This is a little clip recorded last Friday night. It's the second solo from 'Comfortably Numb' played on my Orville Les Paul fitted with a calibrated pair of Mule Humbuckers. The bass player is one of my best mates and the soloist is his 17 yr old son Luke!

Out of interest, what was the amp/pedals used in this clip?

Great looking Orville too. Did you know it's a Photo Flame????

Very nice tone - ditto the request for the details of the signal chain.

Mark.

The guitar straight into a Roland Micro Cube then DI'd via an Edirol UA-4FX and recorded using Cubase SX3 on a Sony Vaio laptop. The drums generated using XLN Audio's Addictive Drums

Errm, sorry to doubt you, but when I bought it it had a huge chip out of the lacquer on the edge of the top and you could see the maple clearly underneath. My luthier repaired it and did a superb job!

Welcome Treefella, hope you dont pay too much attention to the natives..... :lol:

The top is maple and has a very nice fotoflame trick done to it, sounds just like the 'real' thing though, most 90's MIJ flame guitars were like that.

Dont mind TF too much though, hes just found out his Les Pauls are basswood, which is quite embaressing after bragging about them here..... :oops:

:twisted:

Well Indy, the japanese just make as much as possible with any wood they can get cheap enough. If theyr out of 'asian' mahagony they just keep on building with whatever is available, they even used to stain basswood.

Then there is still the process of selecting proper tonewoods and maching them together, which any luthier will agree on more or less, is not something of a mayor consearn to the japanese.

This doesnt mean the guitar is bad, just that there is alot of sample difference and its hard to pick one thats good. For that matter, basswood is an excellent kind of tonewood, im not saying that.

And by the way, i cant know if one of TF's guitars is basswood obviously, i was just trying to be a wannabe barsteward. Kind of failed at that didnt i? :oops:
