That's gorgeous. And it's miles away from 'bedroom volume'.
Tone is in the loudness.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.
Brian, those tones are excellent! Yes, that R7 will give Danny rhegrett later on for sure

My perspective was from the one who has sold, always for excellent reason, many things that I wish now I could have kept. But at the time, selling was indeed the very right thing to do. Case in point will always be Trini Lopez.
Regardless of my Gewurztraminer waffling, that specific R7 is a great example of the Les Paul.

I can relate to that. The immaculate 'Edge'-like Explorer I paid 350 quid for. Had a massive neck so didn't stay. I'd love that guitar today. And so many others...
Love those!! I have mid 60's T Tops in this, but with new Throbak magnets. Excellent improvement.

Exactly like that, yes.. As you say, they were all sold for a reason and that reason back in the day was most likely financial. Things were far more hand-to-mouth then.
Well, when you get yourself up here for a gear fest I'll bring this along - the neck is indeed massive. Almost ridiculously so.

That's how I remember mine. Probably seemed especially so since most other guitars around at the time were razor thin Ibanez RGs etc. Probably told myself it was an 'old-arse' guitar... Well, I was stupid and had the perm to prove it.
My close-to-dream solo tone is on Roger Waters In The Flesh Live album. Have a listen to the solo on Another Brick In The Wall pt 2. Dave Kilminster, his guitarist, plays a tele through a Brunetti amp with a Hermida Zendrive on. It's gorgeous.
