Guitar sound wanted - D.A.D. Sleeping my day away

[MountainKing]

Here's one of my all time favs and I LOVE the sound of the guitar intro lick (repeated during chorus) and the solo part - D.A.D Sleeping my day away:




My search in other forums delivered a direction into the Gretsch world of guitars. So I got myself a G5439T:

This is what I got in a quick recording and a short rough mix using the Gretsch, Logic's drummer and my bass guitar. Amp Laney IRT Studio via USB interface and internal speaker-sim and the Bass directly into the Steinberg UR22 using a Behringer Bass DI in front of it.

Let me know what you think about the guitar sound or even the whole mix. Any additional hints out there regarding this great tone I'm searching for?


Cheers Jens
