always interesting...
Here's Steve Rothery from Marillion giving a rare insight into his sound.
Here's Steve Rothery from Marillion giving a rare insight into his sound.
To get the sounds of the albums up to TSE buy a maple necked strat (changing the pick ups to EMG SA's). The tremelo unit I use is a kahler. It's a lot more important to find a guitar that's been made with a good piece of wood than one with any specific name on the headstock. Try as many guitars as possible until you find one that feels right and resonates well. The early vintage Japanese Squiers are unusually consistent in terms of build quality. On the more recent albums I use Blade guitars (changing the pick ups to Lindsey Fralin vintage)these have a more natural sound which compliment the Groove tubes Trio pre ampand Dual 75 power amp that I use most of the time these days.
Hope that helps.
