But the classic surf guitar sound of course includes the high-pitched plinking of a Fender Twin reverb spring slapping against its metal case. If you haven't heard it, it's kind of like entering the V'Ger central core, but really high-pitched and fast, and in 16th notes while double-picking.

Mmmm spring reverb. Brings back memories :) (incidentally they are
usually quite easy to repair).

Now anyone who can *truly* emulate that is some form of god!

The all time classic for me was the instrumental Pipline by The
Chantays circ. 1963 I think.
