6/9/2023 0 Comments Valley arts guitarAs for the EMG's, I don't know if the guitar you are considering has EMG Select (passive) or regular EMG's like the SA, 85 and 89, which are active. On top of that, I don't recall seeing many of the 7/8 with anything other a tune-o-matic and a bridge (a buddy of mine was the top Valley Arts dealer in the world around 1992), so that will also have an effect on the overall tone. That will have a definite impact on the basic sound of the guitar - it's part of the reason that Strats won't sound like a Les Paul even with a humbucker in the bridge and also why Les Pauls don't naturally sound "chime-y" or airy likes Strats.Īs for sound, there will be the effect of the scale length as a basis. But if the M Series are like the US-built guitars in basic layout, the 7/8 body was paired with a 24-fret neck that has 24.75-inch scale length, which is the scale length of many Gibson electrics. I own a US-made Standard Pro that is the "8/8" or full-size body but I'm not as familiar with the M Series, other than knowing that they were produced in Japan. This is similar to the size of Jackson Dinky and Soloist body shapes since about 1986. Yes, the body is 7/8 the size of full-size S-style body.
