I\'m mostly interested in his instrument.
6.75"L x 4.25"C............
.....oh.wait.what instrument? :lol:

In a similiar vain, does anyone know Ron\'s setup? I\'m mostly interested in his instrument.

Always been a humbucker man, myself (though my first electric axe was an East German Strat copy, which a mate modded to give me a switchable out-of-phase tone). Use an Epiphone 335 copy now, which I got cause Jorma used one. Always been surprised Tim didn\'t move towards the PRS style as so many other fusion/proggy guiatrists have, although I think many such guitars tend to give a samey sound. To me, some of the best guitarists have used something a little different - Jerry\'s Melody Maker, Steve Howe and Ted Nugent\'s Gibson archtops etc. Correct me if I\'m wrong , but doesn\'t Jon Gutwillig of the biscuits use a semi too? I seem to remember seeing a pic a while back.
Personally, I would love to see Tim get the SG back, but the I have to admit the Strat seems to be doing alright - is Adrian missing it though?
-
the sg was sweet, but the strat is too. i think i have the same model strat (american deluxe?) I like how the strat gives a bit more zappa to his sound (even though zappa used SGs too)
in the future, itd be cool if he had the SG running again and used both
-
i\'m really comin around on the strat also.... the first couple shows i saw with tim playin it i was a bit skeptical, but i was really diggin\' it at porter\'s and mill street.....i just really miss some of the tones the sg used to get....the strat rips tho....no doubt
-
the thing is the sg had already been repaired for a crack in the neck and i guess it didn\'t hold up. then 2nd time a neck cracks is usually when it\'s considered totalled. especially for a setneck.
i think the strat is great and i know tim is digging the tone big time.

From the two times I\'ve seen them I remember the SG being pretty sweet sounding. It\'s shame it\'s knackered but I love Strats.
I have a Sunn Mustang (Strat copy) that I stole from my dad many years ago. I use it in my band. I should buy another but the sound is gorgeous. I recently had the nut replaced and the selector switch definitely needs replacing as the connection is faulty in the first three positions. I tend to keep it more in the 4th or 5th positions and put it through my rather simple set up. Cry Baby Wah into Dod FX 57 American Metal, which I bought second hand years ago. The combo of the low end strat sound through the wah creates some beautiful sustains. The only problem I have is feedback, it\'s really difficult to keep under control. I\'m working on it at the moment and I was gonna get a Boss M2 but got screwed on Ebay. Our bass player\'s in China for two months so I\'m not gonna need it urgently till after then but for the moment my Dod is God. *ba-bum*

the SG was the ****... definitely had the best sound, IMO. Can you not get a new neck for an SG?
the problem with the sg is that it is a solid piece of wood, where as something like a strat or tele are a body that is bolted to a neck. because of this, it is alot harder and much more expensive to fix a problem with the neck of an sg. Tim still has the sg, though it wont hold a tune anymore and the strings rattle from being too close to some of the frets. :(
-
I know of a guy in Minneapolis that repairs vintage guitars, **** necks, headstocks, etc. A guy I know had his guitar rapaired by this guy and you would never know that it was broken ..... If anyone is close to Tim have him email me at bryan_kriech@hotmail.com and I can get the guys # for him....he could drop it off when he is in Minneapolis next week. I will shoot Tim an email also...
Thanks

The Strat overall, is the best sounding one, IMO. However the SG is definitely missed for thse harder edged songs. Though I\'m not a big Tele fan, I definitely miss that one too.
-
i miss the sg..
-
oh ****, i didnt realize it was lost. Im sorry for bringing it up :(
I had a guitar stolen after a show we did in Richmond VA.. I was vert upset. I still get upset when i think of it. upset. then sad. then ANGRY! then hungry...
the tele was the stolen, the sg\'s neck ****.

I just started using an SG this summer- after watching their set at the Stone Pony earlier this year, i got inspired by tim\'s tone
:nope: anyone else miss the SG as much as i do?!? :killself:
what do you think of the strat? it sucks that tim lost both of his guitars this summer, but i really like the strat maybe even more than the SG.

popular timmy trick: digitech whammy (set up an octave) -> electro harmonix q tron for that almost steel drum kind of sound (see sleeping beauty instrumental/bridge). another one: volume pedal swells -> delay. he also uses a boomerang for some of the more spacey, ambient stuff.
-
word.
i used to use a strat, now i just keep it for slide work since i have it set with the action up a bit.
any pics of his rig anywhere? Im always curious as to other players tricks ;) Im not going to recreate and steal his effects set up, dont worry. even if i wanted, i couldnt afford any new gear now anyway haha
-
he has a volume pedal that he turns down in between songs to tune and whatnot, no noise gate. the sg is no more, he\'s now using a fender strat.
-
I\'ll poke through and see if there are any past threads, but if anyone knows offhand it would be appreciated. I just started using an SG this summer- after watching their set at the Stone Pony earlier this year, i got inspired by tim\'s tone ;)
Anyone know if he uses any noise gates or anything to eliminate buzz or hum? Its so quiet when he\'s not playing!
if this is the wrong forum, i apologize. Im new here
