First off, sorry for hijackin' this thread, but you'll probably throw rocks at this one. :>(
When I'm not fixin' an old tractor, I can usually be found out in the garage dinkin' around with a guitar.
However, unlike the tractors, sometimes things just don't go right. Been at this since I was 5 years old and there are nights when I just plain couldn't hit my rear with a ball bat. :>(
Anyway, on with my sad story. :>)
I bought this darned guitar off of ebay; think I gave something like $150 for it. A genuine Fender Strat (Why so cheap? Made in Mexico?)..............supposedly a good one.
Wrong!
I've done everything to it I can think of. Replaced the neck, replaced the pots, installed a set of Gold Lace sensors, even installed a set of graphite saddles. I hot-rodded the darned thing and I still cannot get the proper tone out of this rascal. Just can't seem to get it "warm".
It's harsh, it's brash and the sustain just simply sux. :>(
Am totally convinced the body must be made from a chunk of white pine cut from a Mexican bridge plank 'er somethin'. :>(
Anyhoo, recorded this song a couple of years ago and have never picked that guitar up again. Just can't stand the sound of it!
Beware: It's in yer face and ya need to turn down the volume.
