When Sunny Gets Blue - Jazz Ballads by Jeff Arnold - Tune #3

Yes, played acoustically, stainless steel frets sound very different, but when using a gig level loud amp, I don't hear any difference. I've had SS frets on many guitars for over 20+ years.

Anything that speaks against stainless steel frets?

For me the Deluxe reverb is the best amp ever. Cuts any gig volume wise, and the best tone, not super clean but with that slight break up. Princeton is great amp too, but not as loud so not as...

Fender Deluxe Reverb or Princeton?

Thank you for your answers! I will buy a bridge made of wood. To be honest, I'm also thinking about changing the pickups. I owned a Les Paul Custom 30 years ago and really liked the sound. What do...

Sadowsky SS15 or Jimmy Bruno

o.k., this monstrosity is on ShopGoodWill.com, not Reverb, but it meets Reverb's deceptive advertising standard. Obviously not made by Fender but the bidding price suggests that some people assume...

I agree with your sentiment, i.e., play it as written at first, you may learn something. I have been doing that, however, I will change chord voicings that are both awkward and mediocre, that is, if...

[QUOTE=Bobby Timmons;1344314]I like that southern feel to it, unique. Nicely done sir.[/QUOTE The Soul Man, thanks on nice words.

Georgia on my mind

Isn't it strange that some of us can hear the difference between SS frets and NS frets and others cannot? I am not sure if our more sensitive hearing is a blessing or a curse. If I wanted a guitar...

I'm glad I found out on a $1k tele rather than a 175. Sorry you went through that. On the tele, i changed pickups and like the guitar but it's a completely different instrument now...
