Chula Vista

I seriously hate having to bring my old age into any discussion. I really do.

Ziggy Stardust - 1972.

A Les Paul is such a beast of a guitar. It's uncomfortable, heavy, and maybe the least ergonomic guitar ever designed.

But that ****ing glorious ****ing tone.

Peter Green, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Duane Allman, Jimmy Page, etc. etc. etc.

On Ziggy, Ronson carved a whole new Les Paul role. Dial down the gain a little, cut back on the reverb and delay, and don't dig in so hard. And Scott captured it so perfectly.
