods, most of which do not reproduce the vibration of the string very well because they're hard and heavy.

Any mods happening to this one?[/quote] Nothing drastic, Lollar pickup (I knew it will come handy one day ) wiring, cts pots, switchkraft jack socket. As for the machineheads, I actually like them and in particular I am very fond of their hi-mass bridge, is a great piece of kit, I've found that the machineheads only need a good greasing with Singer sewing machine oil and a general tightening and they have always been honest in the tuning department with my previous 3 CV's.

dave_bass5 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I also like the machine heads. Although i use a very thin gig bag i dont find my basses go out of tune during transport, and ive never had a bass go out of tune at gigs. As they are something i rarely touch ive never even considered changing them. One on my CV Jazz was slightly faulty when it arrived (buzzing rather than slipping etc) abut a bit of super glue soon fixed that. So, new bass arrived?
