Many of you ask at shows whether or not this is Frank's guitar. I wish I could play one of Frank's guitars at the shows but the guitars are too valuable historically to subject them to any more touring. So my Walnut SG is dressed for the occasion. It's a completely stock guitar, whereas Frank's guitars have tons of electronics built in. I love this guitar. It has been the rock and brought the rock throughout this whole project. It was actually given to me as a gift when this tour began by my good friend Charlie Boswell. Many thanks once again Charlie!
The trem does knock it out of tune. I can use mine for a little bit of slight trem but nothing too crazy. I rarely touch it to be honest. Otherwise the guitar stays in tune pretty well.
I have a VOS SG / LES PAUL that looks just like this one and it looks and plays fantastic. BUT! only once i have put the maestro trem in just the right position, tuned up and then i have to hope i don't touch it again until it goes back in its case otherwise the tuning goes out immediately. Does anyone have any tips on setting the maestro up so it can actually be touched or god forbid maybe used for very light trem duties?? I recently noticed that Dereck Trucks has removed the bar and replaced it with a normal tailpiece but left the large metal maestro tail block i'm getting to the point where this is looking to be the only option but i would much prefer to keep the maestro bar if i can make it stay in tune. Please help!!!
I noticed on a recent video from the L.A amp show you have flipped the bridge pickup round has it made a dramatic difference to the sound ?
@effett I like your Pheonix Baby Snakes SG was it made by Phantom guitars ?
Hello there :-)
What about the famous Phoenix-SG?
This is mine ... not from Phoenix, but mine ;-)
