All my recent ruminations about keyboards and digital pianos and such have me thinking about my amazing new guitar. Well, new to me. It’s a Starfire Special from the short-live but amazingly high-quality Dearmond line put out by Fender right after they acquired Guild in the late 90s. I have several different Dearmond models, all that I love with great passion, but this new super hot and sweet Starfire Special is just awesome. Great action. Great sound. I’m so happy.

Now, pulling the perfect tone from this almost perfect tool is just so much freakin’ fun, but
I have to admit there are some add-ons that could help. Hey, I wouldn’t complain if someone threw a new Boss compressor my way. Sometimes everyone needs a little boost for their lead line jackin’.

Right?
