Would those be the original pickup covers and ABR/TP ? They look so new, almost chromed?

Always sounding good.

since it's a '59 burst, i'm gonna blame the amp's EQ setting (too scooped), but that did sound poor to my ears.

InfiniteeZ · 02-11-2012, 10:05 PM

That sounds great!
Love that tone!

I agree. I've played ( and owned ) reissues that sound a lot better than that.

Sounds like a fuzz pedal or poor use of a master volume amp to me.
The clean stuff was thin.
Not a great illustration of a guitar, but the buyer isn't going to care.

I second that opinion. Maybe the strings were old, or the tube gremlins were active when the clip was recorded?

DHBucker · 02-15-2012, 07:06 PM

The mics are clipping/distorting......

ed1996 · 02-15-2012, 07:07 PM
