Members ScreamCage Posted March 28, 2006 Members Share Posted March 28, 2006 I wouldn't say that it has to be a strat (that's like saying you have to have a Plexi to sound like ACDC. Not true, and only said by wankers), just something with medium heat singles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tocs100 Posted March 28, 2006 Members Share Posted March 28, 2006 I would say to just be happy with YOUR impression of the song. Gilmour's one of the top 10 gear sluts/tone masters of all time; and if only a few pro Hendrix imitators could come close, the case is probably the same here. BTW: I saw a Roger Waters concert (c. 2001?) where his twin guitarists traded the "Numb" solo: one had a Strat, and the other a Les Paul. There tones were quite different (from each other AND Gilmour), but equally brilliant. And yes, a good, long delay really helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members autopilot Posted March 28, 2006 Members Share Posted March 28, 2006 i'd say a guitar with P90, or strat with subtle compression + dealy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mightysasquatch Posted March 28, 2006 Members Share Posted March 28, 2006 Gilmour used a P-90 loaded Les Paul Goldtop for the solo, so a Strat won't sound the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jonny guitar Posted March 28, 2006 Members Share Posted March 28, 2006 Call me crazy but I can get really close with the middle position on a tele into light comp into fuzz (guitar volume rolled to 8-9) into delay into overdriven amp. I belive that much of his tone come from his vibrato and playing style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
