So, long time since my last NGD. Saw this on kijiji (Canadian equivalent of Craigslist) and couldn't resist. Fender Mexico Vintera 50s strat in Sonic blue. Okay, I'll admit, I'm shallow: it was the colour that sold me. Has a 7.25 radius (my preference in Fenders). Workmanship seems really...

Sorry about the crap photo. So, long story short, I recently sold a Les Paul studio, and had some gear money. I also had a tele I never really got along with, but had bought a few years ago because it was a great deal. Took the cash from the LP and traded in the tele for this fella. Not much...

Yesterday, my local store had a black Friday sale. I got a great deal on a Slash A2 set. They were really an impulse buy, this set really hadn't been on my radar. I'm planning to put them in a 92 Lucille. Anyone have any experience with this set in a semi-hollow?

Got a line on a set of these used, reasonably priced. Anyone have any experience with them? Apparently un-oriented A5 with a more or less PAF kind of wind. Thinking about putting them in a 339 or a Lucille. Wasn't looking for anything, they just kind of popped up. Thoughts?

Actually, got this puppy a couple of months ago. Roland Blues Cube Artist. 80w, 1 x 12. Apparently, these are based on an old tweed bassman. Has two channels, clean and crunch, shared eq. Reverb and tremolo. Certainly sounds a lot like my mental image of a tweed, although I don't have any...

Maybe should have named this "Best wife ever" thread. Actually got this for my birthday in March. Been too crazy busy to do a NGD before now. Was a complete surprise. 1992 Gibson Lucille, in red. Review to come.

Hey, everyone. I have a set of Seth Lovers and a set of WLH's in two of my guitars. I thought I might post a compare/contrast review for anyone considering these pickups for their guitar. The two guitars are very similar. Both 2010 Gibson Les Pauls. One is a standard, the other a studio...

This:

2010 American Standard. Black wouldn't have been my first choice, but I wanted a maple board and I got a ridiculous deal on it. I had never gotten along with teles, but I played a friend's a month or so ago, and I was actually getting some great tones. However, I was really "on" that night, and...

So I got a set of Seth Lovers in my Les Paul, which I absolutely love. I thought about putting a set in my 339, but thought I should explore other possibilities. I mainly play cleaner jazzy stuff or mid-gain blues and blues rock. So you can see why I'm looking for something PAF-ish...

Well, a week ago. I was so stoked about getting a really good deal on a used Les Paul Studio on Black Friday, I forgot to post about the other stuff I bought. I got two pedals used, an MXR Super Badass Distortion and a tc Hall of Fame Reverb. The SB is quite a lot of fun. Nice "growly"...

Five beautiful head stocks, all made in the U.S.A. Thanks from a foreigner...you guys know how to build a guitar (and make pickups, too!)

Did something I've never done before. Bought a guitar on a whim. Went to my local L&M. No real specials on new stuff, but they were blowing out the used stuff. Got this 2011 Studio for $400 CDN (about 350 USD). A little buckle rash and a couple of dings on the bottom. It was strung with...

Finally got my guitar back from having these installed (I know, I should do it myself, but I wanted those little molex thingies put on so that I could switch pickups easily back to stock if I wanted). Anyway, I put them in my Les Paul, which is a 2010 Standard, so it's the 2008 specs (hence the...

Just ordered a set of Seth Lovers for my 2010 Les Paul Standard. The stock BB pros are okay, really, but a little hot and "modern" for my tastes. So I thought, what the hell, go for a classic-type set. Not terribly original, going with the Seths, but I don't think I've ever heard a bad word...
