capmaster Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Very nice and very multi-coloured group shot, Tom! Nicely arranging them in touch on a bed is what I call a guitar porn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHTom Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share Posted December 31, 2015 Somebody likes slab bodies, eh? Nice group! That Warmoth Tele is sick. Yes, Love slabs!!! The Specials in particular to fully addicting to me. Yes, the Warmoth is a unique critter! NHTom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHTom Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share Posted December 31, 2015 Hey Tom, me thinks you need a few more..lol ....especially some vintage stuff! Yes, thinking either an actual vintage or at least a re-issue is on the horizon. short of a DC Special in TV yellow, I'm leaning toward either a P90 Gold Top, or something in a Bourbon or Lemon burst.

NHTom Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share Posted December 31, 2015 Very nice, Tom! The Sonex makes me envy. Happy New Year! Best wishes... Bence Thanks........those don't get credit for being a "real Gibson" but I love it.......plays good, sounds good, plenty of sustain.....and wouldn't hesitate to take it to a rehearsal or gig. Almost bought a red one a week ago but got jerked around on the case and they wouldn't budge so I passed. NHTom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfpup Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Yes, Love slabs!!! The Specials in particular to fully addicting to me. I'm in real need of a double cut Jr/Special. It's only a matter of time I realize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHTom Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share Posted December 31, 2015 I'm in real need of a double cut Jr/Special. It's only a matter of time I realize. I always wanted the DC, but couldn't come up with one.......so settled for the single cut........loved it...then another single came along.....loved it......finally got the double and it's incredible......like a junky....just one more!

windhoek Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Nice collection. Don't stop now! I sometimes wonder when one more guitar is too many and all I can think of, is when I have to sleep outside 'cos there's no space left for me. If that's the case, then I've got a lot of collecting to do lol :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cody78 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Love your LP Specials NHTom. ...and sweet ES 175 Windhoek, I have an old version (2012 in my case) ES 175 Re-issue as you can see in my profile pic. It really is a joy to play, just feels perfect. Love 175's, love LP Specials,...so many great Gibson guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketman Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Sweet! How do you like your Sonex? I have the same one. The Zebra Dirty Fingers pickups make it scream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capmaster Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Here's my first group photo; sorry it's a bit naff, I'm not smart enough to get the best out of my phone ;) Looks like your ES-175 is featuring a wooden bridge. Referring to your topic on restringing and setting up, there may indeed lurk some trial-and-error work to get the best intonation possible. Does the lens of your phone perhaps need a cleaning? Breathing on it and wiping with a very soft facial tissue may help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHTom Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 Sweet! How do you like your Sonex? I have the same one. The Zebra Dirty Fingers pickups make it scream. Mine is a 1982 so it has the velvet brick pickups........still a really good sound out of them. I think it is a really under rated guitar.....mine plays well, good sustain, sounds decent. For the $400 price, I think it out shines a lot of other guitars in the store. NHTom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breathing on it and wiping with a very soft facial tissue may help. You're probably right about my phone's lens; I hardly ever use it to take photos, so it probably does need a clean. You're also probably right about the floating bridge, but as the intonation is pretty good after the restring, I'm happy to leave it alone till it needs to be corrected.

Did you already switch to flatwounds? How does she sound? It's a long time since I had flatwounds on a sixstring guitar although I still use some on two of my four-string bass guitars.

It's a long time since I had flatwounds on a sixstring guitar although I still use some on two of my four-string bass guitars. Although it's early days, I like the flats because they produce smooth, warm tones rather than bright and bouncy tones, which matches well with my desire to play jazzy music - admittedly, an aspiration rather than fact at present. If I found myself mostly playing pop/rock, I doubt I'd keep using them, but as it is, they're ideal for the sort of music I am playing :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
