    You are definitely a throwback to the past. Sometimes simple is better. The hands are the key to great players. So true. Glad to see you carry on the tradition of players like Leslie West.

    Hey Jared ! Great tips :) May I add: 1. action height - too close might end up in outfretting and a higher action gives you better bends and sustain 2. pickup height: one should adjust it until overtones and harmonics really shine through 3. prefer a lower out put pickup rather than one that's too hot. You can always gain up, but a hot pickup might sound muddy/muffled when you want clean tones. Go Jared: you're the man ! \m/

    All you said about I made the same expierences over 50 years of playing guitar. Now my favorite guitar is a Vandenberg 1 with one Dommenget Motherbucker 20 kohm pickup, 1 volume, 1 tone and 10 t0 46 strings, perhaps 9.5 to 44. Thanks and good luck /health!

    Those double stops ring out differently when the tone is turned down, clearly tonally different. A great discussion on tone Jared. I'll agree that your hands are where it all mainly comes from.

      Jared's playing has got 'Snakeskin Cowboy' and 'Stranglehold' entrenched in his timbre 'feel' & tonal palette, you would,
      fair dinkum, have to have half-a-dozen roo's loose in ya top paddock not to hear Nugent's fingerprints all over Nichols sound.

    Can’t understand why Gibson won’t throw on a set neck with Gibson headstock and call it a day. If I’m buying a signature model I don’t want it to be an epiphone when for an extra month of saving up I can get a Gibson!! Because well bottom line is it’s a Gibson and Gibson’s are the cool! Yet they insist on releasing signatures as epiphones.

      Why have another pickup if just the one does everything you want with just two knobs? A tone knob is $15 bucks at the most. A good pickup is $75 bucks at least.
