Hi Mark and welcome to the Forum,

This message from David Grant was, in fact the last one he posted on the forum. If you want to contact him click on his e-mail link to send him a private message and, assuming he is still using the same e-mail address from 3 years ago, you can let him know your interest as it is unlikely he will see it here.

Good luck,

Roger

Happy NGD and birthday, I too love my 12er and although she is 40 odd years old I have no problem keeping her in tune at normal tuning.

I am sure she will give you hours of pleasure.

When the Shadows were at their peak things were vastly different than today.

There were just two types of strings available, wire wound strings for acoustic guitar and tape wound for electric. There was no such thing as different gauges of string and they were all quite heavy, so bending of strings was not possible and the tremlo arm was used for this effect.

Tape wound strings give a much mellower tone than wire wound and you can slide up the strings without making the normal screech that wire wound do.

I have been told, but I cannot confirm that this is true, that Hank always picked his strings in an upward direction to give him a unique sound.

The point I am trying to make is that if you do want an authentic Hank sound then iyou need to look deeper than amp settings. I hope you get there.
