"Stay"

this is a new arrangement of this tune i'm working up.....
please let me know if this translates smoothly or not on your system

It's a funky rock thing.. laid back, kinda trippy...
the headphone mix is fun


think the low end might be too strong, or at least the bass track

i have a download link for the full wav file...
sounds WAY better than the crappy streaming...

the strat I used for this recording,
is purely one of a kind, a custom build:

The Williams Special is a Les Paul-Strat-Mustang-Explorer hybrid, with hollow body cavities, Mustang scale length, built like a paul with mahagony and maple top, with vintage-dimension strat body, explorer headstock.

a custom build (obviously!) i think it's pretty unique...

started out with a EMG SA assembly, that was changed to a pair of Wilde L-280's in neck and middle, with a duncan Lil 59'r in the bridge.

folks sometimes think that the bridge pickup is moved out, but it's really the neck and middle that are moved towards the bridge, because of the scale length and the 24 frets...
it's kinda like brian may's red special that way.....


if you are interested in HARD SPECS, i can post those as well.

Diggit! There's nothing like getting ALL the ingredients right on a custom build .

well, all that matters really, is how it sounds.

also an interesting recording note...

all of the guitars were recorded thru a POD XT direct.

my only NON boogie recording to date!
