Nice '59 Standard...hell, haven't seen/heard one that didn't deliver the goods.

Playing preferences and amp settings are subjective...his brand of delivery doesn't do anything for me, but there again it's more about the guitar than him in this clip anyhow. Personally, I'd reach back and pull the treble and mids back, dial down the Presence a touch, then run the volume up a bit and let'er holler real good....but I can appreciate this for what it is.

*edit* I'll be damned, it's "Rosie Lea"......poor thing is getting passed aroud all over(was at Fretted Americana previously). Hopefully she finds a home with someone that will do more than flip for $$$$$$.
