I was able to use it on a new work "Suite For James Dean" for a traditional jazz guitar tone. In fact I used two different tones.
I also used the Shawn Lane as guest soloist on the # 4 hit song "Heaven shines by New Orleans singer Sherreece (indie USA charts) and that was with a rock sound . So it demonstrates how versatile this instrument can be , if used with the right equipment and if the recording is done in a good tracking studio room.
The first movement of "Suite for James Dean" can be heard on the link below.
