Hey Marty, I just want to say that you are great guitarist, and have been a huge musical influence. I just wanted to ask you, since you have been such an influence in my guitar style, what type of pickups and amplification would you recommend. I want the touchy fretboard, with some fat,cleaner tone, but without a overly distorted sound for heavier style soloing. Right now I've been using a special edition set neck tele with whatever humbuckers that are in it (original OEM , I don't know) through a crate GFX practice amp, until me and a friend get our band together. I look forward to checking out your latest instructional DVD. Thanks, Terry
