I have a Seagull S6 spruce and a Teton STS105 cedar and mahogany. How will this compare? I'm looking for warm deep and mellow sounds.

The tones are deep and rich with crystal clear notes. The DR-500MCE has a beautiful mix of bright and mellow tones. Seemingly you should be able to achieve any tone you want.

That's difficult to answer. IMO this guitar's greatest strengths are the pickups but the acoustic sound, construction and playablility are still well above average. Best thing is to go to your local dealer to demo it and then decide. See my review dated January 10, 2014.

To me there's nicely balanced - some have described a deeper bass due to the wood - I can hear it but its not obnoxious nor out of place - I think they are well tuned per se. I've never heard them distort on harder tracks which tells me the its well engineered - warm ? Yeah its a nicely balanced warm...

To answer question.I like the very warm and mellow sound you can create.Also if you like little crunch I have no problem with that either I think for the money you cant beat the quality. looks good too. thanks and play around with it you will like Iam sure.

I have the KEFs and the ML Electromotion ESLs. Both are very good but I think the KEF is probably the better speaker overall. That said, if you have the right room either will be good. I seriously considered sending the KEFs back right up until the last second. Since keeping them I've worked more on placement and coupling to the stands and that's squeezed extra performance from the KEFs which makes me glad I have them. The logan's will be happiest if the room is larger and you can get them well away from the walls, I'm able to give them about 5 feet behind them and I don't feel like that's quite enough. I had an older pair of Aerius i in a larger room where I was able to give them 7-8 feet and the presentation always blew me away. With my smaller room now I haven't been able to extract the same magic from the newer ESLs even though I feel the new ESLs are tonally well beyond the quality of the older Aerius. The KEFs will make use of all the space you can give them too, but their different approach doesn't require it as much and with their limited bass extension they'll be happier in a smaller room.

I put this on my Tahoe, it also has a 5.7 and I love the sound,it's like a growl at takeoff but without drone and not too loud at highway speeds

It sounds more hollow body than solid body. Very warm and soulful sound. Not a lot of high end of the pickups, but the low end resonates instead of rattles. I own vintage Gibson, Rickenbacker and Fender basses, as well as a Schecter, and this is the bass I use most often as I play more often in soul and blues settings .... I would suggest replacing the nut with a bone nut, but outside of that, it unpacks ready to go. Only downside, it is very neck heavy, so the right strap is crucial.

I would not characterize these strings as 'really bright'. They are not 'tinny' or metallic sounding. The highs are not over-powering, nor are the lows. These are the only strings that I have used that I feel really let the true 'wood' sing. I recommend a try. Cost is not much, and you will suffer the time in a string change. I have one guitar that I have used silk and steel, by Martin, on it since 1974. I won't use another type. I have a Martin, which is fairly new (6 mos) and have gone through 3 cycles of the recommend strings that came with it. The next change will be with the S&S; strings. I wanna hear how they react to the Indian Rosewood/Sitka combo of my Mrtin. I would not characterize these strings as 'really bright'. They are not 'tinny' or metallic sounding.

I've tried standard, open D & G tunings with slide technique on the Honey Dipper. You should be very pleased with the guitar. As others have commented it is a heavy metal object, but that's where the sound you're looking for originates. Go for it.

Solid cedar top and solid mahogany sides and back. My Artist Mosaic sounds great in small settings (use a very thin pick) but it will hold its own in a small performance studio. Overall just a beautiful sound.

I recommend Seymour Duncan Custom Staggered SSL-5 Pickup(smooth rich tone.i bought one for my fender.bridge position) or fender texas special pickups(these have that fender tone,came stock in my fender these are in my neck position and middle position.both are different.Strings DR'S or ernie ballsif he is just learning I recommend lit gauge strings just make sure he is dedicated to playing before you start adding new pickups strings ect....I have seen a lot of nice guitars in closets for years untouched.

I bought the Lyr and Bifrost by SchiitJust sent the Bifrost in for an overhaul - new boards (UBER) and getting new tubes for the LyrFor under $1k I don't think you can do better - Just got the wife a Valhalla for her HD650s - even SHE likes it <g>

I don't own this guitar but it will probably be my next purchase. It is my understanding that the C3M is the only one of the three that has a truss rod. I find this feature important to the longevity of the instrument. It also has a solid wood top which will have better tone. And, the fingerboard has a gentle radius which will make it easier to play. To me that's worth a few bucks.

I have a ssl-5 at the bridge. It rocks! I have fender noiseless in the middle and neck position. Your best bet is to call seymour Duncan , they are very helpful with every question I have ever asked them. That is one of the main reasons I keep dealing with there products. Plus the are top of the line in my opinion, I have seymour Duncan pickups in all three of my strats.

I bought a Martin Guitar about a year ago and after replacing my several high-end sets, it never sounded as good as when I bought, so I did a little research and found that the guitar I bought came with the Martin Lifespan SP. The next time when I replaced my string with these and I really love the tone. But as many will tell you... it's all kind of subjective and just boils down to what you like, but it I think it would be worth a try!

The top is spruce with a composite body...do not let that discourage you. This guitar sounds like a Martin. The quality is awesome and it is more durable and less expensive.I use mine for studio recording using a mic. The pickups are o.k. but the guitar sounds much better using a good mic.

I replaced a coleman unit and the Atwood was 50% quieter . It is a great unit. It is on a houseboat . Going to buy a second unit soon. Would like to stay with amazon, but they couple hundred dollars higher than other places on the web.
