Re: Show Us Your Guitar
I've always been an acoustic player first, but playing electric allows me to have friends.
I never used to play electric at home but these two have changed all that. Combined with an amp and (sorry) a cable, I'm enjoying what they have to offer.
Suppose after 35 years, a man could get Fendered out......
The Arps is going to ruin me though. It weighs nothing, it sounds huge. For a well worn body (mine) that is a wondrous combination!

I love the look of that Arps. It’s very YOU too.Slowy wrote: ↑Sun Mar 05, 2023 4:29 pm I've always been an acoustic player first, but playing electric allows me to have friends.

I could be making shit up here, but my brain is telling me that the pickup being a bit forward of the usual placement for a bridge pickup would be excellent. Is it a bit more mellow than the typical bridge pickup bite?

Pretty sure I put dibs on it if I didn't I can manipulate it so that I did.
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

You will be first but please, no holding of breath, OK?

Re: Show Us Your Guitar
We look utterly ridiculous together: it's tiny, I'm not.
I don't have anything to compare it with but I've thought a lot about this one. There's enough treble in most situations. I frequently turn treble down to about 8. Only when fingerpicking the cleans you get from reduced volumes does the desire for more treble appear.
The pickup was a gift from Oleg; an inspired gift and I treasure it. I think it's a Mighty Mite. I have no idea where it sits on the strata of P90s and I don't care; I love what this one does with the guitar it's attached to!

Re: Show Us Your Guitar
Thinking about it, you're right. If you gave me a blank sheet of paper and said, 'design a guitar,' the Arps is pretty much what I'd come up with.
I just love single P90 guitars for some reason. It's a rabbit hole that takes a lot of energy to resist. Lucky for me the Arps, after a pickup swap, sounded exactly like the P90 in my head and continues to do so. Perfect guitar!

Well I guess this game is over. Actually, Black Benny seems happier these days.

Re: Show Us Your Guitar
Sad beer nerd, mentally approving of the labels and beer/cider they represent. Does look good though, you could just keep layering as you get more.
The older I get, the more disappointed in myself I become.
