The new Hanneman is pretty great. Of course I tuned it to E flat right away and started dusting off Slayer riffs. I was pretty rusty, but the tone was there, through anything remotely resembling an 800. Along the way, I started playing a Ratt song I didn’t really know, quite by accident, and it sounded the way I always wish I sounded when I play hair metal. It occurred to me that the guitar actually sounds amazing, like there’s some kind of synergy between it and the EMGs where everything just falls into place. I called up a Deluxe Reverb, turned the bass down to 2, the treble to 7, maxed the gain, and played blues licks for an hour. It did not sound like a guitar with an 81/85 set. Then a classic rock jam. It sounded the way I wish my old Epi LP sounded.

What is going on?

BTW Jeff would not approve of you playing hair metal on a Hanneman guitar. :nono:

Save that for your Jacksons. Other than Slayer and the like, old school Priest, Maiden, Venom, Merciful Fate, etc, are required.

My Jacksons are all tuned to E standard.

Would it make you feel better if I tuned my Dinky Professional down a half step and used it to play Ratt? It has Duncans and everything.
