    Cool down, man...it's a matter of opinion and how we like it. There's no doubt is sounds AMAZING either way... No one is bashing Mike or questioning his artistic ideas.
    Naaa, I'm cool - I wasn't mad at all (there are no exclamation points or angry faces).
    I was just matter-of-fact - it's Mikes tune and he can play it how he wants . . .

    Except playing Yellow Ledbetter on a Les Paul will make Jimi and Stevie roll in their graves.

    Jimi Hendrix also played a Les Paul, an SG, and Flying V . . .

    I kind of agree with ian, this is pointless to even discuss really. Everyones ear is gonna hear stuff differently anyways. So it is possible that what sounds phenominal to you might just be middle of the road to someone else. But at the end of the day its their choice, and who are we to be like ( It should only be played on this. Or only played like this. Because thats the way i like it). How bout how they like it? But then again thats why we all come here, cause we aint got anything better to do. So why not question it? Just keep in mind its a friendly discussion, I though ian seemed a bit testy myself

    Did he record Little Wong with an LP or a white SG?

    "I'll tell you what: If all I had was Pearl Jam, and I didn't have another band in the world, I would not be worried. Because in there is the essence of making great music. You don't have to use it all at once, but it's there." - Neil Young

    Sorry if I sounded a bit "testy" - I think it just came out that way (as I've said before, I'm not known for being the most tactful person - especially when I keep reading how certain songs should only be played with certain guitars) - but for the record, no my post wasn't meant to sound incensed.

    Strat, though he played the tune with all four (Strat, LP, SG, and V).
    Hendrix seemed to use Gibson's later in his career (most likely because he liked the set necks resonance and sustain, and the fullness/thickness of the humbuckers).
