RTs got to be one of the worlds best guitarists, he`s got it all , as a player and song writer, the last 2 albums I`ve got of his have been fantastic .

I used to use my tube screamer as a boost pedal/volume pedal going thru a hi gain marshall, it defineately seemed to compliment the  the amp , the prices on ebay for the green machines seem to speak for themselves , and of course sat in a lynx all day the subtle sounds of a Fender may not get thru the Dave Clarks .

Yeah the Stones were definitely were at their peak with Mick Taylor , I love Denny Dias on Steely Dan`s Bohdisattva , and the prog rock vibe is generally not my bag so to speak , but it really is superb .

Hi Fred , i guess what has happened is one of your  internal wires has turned itself into an aerial receiver , these vhf signals/noise should have been earthed or screened out , if it`s still under warranty don`t touch it as Gse says , but it is an interesting problem indeed .

In no particular order mine today are
Steve Cropper
Denny Dias  if only for Bodhisattva
Kelly Joe Phelps
Neil Young
Jimmy Page

Even easier Dave Hill from Slade`s Super Yob , who could fail to be impressed by the Brummie barnet`s axe slaying all before .

Cytania , I think it was the Clash knocking out Londons Calling that first fired my imagination to own a Tele , but in between me getting one , mainly due to finances I`d gone thru a fair few cheaper guitars i guess like most kids starting out . I sold my first car and bought an Epi Sheraton in the backend of the eighties [which I`m about to sell due to lack of use], I finally splashed out on a brand new  `92 Tele with lace sensor pickups which I was a bit disapointed with and sold fairly quickly .My wife left me in a pub so she could do some shopping, some months later so i nipped over the road and bought this hideous coloured Tele , like Rick Parfitt said 'if it had legs I`d shag it ' . But to go back to another thread Phil wrote, buying into an image or an expensive guitar can give you the impetus to pick it up and practice every day, I know i do with my Martin and in turn will only make me a better player .

I wish i could do the paste thing , but come on Shredfied its all about image , well 90% is . We must be genetically predisposed to certain guitar types. Am i going to buy a bc rich because i like it`s fantastic tone or playability , am i F**** i`d look a dick .

Strats are for girls get a man`s guitar and I`m not talking about a Les Paul log , I`ve had a Tele for years and it has been said to make me look quite appealing , which is saying summat .

I gave all my effects away bar a tubescreamer and bought a marshall hi gain , now what could be better than that .

Thanks for the replies guys. The Guild`s as previously mentioned an electro acoustic with a Fishman transducer in the body  .I`m curious how it can be flat in this particular spot , I don`t play it much these days which is a shame .
