Love the look of all those guitars Tim, the MJT ones especially.
Also love that 335, I'm missing the sound of humbucklers at the moment

I'm in the same camp as Stewart, hardly ever move off the bridge pup, especially live.dezb1 wrote:I agree, if I have a choice of pickups I'll use them - so the guitar has to limit me, and in doing so opens up a different way of thinking... that's why I kept my melody maker in the great guitar cull of 2013.benecol wrote:I know I'm about to draw accusations of terrible m@j@ feathers, but: it's just not the same.
Nice collection Tim, I remember when you whittled it down to just a couple, soon built it back up.

Yep, numbers crept up a bit over the last year or so. I am unequivocally not allowed any more guitars.
The only thing with Edwardses is that I swear they use the same neck on all their Gibson copies (they describe it as "between 50s and 60s") - it means good as they are, I'm never interested in any of their others, as they'll have an identical neck.
I like it a lot. Compared to other 335s I've played, it's got a big neck. Compared to my other guitars (with stupid big necks) it's got a fairly slim neck. Not playing it so much lately, but I went through a stage of playing nothing but a while back. Same as my Jazzmaster; barely picked it up all summer, but can't leave it alone now.James wrote:How are you getting on with the Edwards 335?

Cheers, been playing it all night and now my fingers are sore. has some tones that my other guitars don't have - nice round hollow body sound from the mini humbucker and a rattley clangy sound from the peizo (my description of this sound looks bad written down but it's a good sound) and ofcource the metallic acoustic sound.pumpkin wrote:Nice!dezb1 wrote:New addition...

Introducing the Filtertron Family at rest.
Although a good 7 months or so with the Duo Jet on I think I'd prefer another Duo Jet a Penguin with those punchy DeArmonds, the timbre contrast I'm hearing so clearly between the above G6128 and the G6122-1962 from both structural as well simply pickup/bridge spacing clearly sets it in a very different category.
My "A-ha, this is it!!!" moment came while arranging the parts for Dal, Malhada (Moon, Talk) on FROMM's album this past summer with the Country Gent. With a little compression and slapback echo from the Zoom G.3 going into the SPL Channel1 I think was able to squeeze just enough George Harrison into the mix, or so I deceived myself having done so. Played in mid-position, w/tone switch on bypass, tried to pull off some J.Marr vibe from 3:02 to the end, and did a plucky little solo @ 1:31-1:54. Shame on the two kids who uploaded this download purchase only to youtube, but then again, that's how things go these days

Many thanks for the words, J.jcyphe wrote:I like the guitar sounds and playing on this.
And now that the cat seems to be out of the bag, I'll probably be posting a few more FROMM tracks to the Whore House sometime this week. Although the whole experience left a very bad taste in my mouth, I'm proud of how most of the tracks came out and I don't think I feel all that icky about posting them.
As for the G6122-1962 itself, here are a few glamour pics I took on the roof of our office with the Sony NX300. It's a 2010 model, but the dude before me never wiped off the hardware after fingerpicking (very obvious, from close inspection), and his sweaty hands coupled with most certainly too much exposure to Korea's summertime humidity blues both wore the gold plating off of half of the bridge and a good corner bridge pickup, and prematurely oxidized everything else. Thankfully the guitar is in really nice shape, and it SOUNDS SO GOOD...Makes me want to play nonstop Glow-era Innocence Mission and Jonny Buckland arpeggios.
I'll probably be ordering a Compton Brass bridge, but even without it the high-density bar bridge does well, albeit with too much string contact resulting in a tad less sustain. Zero fret is also an oddly new thing for me, but things do sound a tad more consistent between open and barred chords.
Hi-res for the people:
