You just need more hiding places

eDave · 08-01-2017, 10:05 PM

I do like the Tele. That's my next GAS purchase. Had a white MIM a long time ago. Lost it.

So I've been lusting for another Gibson to add to my stable. I couldn't decide between a Les Paul or an SG.

A used 2018 SG Special with mini humbuckers and natural satin finish popped up on a guitar shop's website that I check on a regular basis, and I jumped on it right away. It got delivered today, and I've been playing it for hours. The guitar was hardly played by the previous owner. This thing is a tone beast. The bridge position sounds good, the middle position sounds better, and the neck position sounds great!

The only negative thing I can point out is that the fret edges could use some work to smooth them out. But at the price I paid I won't complain too much.

This is my first SG and I'm already looking to add another one.

This thread has been dead for awhile where is Dinny Bossa Nova?

Any new gear folks?

eDave · 03-02-2021, 06:37 PM

Some upgrading went on. Swapped out the black Ovation for a newer one. (gave it away to a guy who lost his guitars in a house fire). It's not as slim and I'm not happy with it. Loved my black one.

I replaced the pups on the Les Paul with Seymour Duncan P-Rails, including Triple Shots. The strap is Van Gogh's Starry Night. It's neat.

I sold some guitars I acquired in a moving sale and bought a few since I posted here last. I acquired a new Gibson SG Special in Vintage Cherry that I truly love. I got it when they were closing them out because it was the undesirable automatic tuners. They are a pain in the ass and I plan to change them out but just haven't.

Seagull Mariner Dreadnaut which I like ok also. Its nothing fancy but sounds good to my ears.

I picked up 2 Supro's one for me and one for my brother the Americana series reissue. when I was a kid in 1968 me and my brother received Airline Guitars and a practice amp Airline. Dad bought everything at Monkey Wards mostly and Sears. Valco sold Supro guitars under the Airline name at Ward's. So I got a Belmont Ozark single pickup in Red in the Americana series my original was yellow. My brother got a white like his original Supro Holiday Americana series. They sound pretty nice but mostly a good memory for sentimental value. Wish Id hung on to that old guitar they get a pretty good price for the right buyer.

I forgot to mention that I swapped out the auto tuners real quick (because of of the gears in there stripped when I was manually tuning but I didn't care for them anyway).

Eastwood has recreated the old Airline (Monkey Wards) brand that's kinda nice. I wonder if they will do the amps though I don't know who made the Airline branded old tube amps.

**srvy** · 03-03-2021, 12:43 AM

Looking through google I think this is the little practice amp we had in 68.

Bowie with his 61 Supro Dual Tone.

Supro reissued a David Bowie Dual Tone limited addition. I have seen it discounted to 499 as it was going for a grand. It's a good looking guitar that would look good on a wall. Probably doesn't play like the original.
