RE Birdlands:

Neat old guitars... big and funky. Feedback monsters, though..

I’ll stick with my American Strat and my two Ibanez RG550s (one black with maple neck, the other white with rosewood neck).

Jacksons are sweet too... what do you run it through, a Marshall?

I have an old Mesa Boogie Mark III head and twin cabinet, plus a Marshall 40 watt that I use for the pre-amp out, slaved through the Mesa. Crushing sound...

“Stranglehold” sounds great on it... same with “Cat Scratch Fever”.

Indeed, just so... MG50DFX.

Plenty of kick for what I use it for. Got some effects pedals
and a harmony machine that I used in the past, but the Marshall
doesn't need any of that mess.

Obligatory blurry pic:

I had a cheap Squier Strat back in the day.. it was good to learn on but nowhere near as nice as a real Strat.

Also had an Ibanez bass.. lightweight but killer action.

The lack of density hindered sustain, though...

Dang...if I'd just read a little further, I'd have had the answer already.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
