ABSTRACT

The best guitar sound always starts at the source. The guitar (including

bass guitar) must be in good condition, properly aligned and intonated,

and with all knobs, switches, and cables checked and in working order.

Most importantly, it must be in tune. The rest is up to the player. The

finest instrument can sound wretched in the wrong hands. You want the

listener to get a lump in their throat, not their stomach.
