RE: Any guitarist here using a Fathead?
yes
Scoots is correct. I have a fat finger, right here in my 501 jeans, but
seriously, groove Tubes is still making both items, fat fingers and heads, and
yes they do give more sustain and a slightly more compressed tone, and take care
of some dead spots. BUT, I have since gone back to using the lightest
vintage style tuners I can find as I feel that, what bit of sustain I might
loose, I appreciate the response and liveliness of an instrument that has very
low headstock mass, wider dynamic range and better instrument balance. Want more
sustain? go to a larger profile neck , though some folks don't find these very
comfortable. I use big Louisville slugger sized necks, but if you had a
slim modern profile neck like what Ibanez uses, then a fat finger might cure
what ails you.

I heard it
gives better sustain and overtone twang to less distorted
guitar
work.
hi per.....young bill walker used a thing called a
fat-finger, it clipped onto the headstock of one's guitar and gave a bit more
sustain, he may have info around this.....i have noticed that just clipping my
capo onto my headstock made a bit of a difference.....also, march's issue of
PRO AUDIO REVIEW, another freebie, had several articles on small compact
recorders: TASCAM HD-P2 (www.tascam.com) and the M-AUDIO MICRO TRAC
(www.m-audio.com) and lastly they had a blurb on the SONY MZ-M100
(www.sony.com/professional) there was also an article on the GEMINI iKEY which
allows one to record with your iPOD.....www.proaudioreview.com is hopefully
where you can get these articles.....this is a wacky free mag most of the
reviews are for bazillion dollar mics and stuff so anytime they asked that i
re-up and continue to get there mag i do nothing and it still comes to
me.....mic
p.s. their last issue had many more reviews of "small"
recorders
