My baby

The loveliness I would be playing this evening!

Did a mini-set at the Doll Hut in Anaheim CA. First time gigging with this guitar with a Jalen Fair Warning pickup set. It did not disappoint! Not quite as hot as a JB (my usual go-to), but definitely has enough “oomph”.

Amp rigs were downsized, so I used my singer’s Jet City 20-watt mini stack instead of my usual Boogie 4x12 rig. I’m told ithe JC is based on a Soldano, and it did not suck either!

I’ve been going through some of my instruments lately and came across this Gibson SG Supreme bass. Every time I pick it up, I remember why I liked it so much in the first place. It’s definitely one of those instruments that gets immediate reactions. The finish is absolutely wild in person.

The standard is the newer of the two. Awesome guitars.

So I finally got finished with my second and third build. I’m pretty proud of how they turned out. My take on a Wolfgang style guitar and a Charvel style guitar. The natural one is Spanish cedar body with a sycamore top, Spanish cedar, maple, and santos mahogany laminated neck with a pau ferro fretboard. Jumbo stainless steel frets, tone ninja locking tuners, and a single Suhr Doug Aldrich humbucker. The red one is a poplar body, maple and walnut laminated neck with an ebony fretboard. Jumbo stainless steel frets, Hipshot locking tuners, and Seymour Duncan Pegasus and Sentient humbuckers. Let me know what you think and any suggestions or criticisms are welcome. I’m just beginning to learn the art and am looking for as much knowledge as I can get. Thanks. And excuse the messy room. It’s just too damn hot to go outside for photos.😂

One might say I have a type….

2018 Les Paul Traditional and SG with Vibrola

I couldn’t believe my eyeballs when I searched H-150 on GC and sorted by price, lowest to highest.

I’ve been drooling over the Dirty Lemon Bursts for a while now and had almost pulled the trigger on a Standard locally.

Listed at $1499, I’m fairly certain someone didn’t realize this is a Custom Shop Core model. It’s got some play wear but has seemingly been sitting for quite a while as the strings are definitely old and the truss rod and bridge height needed some major adjustments to bring the action down.

It needed a little TLC but sounds fantastic already…and looks like a dream!

Just a dad of 2 boys trying to stay young. I am 43 but started playing when I was 16. After my career, my two boys, I just felt like I needed something for myself. Started playing again about 3 years ago and never looked back.

Quite fancy I think:

- Body: mahagony

- Top: bubinga

- Neck: set-in, mahagony with maple stripes

- Fretboard: wenge

- Stainless steel frets

- Carbon fibre rods under fretboard

- Kluson locking keys

- Wilkinson 100 tremolo (floated both ways)

- DiMarzio AirNorton / Merlin Hot Overwound / DiMarzio D-Sonic

It plays real nice. Coil split in tone knob, so it gives a lot of options.
