  • @skrewflanders you made my day read your comment and laughed so hard couldnt stop thanks damn funny stuff

    

  • If i played with 7s theyd go --wannkkk-- at a open mic I picked up someones tele with 9s and` it was like a juicy loose wild goose

  • @swanpond14 no two guitars will play the same on the same EQ. it's actually pretty simple, almost everybody aims at their signature sound and they wanna keep it, not deteriorate it. he doesn't want to change the character, only the color. if you listen closely to their live recordings you hear that his teles have much hotter pickups than gretsches and LPs.

  • love this tech, you can see him on the texas live dvd :) what I like about guitar tech like eddie is that he's not just a cable and string boy, he's a skilled luthiers/repairmen. that bench looks like two guitar went through a fret surgery just before the interview started. :)

  • skynyrd!
