Now that's just crazy talk. I'd love to add a 5E3 or Tremolux one day, I love those tweed amps, but the Dr.Z will likely remain my main live amp until either oneof us dies. I really love that amp.DarcyPerry wrote:... you might want to try a different amp too?

Re: Guitar Mindsets
Growing up I thought Strats were where it's at, but as I picked the guitar up I could never find that ....sharpness. Had a jam on a Jackson & a Charvel and that was me. Then I got to play a GL ESP and thought that was the cool as. My recent ESP MII seems to be a good combination of them all so i guess I stuck with the metal as mindset.

Re: Guitar Mindsets
I always think of myself as a reach for a LP as my go to guitar, so I will always have an LP around. But really I love all sorts of guitars if they are well made (be it in a chinese sweat shop to a US custom shop etc). I just wish I had the disposable income to collect them all. Like Pokemon...

Yeah, me too. I don't think I could ever be happy with just one kind of guitar.Scooter13 wrote:I always think of myself as a reach for a LP as my go to guitar, so I will always have an LP around.

Re: Guitar Mindsets
I notice I use different guitars for recording, but stick to the same ones when playing.
Guitar Mindsets
This:
That of course led me to a superstrat mindset, and I still have that to an extent. I think it's broadened substantially though.
... But I'd still have trouble forcing myself to have an LP
I was always strat >> LP in my mindset - even though three of my main influences were LP guys (Billy Gibbons, Brian Robertson, Scott Gorham) - but once I discovered humbuckers (specifically a DiMarzio Super Distortion from my guitar teacher) it had to have that.ash wrote:I find strats get boring after about 20 minutes unless humbuckered. A ballsy bridge humbucker on anything is my main prerequisite and any kind of tonal variety is a bonus. So I guess that make my mindset "anything but a standard strat".

Re: Guitar Mindsets
This is the other one we've got in the shop, an AS103:
Just playing it this morning and I'm covinced that I need something like this. So sweet for Jazz but can still cut it for rockin out.
Only things I don't like about this one are:
- wooden knobs - easily changed
- 'wood look' pickguard - can be changed if I can find one that fits - I gotta have a pickguard on an archtop or else i feel like I'm going to smack into the strings on the upstrum
- an overly glossy neck which is a bit sticky - maybe I could sand it back a bit.
Also, this one's a bit more pricey, $1800 ish retail. Beautiful sounding pickups on it though. So sweet. Can't afford this one right now, not without selling something, and I don't think I'm gonna do that, but something like this is definitely on my GAS list.

Re: Guitar Mindsets
The blue one's pretty cool. No pickguard though, and I'm not sure where I'd get a pickguard for it from. Also I don't think that one has the nice pickups the AS103 has.

For an extra $50 he can sand it off for you.

Well done, hamo. That was exactly my intent!! (not the sanding part, of course)

Re: Guitar Mindsets
No. But it's good enough for George Benson, Pat Metheny and John Schofield, so I think I could probably humble myself to that level. I can't afford a Gibson. Plus I don't want the headstock to break off.Rog wrote:Do you have one without Ibanez on the headstock?

OK, I've heard of Benson - he was in Soap. Who are the others?
