Wanted Jethro Rockers 70's Deluxe Gold Top

Jethro Rocker said:
Well, I do get articulation with many of my others, amp settings dependent. I would have to change gain on amp at minimum every time I used that axe because of the nature of the low output on those PUps.
I can set an amp how I like, strum any guitar and get a heavy long lasting sustained distortion. Play that and it may fade out to cleaner relatively quickly which is not my thing.
I do not cover songs as they sound, I set my own thing and do it.
That said there are some songs that require less balls than others and this would suit, if I have more output than required seems easier to back off gain than to have to goose it all the time.
Will see what new PUp sounds like. I already got it so might as well use it.
Ace Frehley started on a 73 Deluxe and promptly put full size HB in. Different strokes...

I was not commenting or critiquing your tone, style,or playing at all good sir! You are awesome.! Everyone wants/needs different gear to do what they do. My way of thinking is that I like different guitars to do various sounds. Sometimes I want a low output kinda thang. YMMV I certainly was not taking a shot at ya or your music bro!!

Oh I get that. Sorry if I came across that way, I didn't mean to!
Different guitars for different sounds indeed! Even with hotter output these will sound unique for my arsenal.
But low output never appealed to me. I have coil taps on a few of my guitars as required and can still use full HB too. Versatile. The Godins also have a piezo in bridge for extremely convincing acoustic sounds.
So this guitar will have less output and more high end than others but I do not want it to be anemic. I want to be able to adjust amp gain to get different ish tones and not be crippled by a very low output guitar.

The example above has too much high end, partly FOH and partly the camcorder mic. On stage sounded heavier.
