Only on the first two albums.

 

he used a tele on every album i believe. He used a strat on Houses Of the Holy and Presence and In Through The Out Door. Plus his trusty black Dano made appearances all over the place. He used singles far more in the studio than HB's. He's been quoted in saying that he much preferred HB's live because of the fullness they gave, but likes the tonal control of singles in the studio.

i wuold say i changed off of humbuckers when i really got into no knife again a few years ago... their tone just floors me.

 

 

 

Totally. Between No Knife and early Death Cab for Cutie I decided it was ok to play a strat. But I think the first song I ever heard where I decided I liked the single coil tone was TV Eye from The Stooges. I played Marshalls and really high gain stuff when I was younger, so I never liked single coils with my setup. It took a sludgy song like TV Eye to convert me.

What guitar is the most closely associated with Jimmy Page? Almost everyone would say a late 50s LP standard.

right. But it's not the only guitar he used...

although i would add that a telecaster was used on the solo to Whole Lotta Love i believe.

again i know he's missing some stuff there, but he certainly used single coul guitars on more than just the first 2 albums. Whether he's associated with the Les Paul or not, it doesn't matter. The Zeppelin song i mentioned (ten years gone) was recorded and played live with single coils.

Roy Buchanan - "Soul Dressing"

I never thought I would be into a "Blues Man", but there are some people whose music transcends their genre and it hit a nerve in ways one could never expect.

When I heard first heard "Soul Dressing", I was guitar-less and was looking at an SG classic. I had just sold a telecaster and I hated that particular guitar, so I figured something beefier was what I needed.

I heard Roy and was floored. I bought a '52 RI three days later. I'm a single-coil man.
