Hello all, I've recorded a demonstration of some of the many sounds available on a Endorser:

http://www.box.net/shared/k8sfbioibf

You will probably want to open the above link in a separate tab or window. It's a cheap (ok, free) hosting site, so I don't know how long it will be available, I'll edit the post if it changes (or doesn't work!)

Hendrix.........................................Neck, single coil
Guns and Roses............................Neck, Humbucker
Houses of the Holy........................Both Humbucker, out of phase
StevieRayClapton...........................Both Single Coil, in Phase
Ten Years gone.............................Bridge Single Coil Intro, Bridge Humbucker Verse
Sweet Emotion...............................Bridge Humbucker again

You can hear the clicking of the push/pulls at times, all one take, flaws and all! Recorded with the thin flame (mmk53's) X-935cs Endorser through my Nau Custom with the gain pushed a bit (only a little!) at little over conversation volume thanks to the built in Power Scaling feature (uber cool) which makes the tubes run kinda spongy (breaks up easy).

Ten Years Gone is a good example of when you could use a Single Coil tone during one passage and totally change the feel of the tune by switching to Humbucker. I use that all the time, Single coil during the verse, Humbucker on the solos.

These guitars have lots of tones available, and in my opinion were way ahead of their time, and still hold their own with what is out there regardless of what you want to plunk down (PRS, Gibson, Fender S1 or that virtual stuff).

So give it a listen, I think you can download the file, it's in mp3 format. Cheers, Mike.

Awesome samples. My Endorser doesn't sound like that!
