Since finishing up Solo Flight, I&#8217;ve turned my attention to the next track, &#8220;Strange But True&#8221;. There&#8217;s not a lot I wanted to change in this piece. As per my usual habit, it&#8217;s already been re-recorded a couple of times, but in accordance with my master plan, I wanted to replace the electric guitar with the <a href=\"\/blog\/post\/2011\/02\/05\/Gibson-L6-S-Deluxe\">Gibson L6-S<\/a>, and go over the acoustic guitar tracks to see if there were any glitches I wanted to clean up.
