Sound
I got to play his original paisley telecaster. He had left it with a pal and I needed a guitar for a gig not knowing who's it was and said yuk, you want me to play this funny looking guitar. After the gig was over and I brought the guitar back did I find out it belonged to James his self. I never got to meet him and thank him personally but did tell Al Bruno TY TY TY //////////////
Features
I just played it straight through a tube Deluxe reverb
