No, I do find this a very relevant and interesting topic, sorry to
give that false impression. I would much rather talk about this than
80's shred metal, old blues guys, etc. At least on this group.
I guess I'm just not on board with your analysis of his wound G. He
says he used a plain G, and he knew how Fender made their own strings
(they made their own core wire and wrapped it themselves). Dick isn't
known for bendy style guitar, but he can bend those heavy strings when
he wants to.
IMHO of course. But I would like to hear why you think he's using a
plain G. I guess I just can't tell the difference. And I'm old. ;-)
