Played some more today. Getting used to it. I'm fairly adaptable. String gauge, neck scale, whatever. Same here. The plucking on the top would age one of my guitars pretty quick though. Maybe just my sitting posture. We'll see. Was refreshing Wish You Were Here today. Using the regular...

Go ahead. Can;t hurt. But as an old man who has modded pickups, been there, done that, this ain't gonna do it. Not saying there is not something to be learned from the experience. I agree that way too many people go full pup swap when some poles or a mag will really address the issue. I...

I can see that. I can see you trading it for V in 6 months too. :D

But again, that isn't necessarily a jump in heat. But my ears are tempered to differences like PG to Distortion, not Seth/59/PG

Again - we have a 90% problem and we are recommending 10% fixes. This is fundamentally the wrong pickup for this player/guitar.

So, still time to go to Pheonix and shop around?

I did. Obviously an odd departure for a guy who has 35 guitars but only used Dunlop Yellow Tortex and Dunlop 1mm Max-grip for acoustic... Felt unusual, obviously. Worked fine. Kind of really liked how it slid of the strings. Also think it would slide of my fingers with the least amount of...

As someone who owns six actual Les Pauls, Oh they do...they do indeed. Would not hesitate!

So a month in - how is it going? My first real amp was a Peavey classic 212 circa 1978, which lead to my love of Tremolo. Currently I have a Classic 30. You can find a foot switch for that on the intarwebz.

Saw these online and just had to try them. 3mm Turquoise

I don't get a boner over Washburn Strats - but that is a helluva win!

They seem like awesome guitars. There is a faded cherry one near me I'm trying not to buy. Seems like they are approaching Elitist levels of quality on those. If you have never played an Elite/elitist...there were amazing at a $1k price point. If I were Gibson management - I'd have never of...

Well, I'm late to the party, but I'll talk anyway: Go to the GC - make a day of it. Hit pawn shops too! Only way to really figure out what works for you. #1 Yamaha even at budget levels has never let me down. See Pawn Shops. I have the cheapest 12st they make from 2010 maybe? Never lets...

They (whoever they is) had me thinking about them for an SG project, but they (them, again) never really made the sale. I'm gonna stick with Whole Lottas

Without thinking har4d, Quarter Pound leaps to mind immediately.
