Oh yeah ... I do appreciate all the positive comments about the playing, the tone, and the usefulness of the shootout. Thanks, guys.
Shootout: Duncan vs Gretsch Dynas, Blackface vs Tweed, and a pedal.

Proteus said: Probably the biggest single difference from the stockers is that I often overplayed them – I whanged too hard, pushed them past what they could give. Made me feel the guitar was wimping out, that it needed heavier strings, that it just needed MORE something. I don't get that with the Seymours. They seem to accommodate everything I push through them; they don't bottom out or stop responding.
Before, there would be moments in a lead, in a picking pattern, or in a chord where I felt the guitar fail me, or felt myself fail it – a note wouldn't speak as I intended, or would die off without saying anything, would feel like a dead end.
Interesting, as that tension was audible to me in your stock clips. It was one of, probably the major, reason I wound up selling my Jet. As you said, it was like I expected something more and I couldn't get it. I reasoned -- correctly, it sounds like -- that the only way to get what I wanted was either a vintage Jet (or vintage Dynas/DeArmonds) or Duncans.
There's definitely going to be Duncan-equipped Jet-like creature in my future -- I don't know if it will be a Gretsch or something based thereon, but that sound -- or at least the potential of it -- really grabbed me.

Great comparo Proteus. BTW, I love your playing. Do you have any more "samples" online? Are you pro?

i perfer the stock dynas, they have more clarity and shimmer and have that classic sound. The SD no doubt have more balls and punch but to me dont have that classic Gretsch sound.
