NGD: You'll laugh...

Post by Darth Sabbathi »

My plan was that my next guitar would be something different, something I hadn't played before. A Jazzmaster, maybe a Gretsch. Something not Gibson.

And what did I get? :mental:

I think I may have a problem... But fuck it, this is cool. Wildwood spec custom shop 61. I was a bit skeptical about the wildwood 'custom wound' custom buckers (custom customs?), but they actually sound great. I slightly prefer the neck profile on my cherry CS, but this one sounds nicer.

Here's a group shot:

I don't see a problem.

Black
Cherry
Natural
P90

Good variety.

Just need a white triple bucker custom, and maybe a maple cap supreme.

As an acoustic player in my youth, I had a Martin D28. Four times over the years, I went shopping for something different.
Every time, without fail, I came home with a Rosewood dreadnaught. :roll:
A gaggle of SGs......... very cool. :thumbup:

If i was going to collect a particular guitar, it would have to be SG. I think you still have room for one with a maple neck

Yep, it was on TM for a while. I acquired from the truly marvellous Troy (Jelly Belly).

The black one is a 2013 standard. I was briefly trying to sell it, then came to my senses!

Not sure about a maple neck... maybe ebony. Think I'm sorted for now. Until a vintage PAF loaded '61 comes along... :wink:
