JohnnyS's purchases since taking a time out...
Obviously the big one was the Les Paul but I have had a few through the door since October.
2001 MIJ Jaguar, OTM. I've put a Mastery Bridge on, it came with a Staytrem collet & arm. I've put a DiMarzio Chopper in it for now. This is a fucking great guitar.
90's Squier Vista Musicmaster, another surprisingly amazing guitar:
2008? MIJ Baritone Special. Currently has Phat Cats in it courtesy of GaryPtaszek:
And lastly, a 1979 Guild S-60. Oil City Tele-style humbucker-sized thing in the only position. Deleted tone knob (obviously). Logo had faded completely so I got a replacement and popped that on. This is super light and fun to play, a real weapon:
Oh, I briefly had this old AVRI Strat that was beautiful but I, predictably, hated it:
Oh, and I finally got a V1 Rat (1980 I believe)
Oh (again) I had a Popa Chubby Flying V for a few weeks too. There's probably something I've forgot.

They sound great. To be honest, the original Dragsters actually sounded fantastic and didn't really need swapping.MayTheFuzzBeWithYou wrote: ↑Sun Feb 04, 2024 7:06 amThat Jag is gorgeous. Sorry. both of course. How do you like the Phat Cats in the Baritone?
That one might have to go if I keep the LP. I've reached a bit of a peak of guitars vs available space. Something has to give.

Good stuff. I LOVE that Jag. How’s the rail pickup?

Re: JohnnyS's purchases since taking a time out...
It's really cool actually. Nice and bright but still a decent output. The height you set it at has a huge effect on the tone... Even ½ turn on the screws changes it drastically and it took me a while to dial it in to taste.BoringPostcards wrote: ↑Sun Feb 04, 2024 8:29 amGood stuff. I LOVE that Jag. How’s the rail pickup?
And it's my favorite colour for an Offset. Aged OTM is *chefs kiss*

Thanks! It was a winter project that happened. I wasn't that sold on it once it was finished. The paint could have been better as there was a little reaction (humidity I guess) but it played pretty good. I might put it back together and sell it. It's based on the Broadcaster Prototype III - but Tahitian Coral Pine body, soft V Allparts neck, Gotoh hardware etc. I did it well enough...but I was a bit underwhelmed when it was done - preferred my AO60s Tele

I love it. It might have to go on the block if the LP stays though...I need to be kinda brutal about things if I do. You're first on the list though, as promised via IG it doesn't have it's original pickup anymore though (some lunatic offered to buy it from me for £70!). I did put some MIJ Fender tuners on it though, they're much better than the stock ones.

Plus I don't look like a dork n00b with a b*zzstop
Maybe I should climb onto the roof of my house and get you a couple more from up there?
