What attenuator do you use, Siamese?
My theory is that it is not rolled fret edges that are the problem, but a wider bridge. I first noticed the high E falling off the fretboard when...
If you went with a Rat, which would be the best one to get?
9.5s are a nice compromise and a counter to incipient arthritis. When I saw BB back in the 80s and 90s, he seemed to break a string at some...
I'm using an Avatar speaker made about 10 years ago. It has a Vintage 30 in it.
Thanks so much guys. Sounds like there are two options here: another overdrive pedal or a Rat. Two questions: Do you see these as...
I have a home build amp that has a Deluxe Reverb like circuit. I can get a great overdrive sound with the amp cranked and/or with my OD-9. I...
Yes, sounds like semi-hollow Gibson to me.
David Collins at Ann Arbor Guitars does great work and explains things well.
Jesse Ed Davis.
I use a Maxon OD 9, which has the original TS chip, but unlike that pedal, has true bypass. I really like its sound through my home build amp,...
Where JCBurke59 cut the lips is what I want, especially on the treble side. A little more picking room, but with a really good hand rest still in...
"Beefy twang." Well said. That's been my experience with the Special. Very good for all kinds of rock sounds. (I did have the frets taken...
Sweet! What setting do you use on your Pickup Booster?
I have an Am Special, which I chose over the Am Standard for the pickups and, a little, the price. Tonally, I love it. There have been two...
Thanks, guys. I've been playing electric for 20 years, but never had a guitar (Am. Special) that resonates like this. But from what you're...
I love Robbie Robertson's playing in general. So funky and all his own. But I have to say, I'm not crazy about his tone in The Last Waltz. For...
To clarify, I'm not necessarily playing any A notes when this happens. It could be any three note arpeggio on the first three strings, anywhere...
Hi all, I usually play in the higher registers in my band and I've noticed that unplayed lower, wound strings are ringing out in some kind of...
I've also got a Maxon OD 9. It's the original Tube Screamer circuit, made by the the original contractors for Ibanez. I also use a Hot Plate to...
I love the sound of mine, which I've had since May. I like the pickups, both bridge and neck. I changed the black pick guard on my Oly white to...
Yes I get this some, but with my Am Special. In 20 years of playing mostly a Strat and more lately a PRS SE, I never had the problem. The top E...
If the frets are currently "jumbo," what size can they realistically be reduced to? Also, do you guys have a sense of what a fair price for...
I'm looking for some advice. I have a new-this-summer American Special that I bought after demoing a lot of Teles. Ultimately, the Special had...
One nice thing about the tele that's arguably a forgiving feature is that the low notes sound tight and articulate. Sometimes they sound flabby...
