2 Gibson - LP and SG.
3 Firefly - Flying V, Explorer, and Jazzmaster styles.

Glad you're still around, John! I was wondering about you... Cheers!

@BatUtilityBelt @tobijohn Just a totally unrelated question that just came to me: do you both also write left-handed?

Being aware of the "fine line" mentioned before, and that I'm a foreign person who might not have the whole picture and, therefore, being at a risk of that what I'd wrongly think is a humorous or neutral comment might turn things in a wrong direction, I decided I'd just seat and watch here...

Boss ME-90: unless you are going direct, have a Boss Katana or an FRFR speaker, don't buy it. Boss has designed it so it uses IRs to sound great direct, and also has special EQ to sound good going into a Katana power amp in but the EQs they provide when you want to use any other guitar amp suck str...

Any chance of getting a Jaguar bass like you had? This is the one I used to have. I really liked it, but I sold it to pay for other gear. They aren't making this exact model any more, but they do appear on the used market pretty often. (The one I had was 30" scale and had a painted headstock; ...

If I could get a Les Paul that agrees with me, that's be good. But honestly, playing the other night has me thinking Charvel SoCal. My Wolfgang Std was playing great, and while I like the decked Floyd, a floating Floyd wiyh a maple board with 22 frets and a compound radius would be nice too. And I ...

Cool. Another "interestingly shaped" guitar that Ibanez, for sure!

What's that guitar - or those guitars - you think you want or need in your collection to be complete? I'm lucky, I think I've been at "complete" for some time now, so I wasn't going to take part in this conversation. I just don't have any bucket list guitars left to acquire. But I still l...

That would be just awesome if it happened!

Cool. I'm sure they will eventually be hanging on one of your studio walls...

Nice. Had to google the A20. Unique model shape!

A proper Les Paul. I mean, I have a Les Paul-ish, Zemaitis-ish guitar but sometimes I want a regular Les Paul. Although I might need one with humbuckers and one with P90s or minihumbuckers. Or all three. And I still sometimes miss the Jaguar bass I traded away a while back. Interesting... A proper ...

I don't need any more guitars. But I'd like to get: A baritone. I need to get a baritone conversion neck from Warmoth for one of my Strats. And a Jaguar. For that 24" scale. Nice. Will it happen this year? And what kind of songs can you play with a baritone guitar? I know I can google it, but,...

Simple question. What's that guitar - or those guitars - you think you want or need in your collection to be complete? (Well, I don't think we really "need" guitars, right? Guitarists have no use for that verb, we just want ) So, what are those? From my latest conversations here, I think I...

Twang?

no, Twang is not nrussel.

Yeah I know Twang isn't Nick (NRussell)...I was talking about the Amp builder who did pickguards...

Ok, sorry, I mixed it. Yes, you're right, Twang was/is the amp guy.

@andrewsrea This guy? https://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?search/14107140/&c[users]=nrussell23&o=relevance No posts since 2014. That's him, and he hasn't posted here since January 2021. And this is a tangent, but also bleys21 hasn´t posted in a while - he was very active -, last act...

My brain remembers him as being an amp builder and pickguard maker and living in one of the Dakota states.

I believe he was going through some serious health issues like 2 or 3 years ago - could be more -; he's been absent since then.

They have more drive and grit and "bark" than any other single coil, and they have more clarity and chime than almost any humbucker. Their one weakness is that they pick up a lot of electrical noise. Agree. @BatUtilityBelt how would you compare P100s to P90s? I don't hear much about P100s...

No secret that my all time favorite guitar is my Les Paul Goldtop with P90s. You mentioned P90 not being the classis Les Paul sound but remember the first Les Paul guitars were equipped with P90s so they are the "classic" Les Paul sound. For some reason P90's just seem to be more pleasing...

I love P90s and Les Pauls with P90s! To me, they're like a very raw, aggressive humbucker with a lot of clarity. I wouldn't exactly call them "in between" a Strat-style single coil and a humbucker - they are their own thing - but I understand the comparison. They have more drive and grit ...

Disclaimer: I think everyone will have a personalized take on this, and I don't think there's any right or wrong, just individual experience. These are just mine. P90s and P100s are my favorite pickups. To me, they tend to sound a little fatter than others, and a bit untamed. That makes them fun fo...

If I'm alive and know the end is near, then I'll likely give it away to friends and family and donate the rest. My son has no interest in guitars, but seems to have hoarder tendencies, so I'll relieve him of that burden. Otherwise, I guess it doesn't really matter what happens to it after I'm gone....

I remember this. The guy was brilliant and used to post full on amp-porn photos of his handwired/homebuilt amps and the circuits & wiring were amazing. He was kind of a cranky SOB but had amazing skills. I don't think he sold any of them, at least not on the forum. And then unforunately he snap...

Love the guitar intertwining and interweaving (twno new words for me!; I'd have said "the conversation between the guitars" haha). I actually like songs like that much better, with guitars "talking to each other" throughout the song, not only to show up in the solo and then there...
