I’m not even sure he’s a person or not but if he was I bet he’d drive either a Tesla, Juke or a VW camper van Definitely not an 'SSG', then? Quote

While I understand it is difficult to predict how the stain will take surely it's possible to do better given the price of these things? PRS & Gibson seem to be the main transgressors: Interesting point in question - if the grain pattern doesn't actually line up, why do they call it "bookmatched"?! Quote

Stub Mandrel Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago Big key changes. Tonight we will rehearse Boys of Summer. All straightforward except timing is critical with long pauses as a twiddle or two in the bridge. So it's all about tone. We've been debating... singer offered us two choices: A or E (in which case he sings an octave down). Original sounds huge in D# and even E sounds lightweight to me. I tjink A would be worst of all possible options. I want to dig my heels in for E at least. Quote
Lozz196 Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago If anything I’d drop to D if the guitarist is finding Eb awkward, as agree upping to E makes it sound a lot lighter. 1 Quote

Apparently the original was in F#, but they re-recorded it a tone and a half lower, Don Henley would agree! Quote
