You do not happen to be using a chorus pedal do you? Or does your amp have chorus effect? You probably have it turned to max.

I have an old Arion Stereo Chorus pedal. This thing is actully sought for nowadays.

Anyway, if you turn all the controls to max, it sounds just like being underwater. I actually love this effect.

There are a lot of surf music bands that are searching for your tone...... Among the things to do is change the strings.

Happy Sunsets!

I watched because he had some really pretty girls on his show. 8)

Lawrence Welk rocked. It was a great show with great music. I like all sorts of music even polka and waltzes. And the first instrument I had lessons on was the accordian.

A & L, I believe he did say that. I don't think his show would have been the success it was without his thick German accent. And Ed Sullivan was the same,

I wrote on this a few days back, the thread about "what got you started playing guitar" or something similar.

When I was a Cub Scout my den mother must have seen my interest in music and gave me free accordian lessons. I think I had about 5 or 6 lessons. It was funny, I was a very short and skinny little kid. I don't think I weighed 70 pounds. This was a full sized accordian, it may have weighed as much as me. I remember that thing hanging around my neck, man it was heavy!

We moved shortly thereafter. So there went my career on accordian.

I have had that problem. Your tone sounds very heavy and low and thick. almost like your playing through butter its just not clean. (if thats what your talking about anyways) Your "Low" Volume knob on your amp if you have one is way to high. Thats why it sounds so bassy and thick. Just turn up your Lead, Gain, Or "high" Knob, and or turn down your low knob. Im pretty sure its not the guitar.
