That is too funny !

It was coined to describe one of the "tones" that Eric Clapton used way back in the late 60's with the Bluesbreakers and Cream - when he used Gibson guitars. Its just a Gibson/humbucker guitar with the neck pickup (and maybe both together) selected and the tone control rolled way back, played thru a cranked amp. I think it was used for lead/single note stuff as opposed to chording. Personally, I don't care for that, it sounds muddy and lacking in high end to me, but apparently some like it.

You can also have it on your strat with this from Guitar Fetish. Then your guitar can nag you too.
