This is "Sweet"

It's a really lo-fi recording, but does have some stereo movement going on, best listened to via headphones

3 guitar tracks recorded directly into a Tascam PortaOne 4-Track

The guitar is a "Teisco" semi-acoustic, which I bought in the 1970s for £30

My guitar has been modified (by me, sorry) to replace the vibrato with a really cheap and light trapeze tailpiece, and I also replaced the default 3-way switch with an on-off-on (DPDT) for each pickup, and an on-on series/parallel switch - which effectively allows you to use the two pickups either individually, or both together in either in-phase, or out-of-phase mode...

In series mode you have to have both pickups on, and you get a much thicker, higher output.

I also took a flatstone to the frets. The action was terrible - about 1/2 an inch at the neck pickup - the frets had grooves and dents in them, and I think the spring was mising from the vibrato...
