    I was literally watching jimi play this last night. And really puts into perspective how gorgeous it truly is. The control he had over every sound coming from that guitar was unreal.

      A story that's been told repeated by several ppl- as well as confirmed by some of the ppl there is that one of the great blues guitarists of the day said when he met Jimmi he was playing in this little back room at a studio and he was so intimidated by the sounds Hendrix was getting out of his simple Strat/tube amp setup that he not only refused to even get his guitar out, he stopped playing for almost a year. I can't remember the guitarist, but I remember he was really good- and he did play again and go on to do great things but- apparently meeting Jimmi really shook him up. One reason I believe it is because I can relate to that feeling so well, I've run into ppl that just blew me away and it made me feel the same way- like a complete failure and a fool. It gets easier as you get older though and start letting go of the ego- still sucks though. It will never be easy to run into someone half your age, been playing maybe a 3rd as long as you- and they can just light you up. But that's the way it works- some ppl just have a natural inclination towards it- and others, like me- have to work ourselves to death to even get close to them.

      it's super innovative, but, the context of it is also what makes it so great, early morning on the last day of Woodstock, the sun is coming up! A Rude awakening to let the semi-conscious masses know the trip is almost over, the weekend Utopia was great while it lasted, but the wheels of the Global Military-Industrial-Defense Complex can't be bothered with flowered headbands, free love, and inner happiness. The gears continue to turn and the Wheels spin on, trampling everything in their path, destroying allies and enemies alike.

Is that what you would recommend for this wah or had you messed with the pots on the inside if so how?
