Hmm, I'm not a slide player, but I think it may be a cost-effective way for me to a get a shorter scale length P90 pickup'ed guitar into my collection instead of buying an overpriced LP (decent ones are not cheap).
Surely the body of an electric guitar won't affect the sound from the amp - isn't that just down to the pick ups - unless the vibrating metal body induces an effect into the pick ups as well as the strings
No, no, no! Certain woods affect tone differently.... 1958/9 Les Paul’s are considered the best year but there are other ‘good wood’ years
The body of a guitar does affect its sound, it has potential to resonate and dampen certain frequencies. When I'm evaluating a guitar I play it unplugged to start with. If it's 'alive', I then plug it in and continue. If not, I'm not enthusiastic enough to bother. I have to be able to form a connection with it acoustically before considering pickups and amplification. Anyway, this topic is supposed to be about free oil
Have you not been a member long enough to realise that we do tend to wander off topic from time to time? I think it's an age thing.
The free oil is long gone though I have some barely used you can have. I concur with trying guitars unplugged. I had a bloke in a shop trying to persuade me all the buzzing fret rattle was part of the Fender "sound". Doh!
Many thanks for the delivery this morning @zedders - very kind of you. Will be trying it out during cold weather this winter.
