Rig Rundown: Cory Wong
Рет қаралды 196,033
Күн бұрынHey, what’s happenin’ people?!!! For Cory Wong, who kicks off episodes of his Wong Notes podcast with that question, the answer is he’s currently deep into an international tour-while still recording new episodes, writing music, and producing. But that didn’t stop the prodigious, prolific picker from taking the time during a recent stop at Nashville’s Brooklyn Bowl to guide us through his rig. By the way, the new season of Wong Notes begins March 9 with a big-deal guest, so stay tuned.

So those guitars with no headstock have absolutely no sustain if a little more headstock adds a little more sustain. It is so so guitarded!!! Don’t believe anything you see. Specially those who sell stuff.
@ileutur6863 2 жыл бұрын
@@Otis-Isom nobody is denying that Cory is on another level compared to basically everybody here, but guitar players still believe a lot of stuff. Hell, even guitar builders who are intimately familiar with how wood works still believe a lot of stuff that isn't physically possible. I guess it just part of the mentality, no use in disproving it every time
@Otis-Isom 2 жыл бұрын
@@ileutur6863 I think it’s fair to say that the actual transient is probably imperceptibility different but the way the body resonates and how the note feels to play may be different leading to the effect he discusses. If the note feels different it’s played differently. The extent to which it’s different is debatable and I tend to heir on the side of caution when it comes to marketing and mystique but I could definitely see there being a feel thing for Cory.

Great interview, really enjoyed it. Interesting Cory and Fender going for the same line as PRS and John Mayer “I can go into a shop and get a guitar and it’s the same as any of mine and I’d be happy to gig it” type of quality claim. I love my Fender EJ strat but it’s too obvious to be now using the same message as PRS.
