    Thanks Quattroste, theyre not strictly P90's though. Theyre actually weird pickups only found on that one and, wait for it, the Billy Jo Armstrong Speers or whatever his name is dude from Greenday's LP Junior signature. Theyre H-90's!! Stacked P90's apparently, with push pulls on the tone knobs for coil splitting, so P90 tone in coil split mode or humbuckerish tone on normal setting. It does sound lovley, more cutting than a humbucker on either setting, the P90 sound is very good, the humbucker sound is good, little less balls than a full humbucker but nearly there, less muddy overall. Ive kind of slowly moved away from humbuckers over the last while, even the semi has SD Phat Cats- P90's in humbucker format. Ive kind of toyed with the idea of sticking Lollar P90s in the LP, only a completely non necessary notion though!


    Stacked P90's. Thats interesting, didn't know that.

    Hmm, it was very much an aside and a comment on the photo, didn't really come across as advertising or anything. It's up to fey and co of course, but I personally wouldn't read anything into that one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,658 ✭✭✭Patricide


    Yea i know, didnt mean to overstep me boundrys hahaha, yea my ban was a fair bit more justified alright haha. My bad just one of those days.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,172 ✭✭✭Don1


    I just meant that they are currently part of my collection, but won't be for much longer. That is all.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 513 ✭✭✭boycey


    That is a sweet sweet tele Don1. It almost makes up for the Limp Bizkit sticker on the strat!! Almost..

    As I explained in another thread with that pic in it, I've had that since I was 17, now 25, and a lot of the stickers can be explained away by a teenagers tastes! :D I asked forgiveness there too! You'll also notice that it says "f*ck" just in front of them! :D

    Cheers for the Tele compliment though. Should here it going either straight into a Marshall (creamy) or through a (unfortunately only modelled) Mesa Dual Recto (loud as hell)


  • Registered Users Posts: 484 ✭✭happydayz182


    How much did the G&L tele set you back and can you only buy them online...They look amazing


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,817 ✭✭✭✭Dord


    Nice Jazz! :cool:

    Derrick Nelson is putting together my new Jazz for me, brought the parts out there yesterday. I'm super excited. It's oldschool with a modern twist. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,189 ✭✭✭Royale with Cheese


    What kind of pickups are you using? I might upgrade the pickups on mine at some stage. No idea what to get really. Noiseless ones would be nice I suppose, not really interested in the vintage tone though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,817 ✭✭✭✭Dord


    Ahhh, all will be revealed soon......mmMmwhahahhahahaha.... :)

    Wait for a few weeks on the pickups selection, you'll like what you see. ;)

    I paid €1700 for mine. I know, I was ripped off, given today's prices. I have seen the odd USA G&L in Ireland but it's usualy only a fairly basic one. Never seen a deluxe in a shop here. Mine was bought in Ad Lib music in Carlow though, never used, sold, never used and sold. The first guy got it as a gift and was afraid to play it as a beginer. The second guy bought it off him as a favour but didn't really want it, so it was as new including shiny new strings when I got it.

    Get some regular strings on there, stat! :pac:

    Good. It's bordering on a Smell The Glove level of blackness there :D

    That's the RG I craved for years!!! That exact finish, neck and all! :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,817 ✭✭✭✭Dord


    Ahh don't paint it! It looks great as is. :cool:

    LOL

    I actually prefered the stock pickups on my SX strat after I changed em out. I still have the pickguard loaded with the pickups and pots. No longer have the guitar though, I sold it to someone on here.

    Yeh the stock SX is actually a surprisingly nice guitar for the money. Nice neck on it too.

    Was thinking of buying a good tele once I get back working after finals are finished and I'm actually tempted to just buy a cheap SX one after playing my strat for the first time in years instead of splashing out a few hundred for a Fender (which would only be used for recording bits and pieces in my bedroom...)

    So so shiny, you definitely take good care of your gear. That lp is immaculate, not a fan of lps, but.......sweet.

    It really is, you cant appreciate it fully until you see it! The pictures dont do it justice.

    I do try to keep them in good shape alright. The only ones with battle scars are the Epi Les Paul (not in picture, huge sentimental value) and the B50 Bass (far left, set on fire at gig by brother :rolleyes:.) Aye I do think the LP does look great, and like I mentioned the pictures cant do the hardware, inlays or finish any justice. :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,817 ✭✭✭✭Dord


    Very nice. You need another green guitar though. :p

    I'd love to get this finish with a Tele copy of mine, was the sanding done with an electric sander or by hand? How hard would it be to sand all those tricky areas like the cutaways etc?

    You'll need a hand sander and a very shaky hand :)

    Did it using an electric sander (one of the big yokes) which is why I got lazy and didn't do the rest of it, would have needed to find the pads for the smaller sander.

    I did it before on a Les Paul copy which turned out well but that has a lot less nooks and crannies.

    Sure you could do the front and back with the big sander and then use a smaller mouse type sander for the cutaways. Might need to do some of the bits by hand though to get into them. You could try one of those little curved block things you put the sandpaper around.

    Make sure to take photos before, during and after :D

    Ahah. You can see what I was meant to be doing instead of taking photos there.

    With the shadows and stuff this is a great picture. The Gretsch itself is a real piece of art. Very nice Ravelleman. So this is what Gretsch GAS feel like.....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,896 ✭✭✭fish-head


    Welcome to a whole new world, Quattroste!

    Loving the Annie muchly, Ravelleman..

    I'm glad I could inspire you guys. It's normally me that''s lusting after other people's stuff. But I guess it's like that for everyone. I want it all.

    Patricide, it doesn't have a sustainer. To be honest, I doubt I'd use it.
