Very interesting conversation and, man, what an outstanding guitarist is Richard Fortus.

@wayneh8768 Жыл бұрын

I knew he was an excellent guitarist (he out-solo'd Slash on Rocket Queen back in 2017, in Washington DC), but I didn't know he could go head to head with Tommy Emmanuel and Chet Atkins. What an intro!

Im getting the Black, Stop tailpiece, ES-335 killer. Great upgrades to the center block Falcons and at the same price. Thanks Richard Fortus & Eddie's Guitars.

Richard is playing some rockabilly Scotty Moore chicken finger picking stuff lol or hybrid picking. I love it this guy because he is the real deal. He is over all super humble guy.

Had the privilege to play and listen to the White Falcon earlier today …it’s resonating still, what a way to highlight a day! Love the insightful conversation and guitar play fellas.

This guy is incredible. I saw him live in Nashville with GNR and he absolutely killed it.

Hello mister Fortus. Good to have a new album to check out. I like his diversity.

I think Gretsch Falcon finishes come in a great selection of colors, 1/4 step step up from the first Ford Model T automobiles which you could get in any color you liked so long as it was black.

Really digging Richard's signature Gretsch, just wish they had one or two more color options...maybe a trans ebony or trans cherry

What type of magnet is he using in his pickups for these guitars?

Thinking about getting an EQ pedal, do any of you players have any recommendations?

@eddiesguitars 2 жыл бұрын

I would recommend the Boss GE-7, but honestly any EQ will work, it's just dependent on what you need to add/subtract from frequency-wise.
