The man with the funny guitar

Its no secret that I'm into the weird stuff. Um...guitar wise, that is. Brands that aren't around anymore, baritone guitars, funny shaped guitars (except for the flying V. Never could get into that one), slide guitars, etc. But what's astonishing is that these guitars always end up being the ones that play the best (except for the Fender Jaguar. That's just a freaking toy).

So, I busted out my weird blue monstrosity today, plugged it in, and tried to recreate the tones that the pros get on some of there songs. And you know what? I came pretty darn close, too. The tonal versatility on my Switch is surprising. Almost as surprising as me never having played with it before.

Ol' Blue has three single coil pick-ups and a five-way pick-up switch. That plus my Fender Frontmen's options actually opened up my tonal options as well. The reason I'm excited is because after I get my Epi Nighthawk (which has 9 different tones to select from utilizing a mini humbucker, a full humbucker, and a single coil pick up) I'll just need a slightly better amp (i need more wattage) to get just about any sound from my "rig" that I could want.

In other news, I've been asked to fill in for our local praise and worship band until they can find a new guitarist. I need a delay pedal...
