Are we listening?
In all my endevours I find people seem to follow others in their pursuit of the 'real deal'.
What i mean by that is , rather than spend time trying for themselves i find some want a 'push button' or quick way to acheive a certain goal.
In terms of guitar sound, many want to ask how to acheive their Nirvana, & to ask more learned types how you make a gibonez sound like a fribson, a fretch sound like packson.
There is no magic cure.
No pickup will do what you want.
Please do us all a favour.
Pick up your guitar.
Put your closest ear to the upper bout of your chosen weapon.
Now play your fave lick & listen with.........your ear.
Yes i said it ..........your ear ......no celestion cab or black widow............. unplugged ..........
YOUR EAR.
How does it sound ????????
Muddy?
toppy?
Too much mids?
Good, your listening. This is the info you need to continue.
Now, what is the chosen weapon's role?
OK
Go with that.
Are there things you hear that need to be kept quiet?
Do you hear things that should be emphasised?
Essentially what i ask of you is to hear what sound the chunks of wood you use sound like ACOUSTICALLY.
Only then can you embark on the trial & error path of choosing the electric conductor to send that sound to your sound reinforcment equipment.
All guitars have a sound without electrics & until you hear that guitar's sound you have no clue to help you reinforce that great sound untill you come to terms with what it sounds like acoustically.
Only then are you armed with the knowledge of how that plank sounds & how then you enhance those wonderfull characters you know are lurking inside.
