I had a little fun with this the other night. With a strat I had to run it through a boost (DOD Bifet Boost) and 2 overdrives (Boss SD1 and DOD Overdrive 250) to get anywhere close. This was through...
This week, a gospel infused "soul jazz" classic, the blues, but not a 12 bar... I'll kick us off as usual, and comments are always cool with me.
I'd be interested to read experiences people have had, good or bad, with pickups without height-adjustable pole pieces. Please state type of pickup (obviously including blade or CC-type), string type...
Yes, I admit I hijacked the thread, hopefully now the urge has passed and I'm not to bother anyone with this for a while.
The short answer is..."close". Strung with flats will get you a very nice jazz tone, however not as thick as a full hollow guitar. And there will be more sustain than any archtop. My CS356 is...
This is all for me an argument for adopting this left hand fingering. I prefer the control separate fingers gives. It feels less sloppy to me. Awkward at first but getting more natural. It’s not...
For me, the key to this phrase is to play the third note, Bb, with your first finger and to play the next note, F, with your fourth finger. Then you can articulate the Eb and D nicely. If you pick...

I read somewhere that ’the secret’ of the Shaws is the Unoriented Alnico 5 magnets. Strength and sound somewhere in between A5 and A2. I have used UOA5s in some pickup in some Les Paul before and...
Yes but it has a C14 AC connector like your Voodoo for the AC input. Maybe a C14 in with C14 outs (allowing you to use C14/C13 short power cords) would be better. Just did a quick search on 'AC...
I have been messing around with: Joyo American Sound (basically a Tech 21 Blonde clone, but with a slightly different EQ) —> Quilter Microblock 45 —> pine cab loaded with an Eminence GA-10 SC-64 (or...
This PRS promo video explores the rock tones of this fine guitar, but this full hollow can get mellow. It comes close tonally to my H-525. The SE Hollowbody II | PRS Guitars - YouTube
Sure you can play it like this, but does it feel and sound to you - smooth, articulated and funky? It is not kind of a line which is ok to be played sloppy (and live tempo usually is faster). Here...
