Every year or so John Palir and I collaborate to strap a dream guitar together that we think will delight John's customers as much as myself. I'm very fortunate to be able to work with John on this level and even more fortunate to own several of his guitars. This year we've gone for a 'blackguard' take on the La Cabronita Especial. The Palir Titan C4 features stainless steel 6105 frets, an S1 Cabronita Especial circuit, soft V 9.5" oiled maple neck and a superb ash body. To top it off we're running Jason Lollar's insanely great Lollartron Traditional Mod pickups which have Alnico 5 magnets in them. I'm more than a little besotted with these pickups.
For this video I've chosen to run the guitar through Fender Super and HIWATT DR103 models in my Axe-FX II XL+ as this is how I'll be running it on stage. I gave up 'real' amps for stage use a long time ago because the hit/miss quality ratio for backline hire was beginning to sway in the direction of 'miss' making every gig risky. I've had no such experience with Fractal Audio in the 5 years I've been running it exclusively.
I wish to send a ton of love and thanks to John and Katie Palir, and Jason and Stephanie Lollar. You guys make the best gear and I'm very lucky to be able to fly the flag for you. Thank you all.
BK.
