Still the Slowhands. However, my dad got me a guitar without my knowledge. It's a strat copy, so maybe Irish Tours aren't too far off.

I'll be accepting commission cheques made out to cash, tim...

:lol:

just kidding, as he says, mark was here long before I was.

To be fair, I was here before either of you. And you don't even own any BKPs... Which of course means that I'm entitled to just as much commission as you are, despite having mentioned BPK on UG somewhere in the region of twice.

Although some people might be thinking of the forum on http://www.ultimate-guitar.com but I am not sure.

Or loads of people are going under different aliases... :P

No problem in asking the question tho

RorySRV,

ANOTHER QUESTION:

Ok, so I'm considering a HSS setup for added versatility. The Slowhands are given. But what to put in the bridge?

In terms of sound, I'm looking a ZZ Top, George Thorogood, Skynyrd tone. Southern/Blues rock, I guess.

What would you guys suggest for that? I was thinking Black Dog, but I really don't know. Advise please.

EDIT: Oh, is it possible to get a prewired HSS pickguard?

RorySRV · « **Reply #22 on:** November 17, 2006, 08:09:48 AM »

I am probably not the best guy to recommend a set because I havent had that much experience of BKPs but I will stick my neck out and say:

A Black Dog or Mule and 2 Slowhands.

And I am guessing you should be able to get prewired HSS guards if you can get prewired SSS guards but it might cost you a bit more. But you will have to email Tim on that one

Hope this helps

Spoke to Tim ages ago and mentioned ZZ Top style tone (pre eliminator)and the suggestion was for The Mule (though the guitar was a wolfgang)

As for George Thorgood, I would say some variation of the P90 would be most appropiate.

Thanks for the input everyone.

But, like boys with toys, new things just come up or spring to mind.

I was also thinking about a Les Paul type guitar. Yeah, that means I have another question!

Ok, you know the styles. Blues Rock/Southern Rock/Post-Rock.

Oh, and for those of you who don't know what Post-Rock is, here's one of my favorite Post-Rock bands. Explosions In The Sky. http://www.myspace.com/texasband
Listen to "Your Hand In Mine," it's my favorite.

ANYWAY, you can tell by that that I need great cleans as well. So my plan is a Mississippi Queen in the neck for those Thorogood sounds, and I'm asking you guys what would be good in the bridge.

ADVISE PLEASE.

Thanks in advance guys.
