Michael Sweet's Guitars
Washburn's official video for Sweet's signature guitar.
He praises this guitar in Guitar World interview.
"What makes the MS Priestess so special?
Everything. From the wood that’s used to the placement of the knobs and even the use of medium frets. They’re the specs I like on a guitar. I have a 24-fret ebony neck and use Seymour Duncan Blackout pickups. I’ve also reversed the position of the pickups so that the bridge pickup is in the neck position and the neck pickup is in the bridge position. They both have very similar output but I really like the way it sounds. It’s not muddy and gives me a little bit more of my own signature tone. It’s also got a Big Block Brass from Adam Riever over at FU-Tone, which makes a huge difference in the tone. When people pick it up and play it, it sounds great."
At 4:45 you can see a Les Paul hanging on the wall in the studio.
"I also used a PRS Custom 24 with Blackout pickups, as well."
