Lead guitarist I played with in 1973-1975 had a 1959 Gibson SG. It 
didn't feel or sound anything like my classical guitar (1973 Garcia 
Concert Model 3). In his hands, it was always high-treble with the 
wah-wah cranked for high treble; I still have a hearing loss in that 
range courtesy of him. Who in a garage band used earplugs back then?
