Ah that part of that Bill Evans video is great.
Phosphor Bronze? Yuck. Too bright too long and then suddenly dead. Give me 80/20s any day. Start off super bright but then mellow out in a way PB never does.

At the beginning of ‘the Universal mind’ Bill Evans talks about the difference between approximating things and doing it properly: “They [students starting out] tend to approximate the product,...
I usually put mine in a jar on top of the refrigerator for safe keeping, before I log on.
I'm kicking around the idea of a second telecaster, specifically one with a humbucker in the neck. I'm a bit curious about the difference between mape/rosewood/ebony in the neck vs ash or alder in...
