Is the volume issue only when amplified or is the issue present in the acoustic sound of the guitar as well?
Good point! No issues unplugged. This guitar has a great acoustic resonance through all the fretboard. That discards some variables of the equation, like saddle or nutIs the volume issue only when amplified or is the issue present in the acoustic sound of the guitar as well?
Interesting tour at the Soloking factory.
At 5:15 you can see a Ibanez neck. Somebody asks at the comments, and they reply that at their factory they also build necks for Ibanez.
Resonance related dead spot .LOL. It is not the first string. It is only the high C# that has less power than the other notes, and a slight "phase" artifact. That happened yesterday night, and I as too tired to figure it out.
I guess that all guitars have their loud and low resonance points. Not a big issue. The thing is that I was playing Pink Floyd's Echoes, and it happened at my favourite passage where it makes a reverse bending from C# to C at he 1st string. That also happens at the 2nd string same note, but a little bit less.

I've made a recording to be sure that I am not crazy. And I am using a compressor. The level difference is worst without it.
Not a problem, just a "delicatessen" curiosity to live with. I would have probably never noticed if I were not playing that particular piece.

Resonance related dead spot .
Isn't "CDO" the proper order of letters, tho?It goes from sounding like a phase cancellation to a full on oscillation and virtually no note. Yes OCD now.
I watched that vid where is it that they are cutting corners? I saw that they are not gluing down frets but honestly I don't see anything else that would cause a concern.Guitar building is about many things and if you cut the corners on all of them you'r in trouble. This is where we are at this price, better to make a simple guitar well. If you look at old Gibson student models (Les Paul junior etc) that is how you make a good cheap instrument ,not buy adding features by removing them.
There is a huge amount of corners cut .The fret dress is laughable and the QC will be too if Vintage brand are anything to go by. Then add the thick plastic finish .I watched that vid where is it that they are cutting corners?

IDK the MS-1 Artisan specs don't look too shabby, I might put one in my hands to see if it's worth the $579. Even if you had to set it up it up might still be worth it.There is a huge amount of corners cut .The fret dress is laughable and the QC will be too if Vintage brand are anything to go by.
