Get the tone

The ideas in this article can be played with any type of guitar. All of the pickup selections and effect combinations are noted alongside the tab. Our examples were recorded with a PRS custom 22, plugged into a 90s Fender Deville 2x12 combo. For the clean examples, we dialled up a bright and lively sound; otherwise the only effects used were an Ibanez Tube Screamer and a touch of reverb for that final touch of ambience.
