ddsax420, I think the only way that you'll answer your question is to take your time and go out and play both versions because it really is a personal thing. I have guitars with Humbuckers and P90's, I like both but to be honest I think the Humbuckers are more versatile. Steve, your in a tier 2 area, I'm envious being stuck in tier 3☹️

Found this on Youtube and I thought I'd share it. Sadly Styx didn't have very much success here in the U.K, I think they deserved more.

I don't know about the Steve Ford one but here's the ISBN number fort Bernie's book: SBN 10: 0008356556 ISBN 13: 9780008356552. I've no idea why there's two. Here's the book on Bernie's site: Where’s My Guitar?: An Inside Story of British Rock and Roll - Signed Edition | Bernie Marsden

I'm patiently awaiting the delivery of: Where's My Guitar? An Inside Story of British Rock and Roll by Bernie Marsden, which is, so I'm told highly recommended.

No, I don't think I'd part with it, but sadly you couldn't really use it for a pub gig and thinking about it, I probably couldn't afford the insurance premium😆

It seems Bernie is selling off some of his collection and there's some interesting guitars on offer. He's not selling his 59 "Beast" Les Paul though. https://issuu.com/gardinerhoulgate/docs/gardiner_houlgate_guitar_catalogue/64

Very nice🙂

Juliana, I suspect someone more knowledgeable than I will post a better estimate of what the value of the guitar is, but I think it's of an age where some would class it as a "vintage" instrument and as it ages the value will only appreciate. I hope someone with more understanding of values helps with this, but don't forget different country's markets have different values, it's supply and demand. The guitar certainly looks very nice! Good luck

Hello Buckfish, welcome to the forum. The choice between the 50's and 60's models are a very personal thing, the best thing you can do is to go and play a few. The 50's model has lower output pickups (like you'd find on 50's PAF's) and a chunkier neck. The 60's one has hotter, more modern sounding pickups and a slimmer neck. My personal choice would be the 50's, but it's not my guitar, it's yours.

Hello Juliana, and welcome to the forum. It's a little difficult to answer you question without seeing it, could you post pictures?

Very nice, enjoy it!

Congratulations RCT, Fenders Mexican products are really outstanding now.

So just to be clear, does this mean you won't be buying one?😀

Sorry to hear that but I guess you win some & you lose some.

Guitarist magazine in the UK have just done a review of Cream T pickups (the Billy Gibbons ones) and they were very favourable about them. Might be worth a look. https://www.creamtpickupsdirect.com/

Hi Henry and welcome to the forum, I don't have personal experience of this guitar but I can't imagine that you'd have any problems achieving the Oasis sound, however I think your choice of amplifier may have a bigger impact on it than the guitar.

Another classic from Mr Haywood. I do think the backing vocals from the young Ladies add greatly to the performance.

Very nice indeed, I hope you enjoy it for many years to come.

Many congratulations Retired, I hope your good Lady and yourself enjoy your special day and many more in the future.

Hi Emmel and welcome to the forum. If I were you I'd send it back it's not good enough and now you've spotted it, it will bother you for as long as you own the guitar. You've also got to consider the resale value if you ever wanted to sell it.

Retired, it's actually just 7 Watts, they do a 15 Watt model, which is very nice (it also includes reverb), but as I already have a Blues Junior, which I use for gigs I didn't want that, I wanted something a bit smaller.

Thanks Guys, yes I do like it, it's the best Marshall😄 I've ever had. It's only lacking one thing, a Fender spring reverb, I have reverb pedal (it's the only pedal that I use) but they just don't seem to sound the same as a built in one.

It never ceases to amaze me how many stupid people there are in the World and I always think if they're that stupid how easy it should be to get £1 out of each of them. Some of the stupidest people that I ever met were when I was at University, it always made me wonder how they got in there. I think there are quite a few in government! I also think people should have to take an IQ test before they're allowed to have a driving license.

I've been after a Fender Bassbreaker 007 for a while but they seem to have been in short supply here in the UK (blame Covid I guess), but took delivery of this today, an early birthday present from my Wife. I haven't plugged it in yet, so I'm keen to see what it sounds like. I do love small amps.

Congratulations, nice guitars, I hope you both enjoy them for many years to come.
