| Gibson Playing Clean - Tone Tips |
|
| One of the things that players love most about Gibson guitars is that they yield a hot, fat, full-throated sound when compared to so many other makes and models. Whether your Gibson has PAF-style alnico humbuckers, hotter buckers like the ceramic 500T, or P-90 single coils, chances are it packs a bigger punch than most other instruments out there with inferior humbuckers or thinner single-coil pickups. Plug your Les Paul, SG Special, ES-335, or Flying V straight into a vintage-style tube amp, crank it up, and wail. Its the way the blues, classic rock, and even heavy metal were born. |
