Pickup Position
Neck pickup
Studio recording, 1967 (Strange Days album). Guitar plugged directly into amp, no pedals. Used neck pickup. Amp was likely a rental Twin Reverb with Jensen or Oxford 12-inch speakers. Krieger played fingerstyle, no pick. Old, dead strings preferred for a warmer, less bright tone.
