I was just tallying up the number of guitars I have purchased in the last 2 years and was a little taken aback. I feel a bit more "normal" thanks to this post. LOL! Seriously, nice haul! ADD nightmare for me, all that at once, what in the hay to play??? :)
I just spun his Christmas record on the turntable a few days ago. My new favorite "classic" Christmas album! Thanks for the post, never thought to check youtube...duh!!
I use it as my secret weapon. If I am playing a gig and the energy is low for the first set, I put away the Strat and pull out the 135th Gold Anniversary and boom...I'm back in charge!! LOL!
Custom Shop would charge $300 for that chip!! I would leave it myself to document the history of the guitar. You would have to find someone who really knows wood and stain to match that. Better hurry, someone might snag it!! LOL!
HS are a bit more powerful and Gretschie to my ear. The TV Jones have a little more 3D action to them. I have and appreciated both options. I personally would not "upgrade" a guitar equipped with HS pups. (not unless I was trying to take the guitar in a different direction for some reason.)
Turkey in the oven and hours before the glutenous family time, I get a break in the routine to play with my Gretsch guitars! Dust off some Christmas songs with the Chet, the duo got a full cleaning/maintenance and the 135th has a sitar issue across the bridge that I'll dig into. All the while...
This is about as subjective a topic that we can have! LOL! Speaking only to sound, I find that my favorite vinyl records that I purchased when they were more current always fall short on CD. I believe that this is primarily due to the remastering that is done for whatever reason for the new...
Some come in, some go out. It is really an organic process. I usually peak at 10 guitars but almost never have less than 5. Every purchase and every sale seemed to make complete sense to me at the time! :)
1st outing with the new 135th Anni. Worked really well! Vintage Sound amp, few Boss pedals and a mini wah for that 3rd hour and I'm running out of stuff to say. LOL! I don't use the compressor with the filters, I use that when I bring a Strat. The Strat may not see much stage time for awhile...
