Regardless of the weight, you two are not helping my gas for a black P90 LP.

Do it! I had been wanting a gold top forever, but black always piques my interest. When I saw that they made this run of Classics in Ebony with the p90s, I was sold! The one I have already had the Bigsby on it ( I bought it used). The quality is super all around. I have no regrets at all!

Today, I fired up the big amps for the first time in a little while. My wife had them buried in totes of Christmas decorations, which are slowly going back to where they came from. This SG is tuned to A# with some heavy flatwounds. Both amps are run simultaneously with the Space Echo only on the Orange. I still need a second Green cab.

With Gibsons I have no idea which are the good, and which are the bad, years/eras. I know what I like in a guitar (chunky profile, narrow nut) but I've played Gibsons that have baseball bats and some with skinny shredder necks... and they all basically look the same

There isn’t a lot that you can’t do with a pair of P90s. I just weighed it using my bathroom scale… 11.8lbs that’s with the strap and obviously the Bigsby (and vibramate). Grovers too. These Classics are not chambered either. So, yeah, it’s a pig. Haha!

Oh wow!! That is a bit on the heavy side!!

But still, if it rocks, that's all that matters! To be honest, I do almost all my playing sitting down nowadays!

It's a must!!

I'd love a Les Paul Jr at some point too! I was looking at a TV yellow one the other day, but thankfully it sold before payday!

The definition of "epic setup" right there!!!

I’ve been looking Juniors too! I want a sunburst one with the solid center (target burst style). Guitars with single pickups sound so alive. Not having that extra magnetic pull from the second pickup. There’s only a couple guitars on my “gotta acquire” list. A Strat (I’m piecing one together right now), the Junior, a Gretsch Jet of some sort, probably sparkle but maybe Duo, and god help me, but a Rickebacker 360 for the fifth time

I agree! I have an Esquire build I put together that pushed me over the edge to find a real 50s one!

I actually finally bought a Fender Stratocaster (if we ignore the £50 Squier one I had for a couple of months about 10 years ago), last month, and I am surprised at how much I am loving it...I lucked out and got a tuning fork of a guitar!

We've probably all been staring at the same few on Reverb. I fell for them thanks to Brian Baker. I'd get a cheap-ish one but feel I'd be disappointed if it wasnt a real 50's one though - and they're strong money these days

I love Brian Baker! And of course, Bad Religion and Minor Threat etc! He's been playing some awesome 50s Jrs for the past few years for sure.

Gone are the days when they were affordable!

[hulakatt]

I have to say that yes, Jr's are awesome

Yeah, I can't justify 10k on something like that really.

4K on something like this though...



...veeeerrry tempting
