THE ORIGINAL ARSENAL

GUTAR: Early-’60s Kay K6533 archtop hollowbody with single Kay “cheese grater” single-coil pickup (neck pickup only).

AMP: Mid-’60s Sears Silvertone 1485 (Channel: 2, Volume: 6, Bass: 5, Treble: 7; Reverb and Tremolo off).

CABINET: Sears Silvertone 1485 six-by-ten with Jensen C10Q ceramic speaker.

EFFECTS: Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi (Volume: 6, Tone: 7, Sustain: 9); DigiTech Whammy 4 (Whammy 1-octave down setting).

STRINGS/TUNING: String gauge and brand unspecified (use at least a set of .010–.046 strings); Open A (E A E A C# E).

PICK/SLIDE: Dunlop Heavy 1.0mm Tortex; chrome-plated steel slide.

TONE TIP: Turn up the Pro Junior’s volume control until the tone just starts to break up. This provides tone that’s clean enough for a convincing bass line with the octave-down effect and jangly enough for the main rhythm guitar part. Kick on the Big Muff for the slide solo only.
