(Will we be hearing any Stray Cats or Brian Setzer Orchestra from the Gretsch, once you get 'er broken in?) :wink:]]> Guitar Players Discussion Blue Jay https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/my-christmas-present-better-late-than-never/paged/2/#post-345645 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/my-christmas-present-better-late-than-never/paged/2/#post-345633 Mon, 04 Jan 2010 07:58:52 +0000
I like the butterscotch look as well. I've got a poor man's butterscotch (Squire Aff). Someone gave me a set of American stock pickups that he had replace with some SDs of some sort. This this is a rocker. Well, it's actually whatever you want it to be. 8) I'm pretty certain that I did my Cash song (FPB) on it.]]> Guitar Players Discussion rparker https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/my-christmas-present-better-late-than-never/paged/2/#post-345633 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/my-christmas-present-better-late-than-never/paged/2/#post-345628 Mon, 04 Jan 2010 06:43:58 +0000

Nice gift. Thanks guys. geoo, I hope you get your's. The Texas version might be worth the extra scratch, for the pickups and ash, which I think I got by accident, so I like the old fibre and wax pickups and still think or want to believe I got ash - I see ash through the transparency and inside, and feel it too??? but I didn't get the brass saddles - I'll think about that, but why mess with the intonation again? The 3 saddles are touchy, you make compromises without compensated saddles.

So, it wasn't correctly set up anyhow, but I took it all apart carefully when I brought it home, it took 3 hours. I shimmed the neck, removed the guard (man I wish I had a new black to put on :evil: ) raised the neck pup, and raised the saddles. Hmmm.... I felt I lost a nuance of tone and sustain, couldn't be sure, but unbuttoned 'er all again removed the shim, cursed the lack of a blackguard once more, did the truss rod, lowered the saddles extremely low like low riders, holy cow!, but increased BOTH pickup heights, and now she sings, and plays eee-zee-lee. :lol:

The action is not too low, the strings sit where the middle of the finger pushes just right and bends 'em like silly. :shock: That makes a neat crying sound, since I'm not too swift on rolling a stiff volume knob, and getting swells yet.

I did a little research on Roy and studied, studied and studied the video more.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deeBQZ8Aklc also here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Buchanan Aha, so "Buchanan rarely used effects pedals, though he started using an Echoplex on A Street Called Straight (1976)." That WAS the missing link.

I HAVE his tone (thank you Lord) but not his talent (!@#$%!) and only the echo, or delay, as I said earlier, is missing. It should be all fun and all hobby, but I was taking it rather seriously, if not badly till I figured you gotta turn the treble on the amp way up, also more volume - then you work the tonal effects from the guitar. I thought it was the guitar's fault at first, for being close, but no cigar, then fixed it with the amp. That's there in Wiki, he maxed out the amp, and used subtleties on the Tele, like no other. I'm working on getting the echo or delay, but have to go, or I'll miss out on it now.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Blue Jay https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/my-christmas-present-better-late-than-never/#post-345426 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/my-christmas-present-better-late-than-never/#post-345417 Thu, 31 Dec 2009 18:34:21 +0000
