Soloway Guitars ... The Schizophrenic Spalted Gosling

I played this on a new Soloway Gosling with a schizophrenic one-piece maple top. It's equipped with a pair of DiMarzio PAF 36th Anniversary pickups and I was running through the new Headstrong Lil' King Junior amplifier.

The song is a medley of an original harmonic that wrote a few years ago morphing into a heavily rearranged version of Neil Sedaka's Breaking Up Is Hard To Do. The intro only feels like it's going to last forever, but it does eventually get to where it's going.

If you'd like more information on our guitars or the Headstrong Lil' King Junior amplifier, go to www.solowayguitars.com and thanks for watching.

Thank you for playing clean. 99.999999% of YouTube video are USELESS for tone comparisons because they are buried under distortion! It's like demonstrating a Ferrari by driving it into a swamp!

How do these DiMarzios sound in terms of complexity on the dual and bridge position?

[solowayguitars]

@CommanderComma I like these pickups a lot for all three positions. If you go to the gallery on our site, there's a a link to a clip where I play a single passage through the neck, then middle and finally bridge. It maintains its warmth all the way through, while increasing the bite and clarity.

Great videos! You have awesome tone! The only thing I'd suggest so far (and I haven't seen all the videos so I don't know if you do this) is to try and show some overdriven sounds. I'll keep looking. Love the videos and the sounds so far!

@GuillermoSmyser Thanks for this and the other nice comments. The reason I don't post overdriven sounds is because I really don't play very well with over drive. There are several examples on our site though being played by other players.

These really aren't jazz guitars. That limitation is strictly in my playing, not the instruments. :)

JIm...I assume this is the gosling...is it a 25 or 27 " scale?

Beautiful playing & tone. Now I'm going to take a long nap.

Gotta throw in 2 cents worth. WOW - you play very well and the sound is - well, I would say to die for but then I couldn't hear you - in a word, great! Looking for a new guitar and I'm gonna look at yours.
