a lot of folks want me to put this to a full band treatment,
but that's not how it was written,
not envisioned that way, so doing it any other way,
is just not being straight up about the intention.
would it work with full band..? of course.
does it work as it is...?
of course! it was designed to. that's what makes it unique.
follow your inner voice on stuff like that.
the guitar i used has quite a story:
The Williams Special is a Les Paul-Strat-Mustang-Explorer hybrid, with hollow body cavities, Mustang scale length, built like a paul with mahagony and maple top, a short tenon neck glued in, with an ebony fingerboard, mother of pearl diamond inlays, with vintage-dimension strat body, and explorer headstock.
a custom build (obviously!) i think it's pretty unique...
started out with a EMG SA assembly, that was changed to a pair of Bill Lawrence Wilde L-280's in neck and middle, with a Duncan Lil 59'r in the bridge.
folks sometimes think that the bridge pickup is moved out, but it's really the neck and middle that are moved towards the bridge, because of the scale length and the 24 frets...
it's kinda like brian may's red special that way.....
