That 'humbucking' type sound at 2:00 How you getting that?

[stevespeeder]

@GeoStratocaster It's a single coil fender Custom shop 54 neck pickup.

I only use Laney's distortion from the DRIVE channel, and some effects from G-Major

Scratch that, I see the gear listed now! Impressive for sure!

[worshipking14]

This just made my day! I gotta know what kind of gear you are running through!

[MontereyKid]

I had one of these. Man it was awesome sounding like yours. Took me years to find and years more to find another. Enjoyed your playing as well. Take Care....

@GeoStratocaster i think he used the neck pick up + the middle pick up.

[sultanfswing90]

wonderful tone =) i've the same amp! I recently changed all valves with 2 el34 sovtek in power amp section, 2 mullard + 2 tungsol in the pre. Now sounds incredibly sweet!

[stevespeeder]

@stubaru No, it's medium to low action.

But there is no comparison to a flat modern neck, like the peavey wolfgang for example!!

It's not a shredders guitar with 7,5 radius. It;s more like an all around type guitar.

The american strat has a greater neck. Thinner, more comfortable, greater feel, but again not for shredding.

@stevespeeder

hmm, interesting. So are you saying currently, it's high action? Is that comfortable to play at all?

[stevespeeder]

@stubaru If i try to set for a low action, frets 12 and 13 start to fret out on full bends .

It's a thick neck that didn't suit my tastes..

[stubaru]

@stevespeeder

Hi, are all foto flames 7.5 radius? Do any frets "fret out"? When you bend really high?

Is the neck thin, medium, thick, super thick?

thanks

That's a beautiful tone man!
