new guitars x 4
Posted: Tue Feb 28, 2012 12:10 pm
i have aquired some new guitars in the last few months, ive tried to cut down my purchases/trades but meh.
firstly is an old 1978 ibanez musician my mate got given by his neighbour a few years ago, apparently is sat in his shed for years(not in a case mind you) so he gave it to my mate knowing he plays guitar.
i went over when he first got it a cleaned it up and wired some new pickups in etc... and i was surprised that it was in one piece.
It has a few chips/dings etc but the neck is straight as and doesnt have any cracks or anything, it plays great. i ended up trading a lighter guitar for it(need a guitar for a friends kid to learn on) as this thing weighs a ton but i love it.
it also has a super 70 pickup in the bridge which from my research didnt come standard with these guitars? they were super 88's or i think or 58's. im deciding what to do with the neck pickup i wired in
its a duncan designed and it sounds really good. i need a pickup ring or something.
Next up is a prs se santana, that has had the body repainted in 2 pak,i traded some stuff for this and put a set of p-rails in it with some mini switches.
It plays fantastic and i can get sooo many sounds out of it.
I also bought my old sg back of my mate, its an '08 sg special which is stock except i replaced the bridge humbucker with a JB.
Lastly is a guitar i bought today and have been playing with for the last few hours.
Its a new 70's vintage modified strat, i wasnt going to get it but it looked so good and was soo cheap and the pickups sound fantastic.
so i got them to hold it for me as it was the only all black/maple one in stock anywhere near me. Ive had heaps of strats over the years but im loving this one.
ive got a cij 72 reissue in white/maple and they are fairly similar, except the white one has a bigger neck.
i really need to stock buying guitars, but lately squier have been making it hard as they are bringing out some quality stuff
