pale saints guitar sound/tone

Good, honest post from Ian M. earlier today on FB:

I have a few words I'd like to write at this sad time. Comments are closed. Just read and digest, please.
It wasn't a secret that Graeme and I didn't speak after I left Pale Saints. Our musical paths had already diverged. There was no ill feeling between us. It was simply no longer necessary to say any more when music was the only thing that connected us.
Even after you stop making music with someone, and cease to know them, you have an unbreakable musical bond with them, because you set aside differences to make that music with them, and that music endures for a longer time.
So I'll always respect the bond, a bond which defies comprehension for me, that allowed the 3 of us collaborate to make the music that led to the 1st album, and then the 4 of us to make the 2nd album. Because neither of those albums could have occurred without each member's vital contributions, the unconscious channeling of each musical spirit. A chance meeting that changed our lives.
During the time I knew him, Graeme lived for music, and his enthusiasm for it neither wavered nor waned. A true music maniac and aficionado. I never heard him express a desire to do anything else.
I send my condolences to all who knew and loved him.

Thanks for that, Ned.
