OK, maybe you already knew this, but picks do make a difference in your tone! Today I bought some Dunlop 1 mm heavy picks, and wow! My tone sounds significantly better! Before I was using Fender medium picks. Also, these dunlops have a rough surface at the top grabbing area and are much more secure in holding. It feels great to use it! It's a more substantial feeling in the hand, with more heft. There's no bending of the pick, and the strings are hit straight on. It especially sounds better in the high strings. I get more volume and more depth out of them. and all for 40 cents each! How's that for a cheap tone improvement!
Also today I bought a new cable, one with a right angle jack for my epiphone dot. I'm electric again!
AND, i bought a portable folding music stand. I play standing up, so it really helps to have music stand for sheet music.
So think about your picks! Are you using the right one? Try some different ones. go heavy!

Yeah, I've been using Dunlop heavies for a while now. And for the same reasons.
