same note but little different sound and nobody will really hear the difference.
Good observation! When I've played the song live I alternated between the original fetting & these these options to keep it interesting.

I would have gone for a 6120 but can't really justify the spend on top of my Strymon addiction :)
First, I love the orange and was thinking of a full hollowbody (but also want a Danelectro but ultimately aiming for a Gibson Firebird...soooooooo). I do think the Electromatics hold up really, really well. I've said it before but when I bought my Electromatic (solid body, single cut Jet BT in Jade) I wasn't intending on buying one. I just played it and loved the feel. I still do.

Thanks Chris!! Got a great shot of Mal moving his hand back and forth. I've always liked watching Mal play that Gretch. Looks bigger than him. IMO I think he was one of the best rhythm guitarist.
This trying to get my left hand and right hand to work together is driving me crazy!
