I'm a poor AT fanboi, have not been able to afford even the cheaper of his signature models. I may consider getting a premium version one day. I noticed that bottom horn too, looks a bit odd. I didn't like the finish on this one either.chur wrote:Unsure I like the pickguard shape around the bottom horn either. First time I saw it I thought he'd broken it somehow before realising it was intended to look like that.

have to think the coin pick contributes to the tone
Andy Timmons fanbois?

Re: Andy Timmons fanbois?
From his reply to a tone question in a comment on the FB video post:
and re: pickups, no mention of what's in the bridge...OK...here ya go: My fingers and ears plugged into my ATZ-100 prototype into a JHS modded Blues Driver (then add Xotic AT-BB preamp for heavier sections) running into Mesa Lone Star Special split into another Lone Star combo in stereo via a Strymon Timeline in the effects loop. And a bit of time on the instrument beforehand ) No money necessary...have fun!!
Seriously, reading his replies and comments it's no wonder I'm a raving fanboi. He sounds like a genuinely down to earth nice guy!Another difference is the neck pickup is actually a neck Cruiser where as in my old AT100 it's a bridge Crosier in the neck. So this new ATZ-100 is even more vintage sounding. The roasted maple neck feels incredible! Will announce officially in January

Re: Andy Timmons fanbois?
Funny, I think much the same, incredibly predictable and ultimately boring. AT's version I was just glued to his playing, closely watching chords he was using and how he was using them.slash-ed wrote:Lol not for me. As much as I love those players that kind of arrangement is just so "G3 Vai" - overstuffed and excessive and just a bit of a circle jerkwillow13 wrote:not Andy but I think this arrangement is better than Andy'sgriff7628 wrote:

The older I get, the more disappointed in myself I become.

Re: Andy Timmons fanbois?
AT's solo arrangements are indeed nothing short of mersmerising for me. There's a video on YT of his solo arrangement of While My Guitar Gently Weep, played into what looked like a little Vox battery amp. Phenomenal.Danger Mouse wrote:Funny, I think much the same, incredibly predictable and ultimately boring.

Re: Andy Timmons fanbois?
it`s just kind of played thru with minimal rehearsal, still better than the OP link imo.willow13 wrote:not Andy but I think this arrangement is better than Andy'sgriff7628 wrote:Yeah. Would like to hear the same thing from one of those Marshalls under the Boogie..TmcB wrote:What a performance!
Man I hated the tone.
I greatly dislike overdrive on Strat neck pickups so take that with a grain of salt
looks like the guy who did the lighting at the final Billy Brag aucks show did the lighting on the G3 clip
There are still some that think the neck PU is moved to accommodate the extra frets which only proves they cannot detect the difference in length of each.

Re: Andy Timmons fanbois?
Why am I still amazed by how subjective taste in music can be? Bizarre...

Re: Andy Timmons fanbois?
its such a clumsy song to cover. all the original little tricky studio created moments just make it a drag to listen to.

Re: Andy Timmons fanbois?
The G3 clip was a lot better than I was expecting - more rehearsal time could have made better still. Yngwie was surprisingly restrained for once in his lifetime, but thank jeepers they gave Nuno the main melody lines. IMO Nuno is the most credential guy there to be playing Brian May/Queen stuff.

The G3 one is cool, but not the same level. I didn’t finish it. But Nuno’s neck pickup tone sounds great!
They keep telling me tone is in the fingers, but I have yet to see a "look at my fingers" thread.

That AT video is the shizzz,
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

LOL sure, I can say that about myself too... kinda. Only applies to the amp though, certainly not the playing!
