Well...thank you Jolly for your on the subject input. BTW..I have a gibson solid body electric which I DO play. I DO have a wonderful professional job working with contractors. You must have missed the direction i was going with my question. It was intended to create a more recordable tone for the equipment I have. I love playing all guitars and all styles that I have any experience with. I guess Ill just borrow my friends guitar and try the recording. Darn another road trip to Florida. **snapping fingers in mock disgust**
