    Public service shout out

    You're my hero! 1964 was the best year that I ever heard - there's just something about them. Had one and had to sell it ten years ago . . . The point is that amps and sound is a very subjective topic. If you can hear the difference, then you're going to do whatever it takes to get the sound...

    what brand amp??

    Buy a Boogie - live happily ever after. Problem is, it depends on the guitar(s) you're using and what you're playing. For example, a Boogie and a Les Paul probably isn't going to get you the kind of sound that you would want in a classic country band where you're playing Albert Lee licks all...

    Guitar Center Vintage Room experts

    Post some pictures of it here and I'll try and help you identify it. As for the GC Vintage experts - I was in the Hollywood store and holding a 1956 Les Paul Custom that had OBVIOUSLY been refinished. They swore that it was original paint. You could even see where the binding had been messed...

    Overrated Guitarists

    Slash. If he was twice as good as he is, he'd still be way overated. He could start by learning to tune the instrument. Brian May. The cool man himself. Not really my cup of joe, but tasteful all the time (well, almost)

    "controlling" feedback

    If you like the sound, check out Peter Green on 'The Supernatural' on John Mayall's 'Hard Road' Album from 1966 (or was it 1967?). Pretty amazing at the time - if you think that the Beatles were the biggest thing around when he did it. foo

    Does Les Paul tone get any better than this?

    For this type of sound I would have to go with the Reverend Billy Gibbons on Blue Jean Blues. But there is one Atlanta Rhythm Section tune with a line that goes something like 'listen to them Gibson's squall' which is 'muy chilo'

    Eric Clapton: 2nd best guitarist in Dublin OH

    I missed it. But when he showed up in Mayall's band, it was like Hendrix opening for the Beach Boys - major shock waves. Never heard anything like it before - only Keith Richard playing Jimmy Reed's licks on Rolling Stones #1 and #2
