Not fair though...The split tonez on a Yamaha SG are so good that they make the humbucked tone sound like poop.

Some of the best open and split 'bucky tones I ever got were when I put a BigMouth in the Emily SG's bridge position. By the looks of it you'd think it would be all Cookie Monster high gain and compressed/midrangey, but as a humbucker it was just bright and really loud. When split, it sounded like a...

Submarine pickup.

I don't remember seeing a thrad on this thing. Looks like it could take time to find a dual output/FX thingy-of-choice balance work right, but would sure be fun to mess about with.

And speaking of the 2018 line-up...

Moody's has lined-up Gibson for 2018 to a lower Caa3 rating (dropping the 2nd time in 16 months + "negative outlook") , with a juicy $520,000,000 debt to roll over, Beethoven Henry. LANK

Although I've never played an LP Studio that sounded decent through a clean amp, that first Studio has a nice coupletoanz and a nice old Gibson acoustic sunburst glow about it + seems to be smelling of stale Coors and WD-40.

Gold Top Classic looks and sounds great.

Yeah the long scale with P90s sounds like some snappy good fun. Reminds me, I messed about with a Loar LH-301T at the Cerritos Guitar Center this past January and realized how much fun it was to play something so lightweight and punchy sounding, despite feeling quite cheap as well. http://www.guitar...

The Apprehension Engine

When I first bought the Tonehammer Frendo for Kontakt years ago while doing some spooky independent film scoring I enjoyed the mess of hideous string friction and clanks it came with, but something like this remarkably organic sounding suite of goodies is gorgeous, and is a thing I'd love to commiss...

Poplar body or whatever, damn that's cheap. At that price you can buy a bunch and sell off all but the one that plays well.

I'm convinced that the new Duo Sonic HS models simply do not have all anything in place close to what this thing can already do (fecal humbucker toanz notwithstanding), and Fender really needs to be petitioned to at lea...

And in the spirit of doing away with the aforementioned poopy humbucker, I finally had Jarmie dropped off at Pops Semoon's place with sparkly bridge-position TV-Jones Magnatron, old 5-way Varitone pot for more-than-a-coupletoanz, and a sheet of GFS tort and white 3-ply to round out Patty Labelle's N...
