Phil O'Keefe Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Nice job Jeff! I really like the guitar tones. What guitars did you use? What mic did you use on the mini amp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members UstadKhanAli Posted January 6, 2010 Members Share Posted January 6, 2010 It sounds good. I played guitars with Jeff once before, and he's really quite good. Anyway, excellent playing...sounds good!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jeff Leites Posted January 6, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 6, 2010 What guitars did you use? What mic did you use on the mini amp? Thanks guys The 6 string is my Carvin Bolt-T (kit), and the 12-string is a guitar I built with a USA Custom Guitars body and neck, and Carvin electronics. I used the tail humbucker pickup, split for single coil on both. The mic is a Carvin M50. If anyone is interest in hearing that tune by the Sandals (or a dozen other bands), there are a lot of videos of it on YouTube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My worry was painting it. How did you paint yours ? Any pics ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BushmasterM4 Posted January 7, 2010 Members Share Posted January 7, 2010 On the song, its pretty cool. I personally would have panned the instrument father apart. Make this tune as spacious as possible. Im also hearing some noise when the instruments peak. Gain too high ? Or is it just me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is it just me No it's not just you, I'm not using the best software or recording gear, and I'm certainly not the best recording engineer You can't listen too closely when listening to my stuff As far as refinishing the guitar goes, it can be as easy or complicated as you want. Originally, I gave it a tung oil finish, which is what they recommend for beginners. It's kind of a low sheen, woody finish. You can't really mess that up. After a while, I put some poly urethane over it to make it more shiny, but recently, I sanded it down again, and refinished it with lacquer. That's more labor intensive due to the sanding, rubbing, and buffing you get into, but it's a "labor of love" for me. I've refinished a few guitars, and I'm starting to get better at it. Here are pictures after the recent lacquer refinish: The color is more accurate in the first picture. This is a Fender Mustang clone that assembled and finished in lacquer: And this is my '64 Mustang that I refinished last summer, trying to get it back to it's original color, after refinishing it in several other colors since '68.
