Rig: Mayer strat, Reissue Blues Deluxe, 6 ft DiMarzio cable. Mic: Shure SM57 This is my new rig and it is sweet! The guitar and amp were bought from American Musical. (They provide a year of extended warranty at no additional charge). The JM strats in Olympic White were back ordered so I had to wait a bit. But it was worth it. The guitar was FLAWLESS out of the box. I recorded three audio tracks for this video. Each in one take. Came out ok I guess. I usually do better in slow dancing in a burning room though. I left the guitar's tone and volume on 10 throughout the entire recording so you can hear the unadulterated tone. For the lead in Riviera Paradise, all I did was raise the volume on the amp a couple of notches from... like 4 to 6. The measurements I took were taken from the 15th fret. This was the standard factory action with 10s on them . This action is a little too high for my tastes. I restrung the guitar with Ernie Ball 9s and lowered the action. Now it plays perfectly. (Yes, I know thicker strings sound better but after playing with everything from 8s to 13s, I prefer 9s.) BTW, I recently discovered the awesomeness of short DiMarzio cables (they offer the best tone for the buck) and plugging straight into your amp. Awesome tone! The difference between a 6ft DiMarzio and a 25ft Spectraflex is night and day! Really.
