Please stop posting photos one one pickup - old school pickguard Gibsons. It does me no favours.


It hadn't really struck me that so many of my favourites were one-pickup guitars until I posted those pics.  I do actually like neck pickups too.  (If it's any consolation, the Jr is only an Epiphone, not a Gibson).

I like your Parker, by the way.  The mahogany finish and cream/zebra pickups give it less of a hi-tech look.

BKPs I've Got:  RR, BKP-91, ITs, VHII, CS set, Emeralds
BKPs I Had:  RY+Abraxas, Crawlers, BD+SM

Cheers. I did want to sort of, roots-ify that Parker. It's covered in dings and scr@ps too that you can;t see there, tat make it even more of a workhorse-lookin' guitar in person.

I bloody love the cream/zebra combo now. It'll probably be what I'll put on every guitar it'll suit at all henceforth.

No Andy the Blue one has Slowhands. Very very nice but the 1970's one is the one I go to.

Yeah bro, first set of BKP's I got were secondhand set of nailbombs in Zebra, didnt think I'd like them much but got them chucked them in my epi LP and they looked awesome. I've changed them over to my Jackson Scott Ian Sig now, doesnt quite suit it looks wise, slowly growing on me tho, but fully suits it soundwise.

Pics from before I swapped all my pickups around.
The Jacksons probably my favourite at the moment, love the weight and balance of it and the unfinished neck.
Only problem is I havent been playing it much lately cos I'm mostly playing 80s thrash metal and need a whammy so have  been using my kramer and RG550 more
that LP in the pic is great for an epiphone, nice thin neck, always sounded awesome, was the first proper guitar i got so probably gets bonus points for that
When i got my silverburst SG i thought it would be my favourite jsut from always liking SG's and Silverbursts, but just didnt pan out that way. Still great though, but the jackson is just a little better in pretty much every way.

See, I quite specifically meant the cream bridge, reverse-zebra neck. You don't see it so often and I think it looks absolutely marvelous. It suits WAY less guitars that normal zebras though.
