just put my laney, H&K, and ESP on ebay, which may be followed by the POD as well in a few days. after ive got the cash from all this, ill be on the lookout for a new guitar. (or at least that was the plan anyway)
but now, after really thinking about what it is i want, im not so sure thats a good option for me.
In my band i play pretty much all rhythm parts, ranging from total clean through to classic rock semi-crunch to all out hard-rock metal. And whilst my p-90 is doing great for half the stuff, the slightly heavier material is just lacking that little bit of punch, and ive been on the look out for a humbucker-equipped guitar for aaages now. So i thought id look for a new axe in the £300-400+ with the intention of BKP-ing it in the future.
However; Im so used to playing my Gibson that i hate playing other peoples guitars, even my mates brand spanking new USA fender strat, (which i admit plays wonderfully), just doesnt seem right to me. So im just not sure whether a new guitar is what i really need/want. Another reason for this is that I dont like switching between guitars a lot, and really dont want to be having to re-adjust from a Gibson--> 2nd guitar in the middle of gigs. (i realise this may be odd but thats just me).
AND ive never desired to be able to switch between neck+bridge pickups at all really.
SO- getting a 2nd guitar and fitting it with BKPs would be a waste of money really (as id likely end up just playing one of the guitars and one of the pickups for pretty much all of the time)... but the catch is... i NEED a h/b.... i really do need that little bit extra as im craving it when playing other peoples axes. so my idea was- instead of spending the cash on an entirely new guitar, why not pay a luthier to route another pickup into my Gibson and BKP it. Therefore being able to have all the P-90 sounds im using at the moment, as well as all the h/b tone i would ever need, in the same guitar that im used to and love.
stupid idea?
ANY thoughts much appreciated.
cheers in advance.
