When it's good, it's good.  8)

Yep :) I've tried a few pickups in my SG and the best bridge pickup so far is the stock Gibson one! Kind of want to try a MQ to match the neck but the tapped Pig 90 was very underwhelming..

A very nice bunch of guitars you have there, Twinfan. I have a huge tele gas, and have an eye open when a right one drops in my lap.

Nearly 9000 posts and doesn't have a single BKP in his collection :shock:

I'm kidding around but you DO need a BKP equipped guitar

And a couple of Fenders, PRS.... but Francine's gone, surely there should be one Gibson?

Nah, the PRS covers the twin humbucker base.  I've had P90s before and like the sound of them, but not for the music I play.

You might quite like the 4 or 5 Knaggs that just appeared in Sounds Great.
I hated the look of the first launch of their stuff.
But this stuff looks great. There's a single cut in the same colour as your Modern Eagle that looks pretty darn good

Yeah, Knaggs guitars are starting to grow on me.  The first few I saw seemed too fussy looking, but with simpler finishes they look good.

They've reviewed two in the latest Guitarist, the Strat-ish one (Severn) looks pretty cool.  I don't like the combined bridge/tailpiece on the Les Paul type, though (and it is rather similar to Hamer's Monaco models).

Interesting that they're using Duncan pickups.  I'd have expected something in-house, or at least something more "boutique" like Fralin or Lollar.

And now the McCarty Korina has gone, so that's just 5 guitars in the house  :o

The clearout has been strangely addictive, and incredibly satisfying, so now it's time to focus on playing!

I know what you mean mate. When I went from 8 down to 2 it felt good! Obviously I'm just a one guitar man at the moment but I reckon I'll never get above 3 in future.

It's strangely liberating, and a lot cheaper on strings!!!

Ha - and a lot less time consuming! It certainly didn't help me become a better guitarist though!

+1

Less quantity but more quality rules.

Same goes for furniture, plugins in DAWs, lovers and booze. Ok, maybe not booze  :lol:
