And Mojo, there's your Strat.

Forgot to add that it has to be a maple neck, too. I do love that 70's headstock, though.

I got your white Strat w/ maple neck & huge 70s headstock right here.

[Mojo]

That'll look fucking great in about thirty years when the white ages.

That's the problem w/ modern Strats. They're poly (mostly) which doesn't age like Nitro.

[Sleek]

Looks to me like you are mainly paying for all of those little stickers on the neck plate. Those add up.

Unfortunately they'll be gone when I replace it with a 'trucker mudflap naked girl leaning back' neck plate.

Don't let anybody ever tell you you're not a classy bitch, sirthx2.

Damn straight!

Okay, so for my merry christmas I blew the fucking tubes in my amp.

Anybody have preferences or recommendations on replacement tube brands?

I'm looking at J/Js. The originals in my amp were Rubys.

[Turner Coates]

I ordered one of these. I don't care if it chugs or not.


Will It Chug?.

Any insights on Epihone SG's models, MIK, MIC, etc...without dropping $$$ on a Gibson? My son wants one. I went a played a Epi G400 (I think) a few weeks ago and it felt like i was playing plywood.

I am not knowledgeable on the epiphone brand, but I do own an ec-1000 by ESP LTD and the thing plays like a dream. My only complaint is I personally prefer passive hum buckets over active EMG pickups, but I still love the thing.

Maybe check out this ESP LTD for your son….not a budget breaker and it looks kinda cool.

Personally I am trying to convince myself I need a custom Kiesel guitar after just being ravaged by Uncle Sam on taxes. I hope you find him something cool

Thanks! Def something to consider. Between the two of us we have Strats, Tele's, and Les Pauls, but he's asking for a SG on his own (thanks to Angus and Tony). I'll def check an LTD out.

I agree. Epiphones feel pretty shitty these days. My buddy bought an epi SG a while ago and it felt terrible. Some of the signature models have gotten good reviews, but I think the Tony Iommi one underwhelmed in a review I read. I know you pay more for a sig model, but I passed on the Brendan Small V, the Richie Faulkner V and the Luzzy Hale explorer and those are all worth like double what they were new.

i hear a lot of great things about current LTD models. I need another guitar like a hole in the head, but these are tempting me mightily... and have great reviews. I love 1 pickup, 1 knob guits.

Really, Huey? I kind of figured this would be more your type of guitar:

[exitflagger]

I have an LTD Phoenix, similar to above but with regular dual humbucker setup. Very sweet guitar for the price.

Which one? The aged white one is pretty cool looking.

While I like pointy, I am a sucker for the classics. Bernie Rico's original shapes, classic V and Explorer, and the Firebird.

I've never owned a pointy Jackson style V, although I think they're pretty cool. I dont like the rhoads, the little wing witht he pickguard is dorky and only looks good on tiny men. Overly goofy pointed shit, I dont really care for.

That said, if i was in a comedy metal band, I'd totally rock that skull thing.

Ugh. I hate guitars that are not quite other guitars.

Liiiike, this is not quite a firebird.

Word of advice. Do NOT look at the rest of the ESP line….

It's this one.



The color scheme is not wild or anything but I wasn't even looking to buy a guitar, I used it to demo an amp and ended up buying the guitar and saying fuck the amp.

[Mojo]

I don't think I'm going to be able to resist one of these new Gretsch beauties with P90's. I've been wanting P90's and holy shit, are these gorgeous.

[sirthx2]

New addition to the family. 2023 Jazzmaster American Pro II. Growing up hating these, and anything else that might remind me of Elvis Costello.

[Grendel]

I don't typically like those, but that one is pretty.

[sirthx2]

Agreed. I've become as much a collector as player and as a collector trying to check as many boxes as possible. The history of the Jazzmaster is pretty interesting so doing a deep-dive into that pushed me to pick one up.

[Mojo]

I really like that. Beautiful.

[sirthx2]

Danke!

Liar! You're leaving badass pointy metal guitars intentionally bypassed and its not cool.

My wife has a 'no weapons in the house' policy. I'd feel bad keeping a Warlock in the garage.

Thats what you get when you let the libs overrun a state.
