It is rare and do not ever get rid of it. I have the 2 pick-up version but I've had mine since 1978. I want to have that guitar buried with me I think clothes might be optional but not that guitar. If you do get rid of it tell me and I'll gladly give you whatever you want. How's that sound. Take it easy, man.
I do like that guitar and the sound of it. What year is it? Were did you find the three pick-up configuration? They probably only put very few in production.
I'm sure Ronson played the D as a bar chord at the fifth fret and used his little finger to do the 'diddle - diddle -dee- daa' bit. It sounds a lot stronger if you play it that way, certainly.
sweet guitar and good cover...just advice...o.k. tone just not for this song... and just more feeling with your picking hand thats where your sound is really going to come from....especially with tubes my friend.
nice version !! i think you should use less distortion and when you do the chorus part i think it sounds better with no palm muting,when you are playing E chord you missed harmonics
Freddie have you checked Ziggy Stardust by "Bauhaus"???I will bet you will be interested in the way Daniel Ash plays it too.Let me know what you think.Nice job by the way!
Damn, I thought so - I'd sell my soul for one of those. They're really really nice. Congrats - hope you get lots of pleasure from it - I'm green with envy
Freddie, you're great ! :D

smradusha 2 years ago 2
actually it's not overdistorted. it's just the wrong type of distortion. this doesn't quite sound like the nasty fuzz pedal Ronson used.
AC/DC use far less distortion than you might imagine. it's mostly just a light Marshall crunch..
