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

Re: El Toro's Official Guitarded Thread...
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.

Re: El Toro's Official Guitarded Thread...
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.

Re: El Toro's Official Guitarded Thread...
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

Re: El Toro's Official Guitarded Thread...
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.

Re: El Toro's Official Guitarded Thread...
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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
