Thread Name: Electric guitar as a solo instrument
Subject: RE: Electric guitar as a solo instrument
One of the great things about electric guitars is just how interactive the tone and vol controls are
with vintage style treble boosters, fuzz, and valve amps...

Sadly, too many guitarists are completely ignorant of this 'old school' tonal shaping technique,
as they misguidedly keep their guitar knobs permanently on 10.

Some even boast that they never use their tone knobs,
because they "suck tone"...

I have a couple of [what should have been] very good guitars that do not have tone controls,
because the manufacturers pandered to this stupid fad.

One day I might get round to having tone knobs fitted..
