Scott Henderson Discussion

Hi Scott,

You said that you don't like the sound of a strat with a humbucker. Do you miss using the tremolo bar when playing with your Les Paul or SG ?
Can you recommend a HB guitar with a tremolo bar?

Thanks!

I think I meant to say that I like single coils more than humbuckers for live playing. I don't play my Gibsons live - I use them mainly for recording, to add some textures which are different than the Fender type sounds. I don't miss the whammy bar when using them.

One of my Suhr Classics has a humbucker in the bridge, and I use it once in awhile when I need that sound with the whammy bar. I like the sound of a strat with a humbucker, but it just doesn't work for me in my trio situation.
