Hey guys, I will be doing a full review and A/B samples with other guitars and my rig, but here is a recent show from The Garcia Project with The PHRED LIGER guitar instead of my usual WARMOTH that I use:

So far, the LIGER plays really nice and is a ton of fun...

Sweet!

Great tone for an el cheapo guitar. I like your keys too, and great vocals!

Peace,

James

Thanks James. I think the PHREDS are very nice, especially for the cost! I can't wait to try some more of them out. I still have my warmth custom build that I like a lot too.

Are you using the stock pickups? Any other mods? I have a Liger that I added a super 2 in the middle, a buffer, and an OBEL to and I'm quite pleased with it for the price. If you are using the stock pickups, they're better than I thought. I ripped the middle one out after only playing it for about 5 minutes. I ordered a S2 for it at the same time I ordered the guitar. I also noticed you have a brass piece over the p/u selector and possibly a one piece brass pickup ring??? Where did you score those?
You're playing sounds great as always. Which Mac are you using? Tough to tell in the pic...2100? I recently put together an SMS/mc50 1x12 K120 rig for portability purposes and I'm getting used to that and am quite pleased. I was using a Jerry modded 72 dual showman reverb, pre amped into an mc2120 and a 2x12 cab with E120s. Sounded great but its a back breaker. I'm still on the fence about the K's vs the E's as far as which tone I like better. Just curious what you're using as part of my continuous quest for the "sound"

I was using the stock pickups. I would like to get super 2s in the middle at least.

I got the brass from SFG.

I am using a modded mac 2100, a modded 67 BF twin and 2 reconed jbl e120s.

We are playing tomorrow night at Mexical Live in NJ (with members of the Zen Tricksters) and I will have my Phred, Warmoth and my Ibanez 78 musician and will most likely play all three throughout the night. We are performing and acoustic opening GD set, a classic Jerry band show (2 sets) and then a rocking electric GD set with tom and Klyph from ZT. Cant wait!

Ill post the show once i get it digitized - and RUKINDERS out in jersey, please come to the show!!
