I got this guitar at NAMM, but only received from Darren on the last day, as she had just been completed and was still settling - going from Canada to a cargo haul to California didn't help, I'm sure! :P She's now getting set up, as it appears to have settled nicely already. :)

Decibel Guitars are one of the fresh companies in the market betting on a new approach with ergonomy in mind - without making the guitar look like a turd! She sings beautifully and feels great. She has a one piece ash body, maple neck with a glorious pale moon fingerboard, DiMarzio TZ 7 / AN7 pickups, 3-way switch, kill switch and volume only. Signal chain is Db3 straight into the Eleven Rack, with a hair of high pass to prevent cluttering.

This was a very unexpected NGD, resulting from a trade with my good friend Ghislain. I love Teles, yet I am not really fond of them having 6-strings as everything I do in terms of my original stuff requires at least 7 strings.

Long story short, here it is in another of my "pseudo-songs for the occasion", through the Eleven Rack as usual, with very minimal post-production to let her sound through the rig take prevalence, featuring impromptu classical wannabe intro looping myself improvising a 5-part harmony as a half-arsed tribute to Baroque composers I like so much. :)
Personally, I am most definitely not an EMG guy, as I find them too prone to compress the sound, thus forcing me to resort to some rather unusual gymnastics to make my playing sound true to itself - this guitar is quite likely to be fitted with Lace Deathbars for some variation, and I think the Alumitones will work well with the inherently think acoustic tones of this particular axe. If not, my trusty DiMarzios haven't failed me in almost 20 years, so I'm safe. :)
