I'm actually serious because I'm thinking of doing some upgrades to my MIM and you often hear such terms thrown about how this type of component does this when someone's describing different things.

So I appreciate your input. I'd love to have someone say, "hear Knopfler's solo in Sultan of Swing?" that's quacky. Or whatever. And then the next time I hear something I could nod my head and go, "Yeah, that's quacky..."

Also consider the other component in "Sultans",which was supposed to be a '62 Vibrolux with a Fane speaker....here's mine,my Strat won't get to quackin' without a great amp. :lol:

Pay close attention to the tone of the guitar during the lead breaks. Cray's quack is definitely more prominent when he picks lead lines than when he strums chords.

This further shows how different people view terms; I would call those same lead lines "smooth," and all of those rythm strums "quacky."
Did I spell 'rythm' correctly?

Listen to Buddy Holly's stuff. :idea: That's about as original and unadulterated vintage Strat single coil as you can get. :wink:
