Fender Statocaster American Standard
Finnguitar knows that Finn has changed from a using GIbson guitars to mainly use a Fender Stratocaster, American Standard and Fender Stratocaster, Mexican. Volume and tone controllers are usually set to maximum:
Rythm playing
The volume control in the two upper positions are usually turned down to 8 to get a smoother and less overdriven sound when Finn is playing rythm guitar.
Playing lead
The volume controller in most songs is set to maximum by Finn. All five position are used to play lead, but the uper position is used more than any other positions. The lower position is used to give a lot of edge to the sound as a variation often in the middle of solo. Often the volume is turned up to maximum to boost the volume and to get a bit more edge on the sound. Often also an overdrive pedal and/or a compressor pedal are used to create volume, sustain or a fatter overdriven sound.
