| A mahogany guitar with p-90's is essential to that tone. Also, I guess they have a layer of acoustic in there to add to the rythmic flow of the guitars. |

| dial the volume back on both pick ups to mimic a closer sound to P-90's and use an overdrive/distortion pedal to dial in the gain and help smooth out 'nasty' marshall mids S/. |
