Me having a go at House of the Rising Sun on a three string cbg. Using a low dad tuning (lowest three strings from a set of six). Kustom Arrow 16DFX amp on the clean channel with some reverb.

Spec of the guitar is dark 601 box, parana pine neck, rubber wood fretboard and bridge (part or the bridge is cedar), ebony nut and saddle, 19 frets with copper side markers, gold plated tuners, two piezo discs sandwiched in the bridge, oil finish to box and neck. Strings are electric even though there is only piezo amplification.

Hi Red.

Thank you very much for the comment. The amp is a Kustom Arrow 16DFX. It was set to the clean channel with the three tone controls all on about 60%. I had some hall reverb set on the amp, again at about 60%. Thanks again for the comments.

All the best.
