SOUNDS


This guitar sounds fantastic and any application that you put it in. What are you using a clean amplifier all the way of two at high gain amplifier this guitar will sound great. I think this set up with this instrument would probably be an nice Fender amplifier of some kind or a nice Marshall Plexi would be the best option for me. I like setting it to a clean setting with a good overdrive pedal out front. Use that in conjunction with a nice modulation pedal or effect pedal I can get some sweet chorus or delay sounds will go a long way with the set up. This guitar sounds best in the neck position because it really brings out the total body and tone of this instrument. It has a very brilliantly bluesy tone that sound good and pretty much any setting you put it in.
