Flinthill vs Black Lightning

Sunday, September 6, 2009

 

Finally topped out on the Flinthill.

Upgraded cone, ebony capped bridge and bone nut.

Sounded 100 % better, greater depth and richer sound, but

still lacking something.

Then I had the opportunity to sell the Flinthill and buy a Regal RD-52 Black Lightning.

Was I ever surprised !!  The Flinthill isn't in the same class as the Regal.

The Regal has fantastic sound as received. I put a set of PEARSE 3050 strings on it and love it.

I did learn alot from upgrading the Flinthill, but buying the "Black Lightning"  was my best move.

 

Keep sliding that bar up and down the neck.
