Had a truly mind blowing experience today.
I'm visiting Denver right now and I took my rig over to Solo Act's studio today to give some acoustic guitar tone matching a try. He and I are both very picky about our acoustic tones.
I use a Taylor 9something 12 string in my show but I have many songs that need a six string. I'm a bit nervous about taking my 45 year old D35 to clubs. It's worth more than both of my cars put together! Solo has a winning lottery ticket Collings that is one of the best sounding acoustics I've ever heard. Thought we'd give it a shot.
I was expecting to get a close approximation of a clean electric guitar sort of sounding like an acoustic. Holy shitballs!
My Parker Fly now can sound just like Solo's Collings under ideal conditions. At any volume! When I close my eyes I would never in a million years believe I was listening to an electric. We have preserved the DNA of his guitar! All I hear is a wood guitar captured with a fine studio mic. There is NOTHING electric going on there at all.
I really don't know how in the hell Cliff did this. It's like I have made a perfect sample of a Steinway piano at every string, every combination of stings and every dynamic by taking a snapshot of it with an iPhone.
Holy Shitballs!
