Maybe I'm just getting senile & forgetting these threads. I'll check the mold out tomorrow & report back. I know it's there. I saw it last week.

The archie is an imposing guitar 8)
I've been recording a lot with the arch top since I got that Korg synth. (Big white box behind the keyboards).
I've been amplifying it - using Tremolo for effect. It's become part of my sound now.
But I had an interesting thing happen on a new composition this week.
I tried the arch top/tremolo on it and it just didn't work. The pick-up is a Kent Armstrong humbucker. It's fat & warm-
sounding with tremolo. But this particular composition needs a different sound. More raw - but not single-coil/solid body
raw. Just a little more edgy. And the arch top can't get there.
So I plugged the F65ce into the tremolo &
voila!
Perfect!
Now I just have to work out the part. But it's a typical thing I do. Tremolo-laden unvoiced chords guitar sliding around.
Not very impressive. But at least I know how to do it. I've used that style on two other compositions this year.
But this time - I'm not using the arch top. I'm running the F65ce through the tremolo.
