I'm Blake, I'm 17 and play rhythm guitar. Malcolm younf is my idol, I've looked up to him since I started to play at 12; he's the one that made me think to myself:" I better pick up a guitar"
Love the sound a lot!! I have a Malcolm Young signature Gretsch too :p And I have a Marshall Super Bass 100 watt :p Will try to make a video or audio-example from both :p Grtz, J-L
Sounds amazingly good. That Malcolm signature Gretsch really got a unique and special sound. It’ls like you can hear every single string ring out. Kinda like a acoustic guitar. Is the body solid or like a semi-acoustic?
What are your settings pls mate? I have an Electromatic double Jet stripped with stock pickups taken out and a Filtertron in the bridge, but I have a Marshall MG50dfx. I can get a simlilar tone but not as clean and crunchy like that. Just wondering what your secret is? I have 12-56 strings on too!!
thanks

Posted at 05:51h, 24 DecemberAbsolutely NO criticism here – it’s a thinner sound than through a Marshall, but damn, it’s so articulated, and still has the Grrrlll, to it.
I really love that sound. Clean, but punch and dynamic, lots of clarity. Very very nice.

Posted at 22:16h, 04 NovemberSounds like it’s brand new strings too. Am I right? ๐

Posted at 17:44h, 05 NovemberActually those strings are like 6 months old, D’Addario Nickel 12’s last forever. Malcolm uses them as well as Gibson Jazz 12’s

Posted at 19:22h, 05 NovemberMal uses strings with a wound G string. Very heavy strings. 13-14 probably

Posted at 15:26h, 23 DecemberI believe Malcolm these days plays like… 14-66. At least live, when they play down tuned ๐

Posted at 20:25h, 04 NovemberThis is absolutely the characteristic tone every Mal-Fan wants to have!!
I guess a semi-hollow-boy is the final secret of the tone ๐
It sounds amazing!
