Hi all,
Just wondering what your favourite guitar to use with a Big Muff is? I previously used my Ephiphone Sheraton with muddy results indeed, but last night at recording I the guitar below and although it’s a best to play the tone was the best I’d ever heard with my Muff. Does anyone know what sort of guitar it might be? I picked it up a while ago for £40 from a music shop that said all he knew about it was it’s from the 60s.

Well, I guess that doesn’t work!
You can see it here however…http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i212/sfagurilla/guitar.jpg”>http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i212/ … guitar.jpg
The guitar looks a lot like the old Hagstroms, but those have a name on the headstock. Silvertone and some of those other old "department store" guitar companies sometimes released guitars with no names on the headstocks. A cool looking guitar, nonetheless.
I’ve always thought Muffs worked well with single coils. When I’ve used humbuckers, it’s always come out very muddy. That’s one of the reasons I dropped a Dream 90 into my Jagmaster.
Hi, thanks for your swift and informative reply! I’ll certainly check out Dream 90s on your recommendation too.
Hello again, I’ve done some investigating and tracked down what it is. If anyone’s interested it’s here…
Cheers!

The tremolo mechanism is very similar to that of a jazzmaster, except on this guitar it just puts all the strings out of tune and little else! I’m guessing the Jazzmaster’s a little more functional than that.
well I guess you could do with some upgrades to that guitar anyways. Do you use a whammy bar? If not, take the tailpiece off the guitar and take off the spring causing the string plate to not move when in tune. I did that on my Univox and it’s great now. I would prolly end up switching out the bridge for a Gibson style bridge too. Then yes, the dream 90’s. Really, other than upgrading the wiring I think that’s all I would do to it, if the tuners are good that is.
I like modding cheap guitars….it makes people look at me funny.
oh, as for my fave guitar to muff, I would have to say my SG copy. It is a no name that has two single coils and not much going for it lol. I refinished it to dollar store blue. HAha, I wanted that cheap latex paint on it so it would come off really easy….works well too.
