What is it?
Some say that we, as guitarists, spend too much time looking backwards, but to me, it makes sense that we spend a lot of our time investigating tones from decades gone by. Not that there isn’t a place for modern innovations, of course, but a lot of what makes the electric guitar what it is originated throughout the ‘50s, ‘60s, and ‘70s. These tones are the basis of a lot of modern guitar sounds, so it makes sense that the gear from that era is still relevant.
