Re: Setup of the day
P90s and a Les Paul.. there’s really no way to go wrong with that combo! I really love this one that I have now. It’s a total boat anchor but I’ve gotten used to it. I’m not sure I could wear it on a strap for an extended period of time though. I should weight it one day just for the laugh. I’m 100% sure it weighs more than my Travis Bean

Re: Setup of the day
Mine is 9.1lbs, so it's not too bad, especially for a Custom...but hours and hours on a strap are not fun for sure!i love sharin foo wrote: ↑Sun Jan 23, 2022 11:38 amP90s and a Les Paul.. there’s really no way to go wrong with that combo!

God I love P90s...I actually think I like them more than PAF humbuckers!

Re: Setup of the day
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!

Re: Setup of the day
Regardless of the weight, you two are not helping my gas for a black P90 LP.
Silly Rabbit, don't you know scooped mids are for kids?

Re: Setup of the day
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!johnnysomersett wrote: ↑Sun Jan 23, 2022 1:20 pmRegardless of the weight, you two are not helping my gas for a black P90 LP.
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.

Re: Setup of the day
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 samei love sharin foo wrote: ↑Sun Jan 23, 2022 1:29 pmDo it!

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

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!

Re: Setup of the day
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

Re: Setup of the day
I agree! I have an Esquire build I put together that pushed me over the edge to find a real 50s one!i love sharin foo wrote: ↑Sun Jan 23, 2022 1:58 pmI’ve been looking Juniors too!

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!

Re: Setup of the day
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 daysi love sharin foo wrote: ↑Sun Jan 23, 2022 1:58 pmI’ve been looking Juniors too!

Re: Setup of the day
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.johnnysomersett wrote: ↑Sun Jan 23, 2022 2:09 pmWe've probably all been staring at the same few on Reverb.

Gone are the days when they were affordable!
