    H.E.R. Guitar at Halftime

    Did anyone else start drooling at the sight of that red strat H.E.R. played during the halftime show? I’m a sucker for matching headstocks on a strat and that one was a gorgeous color red. Wonder if Fender will release it as her next signature model?

    What non tube amp do you still love, own or lust over?

    A Peavey Bandit 65. Had two channels and a nice analog spring reverb. Was a great pedal platform. Built like a tank! it was my first amp back in 1983 I think. My H1 fender bullet strat sounded so good…could go from glassy cleans to EVH and beyond. Very versatile. Also miss my boss...

    PRS Advice

    I started playing guitar in the early 80s and didn’t discover PRS until about six or seven years ago, about the time John Mayer started working with Paul on amps and guitars. Since then, I’ve picked up a Zach Myers model, a USA Silver Sky, a DGT and a single cut McCarty 594. I love playing...

    Low vs High Output Pickups

    I do almost the same but use Input Trim on the Tone Tab of the Amp Block. I set it to 1 for humbucker guitars and about 1.6 for single coils.

    Fender Aerodyne

    The pickups are fairly well balanced in my opinion, of course the humbucker is a bit beefier and will drive the signal more than the single coils. I spend most of my time using either the humbucker or the neck pickups and they are well balanced. I have the dolphin gray one with a rosewood...
