Can you hear the "hollow" in an electric guitar?

Derailment, or merely a scenic route detour.....?
Anyway, the bigger the pooch, the bigger the poops.

I have often pondered as I walk our dogs, carrying a plastic bag of freshly retrieved crap:
IF there are space aliens watching, they may surmise the dogs are in charge and I am their servant.
In many ways, they have it better than I; a leisurely life where all their needs are secured and provided.
While I go off to slave and toil and errr, surf internet guitar forums all day.

I wonder how a series of changes in various factors would have effects on the 57's for Ray.

First, pickup height/ string height adjustment. 2nd, the Amps used, Speakers too. Also, room dynamics. I wonder how the 57's would sound in let's say a room 3,4,5 7 10 times the size that he is used to playing in.
since my wife has locked me in the basement, I have resorted to the use of amp settings. Actually, the "amber" (mild) OD setting on the Marshall JVM with the gain down changes the EQ to a quite pleasing and mellow tone.
 
I find the brightness in a 57 to be an asset.
I leave the neck tone wide open and the bridge tone at about 7,
the neck volume at about 4-6 and the bridge volume around 7,
then I set amps and pedals to go well with those settings.
This gives me someplace to go with both pickups.

You described something few Gibson 57 fans admit too - almost shrill brightness....
