If that were MY rig, I'd probably ditch every guitar except the Les Paul, and add some more "metal" guitars.
 
Re: This is your rig. What would *you* do with it?

Here we go,guitars:keep the LP sell everything and buy a MIA strat
Amps: Keep SR 65 reissue
effects:keep CS2-BD2-TU2-Hot vake-Teese Wah-Rockman

Get rid of everything else.
 
Re: This is your rig. What would *you* do with it?

sell all of it but the paul, the vox, the tele, the dc-5, the cab, maybe a few pedals, and buy an el camino mind condition just for starters. i know there's better out there but i've always loved those cars. and i'd also buy a shag'n wagon just to drive to school and keep home :banana: . i'd customize the shag'n wagon with some cool stuff

Re: This is your rig. What would *you* do with it?

I'd for sure hold onto the LP and the tele, but would rewire each of them to suit my preferences. The tele would also get some different pickups.

I'd probably unload the two Mesa heads but keep the 2x12 cab. The rest of the amps I'd keep and update tubes as needed.

I woulnd't even know where to begin with the pedals. Many I've never tried, so I can't say whether or not I'd fins use for them. Others, like the modded TSs and overdrive pedals, I would probably hold on to.

Than rock the hell out with that AC 30
 
Re: This is your rig. What would *you* do with it?

Sell everything but the Les Paul, Strat, ES-333 and Mesa's. Mod the Strat for a H-S-H pickups, and put a floyd on it. With the money made buy an SG and load it with some duncans.
