Check this. I tweaked Pickup Heights and some other Super Secret Stuff. Hear it straight into a Vox Night Train

Hey Billy in the first clip does the guitar have the Bigsby Sorkin bridge on it? The second clip sounds a lot fuller to me (it sounds amazing!) I was wondering if maybe you swapped the bridge which is partly responsible for the change in tone (along with the pickup adjustment?)? I really like what you did with this guitar!
