Dino Desi and Billy couldn't play well and released a few albums,

I think you are a lot better than you make yourself out to be..

How do you know you suck until you have heard what the sound guy can do for you?

I hope you get to play in a pub sometime with a good sound system..

Cacti usually get over watered..

I'm surprised that you never plug your acoustic into an amp or mic it into a PA?

So briefly I am using, Jazz III picks on my P90 Epiphones, 2-15 watt SR tube amps, an RK5 with Vox Wah, including a Chorus and Delay in the effects loop. I had a whole bunch of other stuff written here but decided to summarize.. Thanks everyone for sharing what you are using to get your sound!

Just as a note, in a reverse coil pickup the actual polarity is reversed, the coil (bobbin) and magnets are reversed creating an opposite magnetic field. The wiring is the same, if changed it will take the pickup out of phase creating an undesirable effect. If you place a compass next to your pups the normal pup will swing the south end of the needle closest to it, on either end of the pup. The reversed pup will swing the north end of the needle to it, on either end.. If you take a P90 apart and remove the magnets, you will notice that the magnets are held together in opposing fields trying to push each other apart creating a single magnetic field at both ends of the pup. On a P90, if your compass swings to the same pole on both pups, then they are in the same polarity.. Normal pups in the same polarity will normally swing the south end of the needle toward them.. ********************************************************************************************************************************************** If anyone should try to reverse a Gibson P90, it is one of the most difficult because it is very substantially built. You will need a good soldering gun to desolder the cable shielding from the chassis so you can flip the coil, while being very careful not to damage the leads going to the coil. Also need to mark the magnets with something like nail polish so you know the original orientation. Usually much easier to just acquire an aftermarket reverse polarity P90, most manufacturers are building them this way and in sets.. Epiphone P90's are easier to reverse with no desoldering required, just mark the magnets, disassemble requiring the pole screws to be removed, flip the coil and reverse the magnets in an opposite opposing position, check the polarity with a compass and finish reassembling. There are a few other posts in the Epiphone thread explaining in more detail. The following link will return you to the original article at the beginning of this post.....

Please share your ideal setup of guitars amps and effects....

A point of consideration is what year what model of Casino you have as they came with different tuners.. Epiphone Wiki / Casino

The new Epiphone product line has bee slimmed down considerably.. Archives do exist like The Unofficial Epiphone Wiki Les Paul Tribute

I would vote for the DSL20C too as it has comparable features to the Blues Jr and it will definitely get the Marshall sound.

I have been finding lots of cool stuff on Craigslist that are in the just in case definition, like looking for a generator for the next hurricane..

Most all of the Bridges come "Black, Chrome, Nickel or Gold". Roller Bridges are frequently used to help equalize the string tension when a Tremolo is used, but they will work just fine as a stand alone Bridge.

Sorry to hear you are sick, but glad you are able to be at home, might try playing an electric usually easier, this has been a very tough year, do what you gotta do and get well..

I couldn't pass up this 2019 USA case for $60 and my Min Pin is guarding it, she thinks it hers..

I don't understand, why would you want a roller bridge unless your LP has a Tremolo? Wouldn't a 77 Gibson LP Standard normally have the standard Tune-O-Matic in chrome nickel or gold? Note that USA Gibson Les Paul bridges are SAE sizes and Asian Les Pauls are Metric. ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic.. Or the Nashville Tune-O-Matic..

Retired - I hope you don't stay away too long, always enjoyed your comments..

A new home for my Ibanez, a Fender Black Tweed case... Had to add a small piece of foam under the heal and under the neck rest. It fits quite nicely..

I scored a G&G Black Tweed Strat Case today, my Ibanez is loving it.

Had no clue it wasn't real.. I had found the other image a few times. So this what it was supposed to look like.. But now the Strat looks small to me.. Oh well.... Edited....... On the Epi version I can see anomalies around his left wrist, the guitar cord isn't going to the right place, the guitar strap coming down from his right shoulder isn't actually connected to the guitar and the angle allowed by the belly relief is too flat.... There are plenty of shots from the early days of him playing Epi's but the desire for a more modern shot suckered me in..

Well I didn't mean to make anyones head explode, I was just expressing my feeling that Gibson should move on to more modern finishes that won't disintegrate so easily, Fender left Nitro behind many years ago..

What are the main advantages of Gibson and why you chose this particular guitar? Which Gibson models and colors do you like? Who is your favorite musician who plays Gibson? What are your associations with Gibson? Because Gibson has owned Epiphone since 57, or there abouts, I have been attracted to Epi's since the early 60's. Note I have owned many Gibsons but many more Epiphones. Gibsons can normally be counted on to be excellent sounding reliable high quality guitars. The models I seek are ones that have incredible neck access up to the last high fret like LP DC's and SG's. As I have gotten older I prefer Guitars with P90's for their tone and unique penetrating sound, well illustrated by Leslie West. While this was a relatively simple song the LP Jr made it unique. Jimmy Page was one of the foremost Gibson Players, I think he picked up a lot from Beck and Clapton during the Yardbirds. Eric Clapton during the Cream years playing mostly a Gibson SG. Or Jimi playing one of his Epiphones below. He also had a Gibson V an SG and a LP, to name a few.. I have no affiliation with Gibson, how ever I wish they would stop using the antiquated Nitro furniture finish on their guitars..

I won't be baited that easily..

Chrome is kool but I like the blue one better........
