TALES FROM NERDVILLE by Joe Bonamassa
TOOLS OF THE TRADE, PART 3
OVER THE LAST two columns, Joe Bonamassa demonstrated the attributes of two of his favorite guitars: the 1954 Gibson Les Paul goldtop with P90 pickups, and the 1961 Gibson dot- neck ES-335. This month, he’ll continue our expedition with another guitar he considers to be an essential tool of the trade — the 1952 Fender Esquire.

Try balancing the switch between the front and middle position for the Capacitor WITH the Tone Knob. It works on some of them.
