Playing with friends today

It works. Does what they say. Sounds like a P-90 and all, but. I’m a geezer with too much time on my hands. If there’s one thing I’m sure about: it’s my opinions!

Well, at least not in the neck position as 5% underwound in this particular guitar. Initially fine, but as I lived with it a while I started noticing I was trying to dial out a bit of “fragile” high end. I asked if there was any problem shunting off the dummy coil. Turns out they just reverse...

Tinkering and playing

I can hear something in the treble freqs that requires judicious dialing out: Lindy Fralin HC90 It sounds good, but I ordered a standard P-90 from him to replace it anyway. Having a hidden coil takes something away I can’t quite put my finger on, but can hear. $125. Again, not a bad sounding...

Nice. Thanks!

Today’s music crimes scene

When I was playing outdoor concert volume rock&roll, Ampeg V4, 4X12, and a Telecaster. Awesome rig at the time. Those days are long gone, but the tinnitus remains. Best sounding? Now, by far! Quilter Aviator, and a slab P-90 (in two iterations):

Get to play with a world class fiddle player this afternoon. Taking this:

Certainly have, repeatedly. They’re like Tribles (old Star Trek episode). They breed like them. I’m always cutting back and thinning the stable. Then my GAS addiction sees “something I’ve always wanted!” At the current moment I’ve mercilessly cut it down to just two: But one on order is coming...

One would hope so! :unsure:

Desert Star. LtDave over at MLP makes them. Black nitro, then an iridescent grain filler. Dog hair finish.

Had the lineup. Better take a shot. I’m just a lucky so and so

No. Regular production Special c 2018. Not the vintage version. Has circuit board mounted pots, Nashville TOM bridge, etc. Extremely light belly carve contour. I’ve had Tributes, and also the current production TV Yellow ‘57, w neck binding, wrap tail, and hand wired controls. Though it was a...

Jeez this thing sings through the Quilter amp

Me too. I like the bigger necks, vs slim fast ‘60’s.

Not all SG’s suffer with this. I’ve had some that did, and were a pain sometimes. Also had about an equal number that were zero or negligible. Some need a leather strap and caution. Some are fine with nylon web (Earnie Ball) type straps. No neck dive on this one, even with Grover machines:

Can’t seem to keep my mitts off her:

Nice avulsion. So, you can say you were in a knife fight.
