As far as all the negative responses go you have to remember that you're often dealing with people's romantic notions & tradition, especially here.

I didn't even mic the guitar on this track. We mic'd the Fishman Loudbox Performer, set the delay time at 1-o'clock, chorus on minimum. The 'distortion' you're hearing is me overdriving the top of my Flammang L-40 in open C tuning, playing very hard, and because I use a soundboard transducer only, the energy translates very smoothly.

There is no way to mistake this for an electric guitar.

This setting & attack would not work for any of my other compositions. It's all about serving the song.

Same guitar on mic's & minimal ambience:

Great songs that prove my point! We would probably get along great if we ever met face to face Howard!
