It's the holiday eve. Time to unwind & spin a movie. But before that, time to reflect on these two which had been my preoccupation the week before.
Despite the different pickups in there, I could easily employ either instrument for both distortion & smooth drive applications. Let not the physical outlines & different pickup brands make us re-think our intentions when it comes to tone. The guitar with whatever pickups installed is merely part of our entire signal chain. The outcome, more often than not, is more important than the implements. Nobody told Albert King not to strut his Gibson Flying V for the blues. Euronymous got by his brand of black metal toting a Les Paul for good measure. I think we tend to overthink sometimes. Instead of devoting time & effort to ability & tone, we get caught up with fashionable implements. On this note, it should be my working philosophy for 2019 but we have about a week to refine our expectations, resolutions & what not.
Wishing everyone a good holiday ahead. Stop working already, wind down & let loose. Cheers! 🍻
