Can everyone on earth all agree…*best clean guitar*

[skoora]

SRV had a nice clean tone. Dick Dale had a pretty cool clean tone. Hank Marvin tone. Where is @Thumbpicker wit duh Chet Atkins? Link Wray had a good clean tone:


But real clean tone is made out of steel guitar.

Hmmm….all those beautiful tones made before James Tyler guitars existed..

Yeah and any number of jazz guitarists as well. Most of them play clean.

Wicked Game is an awesome tune and love the guitar.

I’m testing an amp or trying to get a good clean sound through it, I’ll always play the intro to Killer Of Giants and compare to what I remember the song sounding like. That is always a good clean tone baseline I use.

I love a great clean tone. I’ll always have a BF Fender.

IIRC this was straight into the board or similar.

I thought about the pathway to the cleanest purest tone. A steel guitar shaped like a JAMES TYLER headstock. Am I on to something? I think so...

I remember how surprised I was when Plant’s solo album first came out. Full on expecting it to rock and it’s the complete opposite, super clean. But it grew on you and I eventually really dug it.

This one gets my vote.

Tragic the way he died.

Indeed. Extremely-sad IMHO.

That’s one of the best songs ever and the chick in the video is ridiculously hot, everything about that song is a masterpiece

 

[Hiwatts-n-Gibsons]

This gives it a run for its money though..

If we're going Floyd, then this gets my vote...



Or maybe this...

Kinda why I got that Tricerachorus - to cover Jet City Woman. I'll add that the dirty guitar tones on that album are as good as it gets

although i gotta say, hearing him live with that rig during the ah via musicom era was next level 3-D.
