Kelly told us some time ago of a professional guitarist he sometimes works with. The guy lives somewhere in the midwest. People in Los Angeles send him unfinished tracks by email. He records his parts on ProTools and then sends them to Kelly here in Salt Lake. Kelly dumps them into CuBase and mixes the guitar tracks, then sends them back to L.A. for the final mix.
Modern technology still amazes me.

Sheckter seems to get a bad rep more than anything for the fact they've been associated with "nu-metal" bands lately (and affordable guitars they market to their fans), which a lot of the grizzled veterans in all types of rock/metal genres like to scoff at. I also somewhat scoffed at the guitars, and then while helping my friend shop for a guitar I got to try a couple. Turned out to be very good axes with a lovely tone, made a lovely bluesy sort of sound I liked. But again you're right - you gotta match the guitar with the player.

I've read a lot of guitar and bass forums lately, and that seems to be true of pretty much everything. Some love one, some hate it, and almost always it sounds just fine.
