![]() ![]() I'm personally more of a fan of the latter style, so I'd probably go Wildkat. Crank out the Low E polepiece on the bridge pickup until it's close to the string, but the string doesn't hit it when plucked, and run in through an overdriven amp, preferably 6V6 powered, and you've pretty much got that sound nailed! I often do that with my Casino and it's great. That thicker kind of sound with lots of bassy distortion. The Wildkat would suit the 'Johnny Burnette Trio' style of Rockabilly I think. I don't really care for the shape of it actually, but the ones I've seen in store looked very well made and finished, and I liked the orange finish on it better than the finish on the equivalent Gretsch. I've not played the Swingster, so I'm not sure if it can do that kind of sound, but it certainly has that kind of style to it. The kind of Rockabilly that you would associate with a Gretsch guitar I guess. The Swingster would seem to fit in better with the kind of Rockabilly that features lots of reverb, use of vibrato, etc. I guess it partially depends on what sort of Rockabilly you want to play. ![]()
