NGD - I LIKE GOOOOOOOLD

Post by finboy »

'72 deluxe, yes i still have the original pickups and am deciding what guitar to put those in, but this thing will be getting a nice set of p90's. it sounds nice unplugged, but is lighter than the 1980 i bought a couple of weeks ago, here are some pics of it with its sibling. I had to trade my SG classic plus cash, but totally worth it IMO

Goodness - that's everso nice. Why no love for the minihums, though?

when i saw that my first thought was SOCIAL DISTORTION@!
When i saw them live years and years ago i realized we used the exact same live setup and i had never even checked into what he used.
all he had was a boss od-1, his guitar and his bassman.
while i was using a tele with p-90s and not a les paul, everything else was the same. Loves me some good ole social d.

I love gold tops, and I have newfound respect for deluxe series. I just stickied my 77 goldtop at the top of this page earlier in the week.
How about a mini in the bridge and p90 in the neck position?

I like them both. I read that PAF-style minihum sounds better in the neck position, in my Epiphone Wilshire 66 reissue I liked the neck pickup more than the bridge one. Just my 2 cents if you want to match p90 with minibucker. And I can only guess and dream about how Gibson PAF-style minis would sound in a good semihollow like Sheraton or Riviera.

That is the Perfect les paul in my opinion

I love everything about it. The wear and checking is just beautiful
