Would appreciate comments regarding the relative difference in tone ring holes. I'm having a walnut model built and would like the ring to bring out some brightness. Just wondering about comparative experience with this... Thanks !

Having all in hand I play the Zeus variant the most and the 40 hole ring the least and I can tell you it is about weight, proper tweaking and the T3 really sings- but you need the head tight

	mudlakesandy says: 5/23/2014 7:38:31 PM do have a wooden ring in one but with virtually no weight penalty the T3 which is the wood ring capped with titanium is the ticket. Wood ring is very mellow, and not as bright as the T3 timber tronic titanium
