3. Have you reached "that tone" yet?
   

Ah, well now...

1. I found out some time ago that most of it's in my hands. I've been trying to assemble a rig that brings it out.
   


2. I use a pair of 1984 Yamaha SBG1000 guitars with D'Addario EJ21 strings (.012" - .052") for most of my stuff, but I have a couple of Washburn Stage Series axes set up for D'Addario EXL110 (.010" - .046") for when I want to get slinky. I found old Ampeg V-series amps have just the kind of 'forceful reality' I like, but at stupid-loud volume.
   


3. Yeah! :D Now I want to be able to produce that sound without re-arranging the atomic structure of everything within 20 feet! I'm working on that. (Relax, eggman - enjoy your Skylark!).
