Re: To Technical?
I am almost sure he uses a Shure 58, most performers do, and it would fit his voice range just fine. On his strings, they can be so cruticial to a great sound. Back around 1980, I had put some new strings on my 1969 D28 Martin and they were so outstanding in sound, that a friend who had stopped by and who also a band back then, offered me $1000 for the guitar. I didn't sell it of course, but when I looked for the make and size of strings, (when I wanted to change them finally) I couldn't find the package, and of course, I couldn't remember who made them, what size, where I got them or when. I always had many different sets of strings in a draw that I had purchased when ever I saw a decent price on them. I tried a few different sets after that, and darn if I ever found the same sound as I had with that set. Fortunately it never was as important as it would be for someone like Gordon, where the sound matters very much.
