would you recommend the Indiana strat for surf? I'm currently using an Epiphone Alleykat semi-hollow. I like it, but it seems a bit too heavy and hard to pick at the tremolo. Great job man!
@45MonstersPro I don't play much surf music but "The Ventures" in the early days used a Jazzmaster and a Stratocaster. I think the Jazzmaster is more closely identified with surf and Xaviere Guitars, avaialable through guitarfetish (dot) com, has a Jazzmaster clone, the JT-100 that would be perfect. I have one of those as well and there is a YouTube clip on it as well. Take a listen. The Indiana Strat will do just fine too.
@colotron Thanks. A very good friend of mine in New Jersey refinished it for me. It was solid pink to start with but instead of a sunburst, I wanted more of a sunset and I think he pulled it off beautifully.
@colotron Actually it is a very bluish purple and he put a little metallic sparkle and a hint of pearl in the clear coats. It doesn't show up that way on video but if you get up close it is just gorgeous
Nice performance! Big fan of Surf music. I just posted a version of Perfidia myself and came across your cover - check it out if you get a chance... Great job!
@bluwng I was just messing with creating some presets on my Fender G-Dec 3 THIRTY and I used the clean tweed setting with the volume set just a little higher than the gain, a little tape slap back echo, some '63 spring reverb, a little compression and some tremolo. I'm glad you liked it.
