![]() And the piezo signal can be blended with the Duncans. Though there is no separate tone control for the piezo, whatever RMC does to EQ its sound was wonderful. It offered surprisingly good acoustic tone for a guitar with a metal bridge glassy highs with nice, even mids and punchy low-end. The acoustic tone we set up through a 100-watt Peavey Ecoustic combo. Granted, the coil-tapped pickups aided the effort… Once in the mood to clean things up, we ran the Duncans through our Peavey Delta Blues amp, and considering that these are humbuckers, what we got was a quite bright, punchy set of tones. ![]() Plugged into the amp’s high-gain input, the guitar offered a nice, balanced overdrive with just enough bite and good note separation, likely due to the combination of pickups and the mahogany body. Our test jaunt included running the i2p through a brand spankin’ new Bad Cat Wildcat amp, which is a versatile machine offering tones reminiscent of a Marshall combo, but with 6L6 power tubes (more on this next month). Practically speaking, it looks and works great, as long as you’re not using the new generation of all-in-one wireless transmitters. At first glance, this is very cool feature. Unique to Brian Moore guitars is the backside-mounted recessed jackplate. Great access to the neck’s upper registers added to our all-around experience. The contoured mahogany body (with figured maple top) looks dang cool from any angle, and helps keep the guitar’s weight down. And though the factory setup had super-low action, we experienced no choking-out whatsoever. Rather, there are so many things that make you think “ Can’t be an import.”įrom a playing standpoint, its flat neck (slightly less chunky than most Les Pauls) has a slinky, broken-in feel, thanks mostly to its scale length, Elixir strings, and finely polished frets. There is no single element of the i2p’s build and feature list that sets it apart from the majority of imported guitars. It features a three-piece mahogany set neck, figured maple top, RMC Piezo pickup, and a pair of Seymour Duncan humbuckers. We took a test gallop with the i2p, a 243/4″-scale, single-cutaway Les Paul-style guitar. And although they are imported from Korea, Moore’s specs – and the fact that every instrument is set up, inspected, and shipped from its stateside headquarters – eliminates from this guitar any negative element commonly associated with imports. All are set apart by their contoured bodies and sculpted headstocks. The mix of old and new includes classically inspired solidbody guitar shapes, but with a host of modern, updated twists, including midi/internet multi-pin connectors on some models. We are proud to have Tom and his influence on our team.Brian Moore Guitars’ i2000 line of guitars offer some fantastic features and options, on instruments that have a unique feel and vibe while retaining certain vintage… uh… shall we say “properties?” His clients and friends include Al Dimeola, George Benson, Sting and Jimmy Page.
