I must listen again with a bit of distance between me and the sounds. It's an interesting thought though. I saw John Mayall's band with Mick Taylor back in 1969 and I remember thinking that the guitar sounded exactly like a saxophone (Les Paul through a Marshal). Thanks so much for the visit and the comment. I really appreciate it.

I hope you're well or getting well or even better than that. The pedal is great but I did feel I had to keep a lid on it a bit. The output level control was on the equivalent of about '1' but thankfully it does respond well to pick attack. It's fun anyway and that's the main thing 😊

Wow, great tones from the Squier. I was thinking you only played high end stuff. Is it stock?
@PaulMcCaffreyfmac25 күн бұрын
The Squier Esquire is completely stock. I have a Squier Thinline Tele as well which is stock apart from the neck pickup which for some reason was awful so I changed it for a Twisted Tele which works fine. I certainly have too many guitars but I'm interested that your impression is that it's high-end stuff. My old Strat was bought in 1969 and lots of stuff has been changed so that's far from a collectors piece. The only Custom Shop guitar I own (from Gibson or Fender) is the Strat I bought in 2001 when I was made redundant. It's in the last video or the one before that. Fender-wise I'm very partial to Fender Mexico made guitars and the Hendrix Strat is a good guitar by any standards. I suppose the guitars I have that fit most easily into the high-end category might be the National Duolian Polychrome and a Yairi NY0021, both bought second hand. Sorry! I think I might've got a bit defensive there and gone on a bit 😄 I do appreciate your visit and your comment and if you are thinking of a Squier Esquire, the only bad thing I can say about Squier as a brand is that they vary in weight more than Fenders so try before you buy if you can. Cheers.

@@PaulMcCaffreyfmac Hehe, for some reason I thought you had more Custom Shop stuff. My mistake!🤷♂️ I have a 40th Anniversary Squier Strat that I bought a year or two ago.

The last government with stupid brexit and bad ministers have spent too long blaming 'foreigners' and the country is not the same as it was 2010. All we can do is be as good as we can and remember that there are nasty people everywhere, but more nice people.
