    A really cool, twangy sound from that axe. I imagine the all-metal body gives it that much more brightness in tone.

  • @AncientChildVII
    @AncientChildVII 12 років тому +1

    That's Paganini's "Fifth Caprice". Never seen is played quite like this. Yngwie has a version of it, and it was part of the guitar duel at the end of the movie "Crossroads".

    Love all your vids man, can't get enough!! Hey I bought a Magnatone Troubador 213 in mint condish!! Arrives in the next few days. Question is- what speaker does your Tonemaster have? Rumour has it that its some sort of old ceramic Jensen, do you concur?? Would a Greenback be similar or should I look at a Jensen like yours?? Thanks Phil!!!!

    Even with the hollow aluminium body this strat sounds great. Maybe this shows that the body has a small influence on tone when the neck is bolted on?

    I would have loved to hear "Secret Agent Man" on this guitar and the Fender Tweed. Not sure if I could deal with the low output (what ever happened to the LPB line booster?) but it has some cool tones.

    You guys caught the crossroads thing (which I love) but it's more of a take on it. 2 octaves lower & in G instead of A so the open strings can ring out & cause that dissonance that makes some people crash their cars.

    actually it's just a regular jensen c12-R but it sounds so amazing because it's fatigued as fuck. i've put so many hours on it i've been told it could blow at any time which sucks but it's the way of the ROCK.
