JoyToTheP90s.mp3

  It's a demo of my new Agile AS-820 semihollowbody with P-90 pickups.  
It's "Joy To The World," 3 essentially identical verses, the first  
played on the neck pickup, the second on the parallel combination, and  
the third on the bridge. Amp is my Electar Tube 10 with Jensen Mod  
speaker. Guitar volume and tone knobs were all set at maximum, the amp  
gain and volume both down to 3 1/2, bass, midrange and treble knobs all  
maxed. Maybe not the ideal combination, but a standard of comparison.  
The guitar's still got its original GHS .009-.046" strings on it, tuned  
in Open E, played with a combination of fretting and a green glass wine  
bottle neck slide. In a living room with 2 china cabinets, dozens of  
Christmas nutcrackers and similar stuff to rattle and buzz, neighbors  
mowing lawns, shooting Estes rockets, and my son in the basement  
playing Halo Extreme online and yelling at his opponents. (No joke!)  
Recorded with Audacity on my old 500 MHz G3 iMac with an Apple  
PlainTalk mic.

'Tis the season. The mall wars began in earnest today. ;-)
