Great to hear Chris Buck get name checked here. Like Tim, his passion for all things guitar just shines thru and, like Tim, he has so little ego. His videos are there to entertain, inform and enthuse. And, like Tim, his playing is just phenomenal - each time I watch either of them, I just want to reach for me guitar and see what comes, inspired by them.

I'd suggest looking into Stuart Matthewman....his production and band leader work with all SADE's albums, the 1st 2 at least Maxwell albums, as well as his own band Sweetback with partners in SADE's band: Paul Denham and Andrew Hale ,...Is also just phenomenal high level work.

So happy to you did a video on this Tim! Ed stated when Radiohead was getting into more electronic style music (OK Computer era) he wondered what his contribution as a guitar player would be, and then had a dream of creating such a guitar and had a prototype built which became the guitar he used on tour. I was fortunate enough to get the EOB Stratocaster as my first real electric couple years back. I own a few others now but needless to say THIS is my favorite guitar! Only bad thing I can say is that it prevents you from picking up your other guitars - its that cool & fun to play!

It shouldn’t surprise me at this point, but every time there is an exceptional track from an artist that really jumps out as one of my favorites on a album.

I am suprised again and again about your guitars on so many recordings that I really love. Thank you so much. I love exactly what you played on waiting for you for years now. I mostly enjoy these kind of guitars. They support the song and the groove. The Edge has the Ed O'Brien Strat in his touring equipment for with or without you. Maybe one of the best sustainer guitars. I remember Daniel Lanois talking in a video about the first sustainer guitars he brought to the recording sessions with U2.

That is one of the best sounding strats I have heard in a very long time.... Just the standard "strat sound" is amazing... It sounds like what everyone is looking for when they are trying to get the perfect tone. Plus, I think the guitar looks amazing with the jack on the bottom of the body....

You can get Sustainiac type sustain from a normal guitar, at fairly low volumes, using some OD/Distortion pedals and being close to the speaker. I saw Jack Pearson doing it with a Bullet Squier Strat so tried it myself. I tried a couple of Tube Screamers but an EH Crayon worked best. It sustained at lower volumes than either TS. The trick is to have sustain on 10 on the guitar, but play on 7. Just bring in the 10 for sustain then back off to 7 (or wherever the sustain cuts but the volume is still good) for normal playing. I got sustain on all notes, just like a Sustainiac, and I have played Sustainiacs. Some were good and well set up, some weren't and the sustain came in late and went too loud to be useful. I don't know if it would work as well with all guitars but the Bullet Squier of the time JP was using them, and EH Crayon worked. If I ever get an EH Crayon I'll try with some of my guitars.

Hi Tim. I love your playing, such beautiful melodies in all of your fills and solos. That's always been my philosophy too. I grew up as a Duane Allman disciple and I think that's who I got it from originally He combined beauty, power and all his solos were stories. They had intros, a body, a climax and an ending. I hear a lot of that in your playing and with such beauty. I just watched the Ed O'brien link. It looks like your guitar neck is hanging on the wall in the Fender prototype shop. Have you noticed that?
