Hi Len,
As you wrote, that was in '61 and on a rosewood neck perhaps?
I was writing about the 34346 before and around the time of Apache, so a year earlier.
The statement of only flats can shine like that, I leave that to you....
I had sparkling shining strings all the time when I was filmed by a pro crew and the bloke behind the spotlight was very fanatic to give me a sun tan.
The set I used was just brand new normal Daddario's 11-52 ....
I couldn't see what I was playing, after a shout from me and a firm prayer from our singer he dimmed the spots a smidgen...
Never mind the string type..... I find it a ground hog day discussion ....never be resolved and returning like a nightmare
Even after Bruce said I was there, and Hank told me in a 45 minutes interview the same and he knew exactly who he was talking about, people bought a Gretsch....most of those Gretsch are sold by now
Let's bring back this thread main topic, how about the string volume balance on the maple neck 34346 and this recording???
Cheers Rob
