    Yeah that's pretty buttery. Is it a true single coil? Humbuckers just seem to lose that kind of tone.

    Wow that sounds great! I have a Strat with some great sounding single coils but there's been a few times I just couldn't use it from hum coming from neon signs and lights.

    My best single coils are the Bill Lawrence ones in the Kramer; just the best drivey turbo strat sound. Most people dial in way to much gain... You lose the character and nuances. Listen to the classic tones of Angus Eddie Jimi etc.. It's not that gainy. It's power tubes pushing big volts.

    I should have said 'power tubes being slammed by big volts' in post #7.

    Needs more cowbell. Or less reverb. Sounded alright to me but I'm not a guitarist. He's got the tone down pretty good.

    Thx! I ve just seen him focused on that tone for over 20 years.He nailed it but cowbell is another story.And so is songwriting.

    One of his only songs that can be said to resemble anything of a four minute popsong "Heaven Tonight" came on the iPud as I was doing cardio. I then swore at myself that I password locked it making it too much of a pain in the ass to skip

    I really don't think Kristy would like that song at all, I'll put it here for review purposes...

    From 1989, about a hundred thousand donuts ago...

    A four minute song and the guitar solo is almost a quarter of it. Halfway through at 2:38 you can actually see the only woman in the crowd(the singers girlfriend?), reach out to try and make him stop!

    Horrible. Somebody forgot to tell him he's not a rock star.

    And some people wonder how Nirvana and Pearl Jam came in and grunged everything up. That video is exhibit "A" of the death of rock...

    I mean, I think Malmsteen thought "This Is Spinal Tap" was a serious documentary and a stellar one at that...
