DAn Elweines guide to guitar repair had it in there. Plus super glue is a well coagulant if you wanna stop bleeding in minor cuts fast. Lotsa people use it if u have a purpose to do it.

While you're at it, pull out the first 12AX7A (7025) preamp tube and replace it with a 5751. You get a little less gain, and a little more headroom before distorting. That was part of his smooth sound.

But let the superglue dry off first...

I have to say that when I read it in one article I kinda thought that it was a little exaggerated.. but then I read one about Doyle Bramhall and he said the same of Stevie... then I read one on BB King and he had something to say about that too...

He would get deep ruts and cuts in his finger tips from the string gauge and his hands being as strong as they were. In the Bramhall interview he said something to the effect of him putting something in with the glue so he could play the next night... I wanna say sawdust but I'm not sure... but the glue thing is real.

I really want to play like srv . its not important to have the effects he uses but the skilld he achieve. is anyone who have some exercises or srv pls do send me some tabs i want to have strong fings.. thanks

the difference with a ts 808 and 9 is only a counple of capacitors and resistors. i saw i think only 2 parts. at the end of the line i think just increase some values of your caps and resistor and presto an 808 hehehe

In a recent mag there was a interview with some fender custom shop luthiers (guitar builders) who actually got permission by Jimmie Vaughan (stevie rays vaughans brother) to remove his guitar from its vault, take it to pieces, take photo's then rebuild it in order to get get the exact details so they could make 100 perfect replica's of his famous number 1 guitar (these are not the signature model you can buy in the shops there is only 100 being made, 6 of which are coming to the uk & all 100 were pre-sold before the luthiers began working on them)

The Mag gives details of all his gear & his guitar setup. so here it all is for you's who want to emulate his sound.

guitars: strats, martin acoustic & a national

amps: fender super reverb, vibroverb, twin reverb; dumble

effects: tube screamer, vox wah, fuzz face & tycobrahe octavia

other comments: he used heavy gauge strings 0.13 to 0.15 (top E), he strung his guitar with very high action, he had a tendancy to snap a lot of strings so he started to strip a piece of wire and use the plastic shielding and loop that over the string and send it through the block so that it rested on top of one of the arcs on the bridge the mag says this wouldnt really kill the tone of the string (it may have coloured his tone slightly though so you may want to try this when emulating his sound) but it would help prevent friction building up and breaking the string, his pickups were stock 63's but has some shielding tape around them to lower the inductance of the pickup & all control pots were standard of the era & finally the three-way switch was replaced with a five-way switch.
