Sorry! I thought it was obvious!

I lifted the photo from your blog. I'm assuming it was taken by Steve. It's very much his style.

And that guitar sounds AMAZING!

Doesn't sound like the guitars are in standard tuning.

I found great comparison videos from Fazio's Music.
518e vs. 516ce
918e vs. 916ce

Enjoy!

These are great videos.  The GO covers a very wide part of the tonal spectrum.

It is an amazing guitar for sure.  I found the 918 to be bit bass heavy even a bit muffled if you will.  It could just be me though.  I was about two seconds away from buying one today but i ended up with a custom gs.

Nice ...thanks for that!

The left side of the room was undoubtedly louder ...easily evident when they switched guits and the 518's lead lines got drowned out.  Video/web compression being what it is, it's hard to make any firm/fast conclusions on tone; playing them live is the proof, to be sure.  But these vids offer interesting food for thought, IMHO.  Thanks for posting :)
