No twang here!!! It sounds close to the Live at Leeds tone (Townshend) with the P90's.....The bridge pickup is biting and clear.....nice thru tube amp.....This video is OLD!!! The guitar had the stock humbuckers I think back then.......I changed out the pickups to P90's a while ago.

[w1av]

This tune is just a mindless, simple EASY 12 bar blues finger pickin' thing. It's nice of ya'll to say its cool but it is nuthin' really....

[w1av]

I just got an Xaviere XV-820 and had it all re worked with NEW RIO GRANDE "dirty harry" P90 style pickups, #10 strings and set up, and this guitar sounds beautiful.....The other guy is right when he says Tele's have the cleanest sound...they are great guitars and I will post a new video of me playin' my modified Tele soon. I like the Tele slightly overdriven sometimes but the CLEAN tone is NICE!

Finally!!! someone playing something OTHER than freakin AC/DC on an SG!!!!

[w1av]

@greenfish88 Hahahaha....I have a BUNCH of BETTER guitar videos on here...why the hell does everyone comment on THIS one? I am just NOODLING around and not playing anything of significance! Why does this video have 40,000+ views, and my BETTER ones have no where near as much???? OH, I hear ya on the acdc too......

Would you prefer a Standard over the Faded? Cause i'm thinking of buying one of them. I now prefer the Standard, but what's your opinion?

[w1av]

@Swifty2893

Well if you have the BIG BUCKS to spend on a Standard, but they are only cosmetically better....the Special and Standard have the same electronics as I recall. I bought my Special on sale for $585 back in 2007. I mostly record and I found that the stock humbuckers were too heavy/bassy/thick for my liking. So a couple months ago I had a set of GFS Mean 90 P90's installed and the guitar sounds 100% better. I also have them in my Les Paul as well as my 2 SG juniors...

[w1av]

What get's me is someone who spends $1200+ on a nice guitar, only to RUIN it's natural beauty by DISTORTING the sound to the point where it no longer sounds like a guitar. I say to those morons, go buy a Squire to do that.  A little overdrive is cool, but thats as far as I go.

@greenfish88 whoa dude... u hatin on angus?

[woodstock018]

[Kreason95]

@w1av dude something can be cool even if it isn't super hard, I've been able to play 12 bar blues stuff since I was in like 5th grade but I still play it cause it sounds cool
