Same as yesterday, but now with fresh strings, Fs-1’d the fretboard, set it up to my preferences.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I had a Mesa Quad into a stereo 295, back in the day. Loud.

My 2001 MIK goldtop is great. Now my MIC Epi’s from the last couple years are at the same level, and probably older than those are too.

Cool! I suspect you’ll find it’s a keeper! Epiphone has improved every thing over the years. They have their own factories, and build their own components now. I’m very impressed by my four!

It’s stellar! Unique sounding. The mini hums are crisp and the fretwork is spot on perfect. The Epi P-90’s on my ebony custom are wonderful pickups. I once had a sixties Kalamazoo made Casino: also MIJ, MIK, and Chinese. The imports always seemed like very good copies. I’ll probably grab a...

Years ago I campaigned an old Showman head through a JBL D-120, for a long time. Finally SS stuff got good enough. Had a Tech 21 head with a great effects loop. I could put a GX processor in the loop and floor switch the loop off while I changed patches. Had a volume pedal on the processor so I...

My latest acquisition gets new strings and adjustments, then some play:

Already put up a pic or two of this warhorse in the Telecaster thread, but it was the best working self-assembled guitar I ever cobbled together from parts, out of a half dozen attempts to get under factory guitar prices: It started when a great local Santa Cruz, CA player and friend Billy...

My last self-assembled partsocaster was my workhorse for a dozen plus years of end-of-career gigging in local clubs. Fender CS ‘51 Nocaster pickups really covered a lot of ground. I loved it, but left it behind for shorter scale length guitars as the arthritis encroaches my claws.

My 50w Quilter Aviator Cub 112. 21 lbs of Deluxe sounds.

Currently building my Epiphone stable, but in the meantime I always love my Gibson.

Now playing nursing homes, but I used to play small local bar&grills for TENS of dollars!
