The Sam Ash on Sunset in Hollywood. I've thought about naming the guitar "Sunny" or "Beverly" because of where I found her.
baaahahahahaha I see what you did there.

Yeah that's what tends to happen with these.
Les Pauls are hit and miss with me but Eclipses are very consistent and they're less expensive while still being fabulous instruments.

Re: NGD - what should I name her?
I went through the guitar's guts tonight and to my surprise it's got 500k B-taper pots which if I'm not mistaken are log taper.
That explains why the guitar is a teensy bit on the bright side. It sounds great overall, I just need to beef up the sound a tad. I never did like JB's with 500K pots. I'll see if I can get the local tech to install some 300's or 250's with an audio taper and change the cap to something nicer, like an Orange Drop.
That and I've gotta change the strings - Dunlop .010-.050 Heavy Cores seem like they'd be a nice choice for this axe.
I might change the bridge pickup to the Antiquity JB eventually for a bit of a smoothed out sound on the bridge, but overall the guitar sounds killer - can't wait to get this thing REALLY dialed in.

Is that what you're using in a Les Paul or similar?
Yeah they're the only other strings I really like enough to use regularly other than D'addario.

You owe yourself to try out some Pyramid strings if you haven't already.

I've actually never heard of those. I'll check into them.

Re: NGD - what should I name her?
I name my guitars after a feature they have (usually color) like Baby Blue (ice blue metallic) Big Red (frost(?) red metallic) Annie (Used to have a big Anarchy sticker near the bridge) Honey Child (my honey colored acoustic) etc. etc. Amber Lynn sounds like a pretty sweet name but IMHO you should try something exotic like, for instance, Gertrude.

Good to know. Were you running 500k or 250s?
I remember trying the C5 and being just so-so about it. The C8 was better but lacked a certain personality. The JB8 was good save for the fact that it was a tad hot and tended to fatigue the ears...
Oh crap here I go again.
