Still haven’t thought of a name for this guitar yet. Might call her “Smokey” as she bears a tobacco sunburst finish. I’ll think of something. In any case, awhile ago, I wrote a song called “Strutter” that featured a couple of guitars and amps: My CV Tele and Gibson Nighthawk Re-issue; and my Aracom PLX18 BB and Aracom VRX22 amps. Out of curiosity, I wanted to see how the song would sound with just the ’59 replica and a single amp, my PLX18 BB.
So I made a copy of the original Logic project, and proceeded to record both guitar parts as a test. Well, as these things go, I ended up re-recording the entire song using just the ’59 – it sounded so freakin’ fantastic. Here’s the song:
The verses are played in the neck position of the ’59, while the refrains are played in the bridge. The contrast between the two pickups is incredible. I had the amp absolutely cranked, but because the pups are not really high gain, they drive the amp nicely, but maintain a real smooth texture. What a combo!
“Smokey” is so purdy!
I like how you switch the pickup selection between the verses and refrains, the contrast of the 2 pickups do compliment each other well. Each being very smooth.
The sum of the guitar, amp, speakers, plus your playing technique adds up to awesome tone on this one.
I am big fan of your work and this is your best piece yet.
Excellent work Goofydawg!
