    In Scotland, distillers use barrels until they fall apart, but in the usa...distillers can only fire and use them once. So nice to see such a work of sonic art out of wood that can only hold whiskey once...nice!

    I know exactly what you mean about the whiskey smell. At work one time a few years ago, I ran out at lunch time and bought two half-whiskey barrels to plant roses in for my back patio. Had a VW van at the time and it was rainy, so I left the windows closed. When I got in after work to drive home, the interior aroma would knock you out! You're an amazing guitarist, Justin. Love all your videos!

    Not only it gonna be twangier in bridge position as opposed to neck but especially when you swap the humbucker to the neck position!!! A single coil is a twangier sounding pickup period in contrast to a humbucker........Let alone the placement.....Still cool, definitely different from traditional placement but personally I prefer the power in the lead setting and the classic neck position single coil.....Awesome guitar though for sure!!!!
