    Full hollow with those P-90's. Time to learn the art of controlling feedback when cranked. Actually a pretty fun thing.

    Yeah, have played my brother's ES-330 with P90s a lot.  I'm not too worried about the feed back at this point.  I wouldn't buy a full-hollow with humbuckers, though.

  2. Santa did a bad, bad thing.  I broke down and "settled" for a used 2018 Gibson ES-330 w/P-90s to solve my hollow/semi-hollow craving.  Should have it by EOD Thursday.

    I have a 1990 Telecaster with a distinct stale pipe tobacco smell in the guitar and inside the case.  I believe if it ever loses that aroma, I'd have to sell it.  22 years though, and it's still going strong.

    Pretty sure wife rules are in effect for guitars mentioned in the guitar pron thread.

    Am I in the minority when I say that I struggle with purposely creating fake memories when it comes to aging an instrument? 

    I, like everyone of you. Love the way old guitars look and handle. I have opened more than my share of old guitar cases. And I wish I had more of them. But to imitate such history seems..idk.bourgeois?

    I don't think you are in the minority, and I think you are exactly right about the type of buyer being targeted.  To each their own, I guess. If someone wants to pay extra for the manufacturer to make a new guitar look like its been train-hopping with a hobo the past 50 years, its their money.  To me, its fake, unearned and gauche, so don't expect props.

    Lol, not that anything is shocking anymore, but the President of the United States was just intellectually pwned by a teenager.

  6. Got an offer on my PRS S2 Studio on Reverb that I'm going to take.  Anyone sell a guitar through Reverb before?  Any tips/gotchas/things I should do other than shove this thing in a box and toss it in the mailbox?

    Surprized how many times Vox made that list. I love the way they sound, but I have a cringe worthy Vox story that would probably get me banned from this thread that keeps me from getting one. Horrible memory they remind me of.

    Vox AC30 is my main amp.  Do tell 😜

    This whole thread is awesome on multiple levels that entertain me immensely.  It's got everything.

     

    Same time next year?  Like that going to see the Christmas lights thing in Waco or whatever? 

     

    The War against Christmas has no end.  We'll score a temporary victory come Dec 26th, but 11 months later, when Christmas is forgotten and you finally think its safe to venture back to Walmart...

    BOOM!

    No, Trump actually wants to rile them up enough that they shoot someone on 5th avenue.  He was never going to do it himself or demand it from his followers directly.  He tries to keep his hands clean.

    Make no mistake though, Trump would be absolutely gleeful if a nutjob took out Schiff, Biden, any of the squad, or really anybody else that calls out his bullshit.  You might see a thoughts and prayers tweet that his handlers post from his twitter, but they would keep him out of the public eye and off the internet completely if that happened because there is no way he would be able to conceal his glee.

    This is the same guy that wants border patrol to shoot migrants.

    Disagree.  He does not want a full-blown bloody revolution.  There needs to be a kingdom to rule.

    I'm not that confident.  A nutjob went after Steve Scalise.  There are more than enough right-wing nutjobs to go after Schiff, etc.  All it takes is one.

    Yeah, and its an imperfect art.   You want to rile them up just enough to support you even if you were to shoot someone on 5th avenue but not so much that *they* shoot someone on 5th avenue.

  11. I kind of like Hillary hanging out in public view but powerless.  As long as her name is out there, the conservative machine that spent the past two-and-a-half decades destroying all that is Clinton will focus some of their attention on her, versus targeting the next threat to this shitastic flavor of conservatism.

    I'm all about the downfall of Trump and the ideology he champions.  Anyone playing a role in that, no matter how small, is ok in my book.

    If he wins in 2020 who’s the first rival he tries to throw in jail? Schiff, Pelosi, Hillary? Bill Maher?

     

    Eh, he needs foes to war against to keep his base riled up and behind him.  Trump only has power within our current context of belligerent conflict between economic classes, ethnic groups, minorities, religions, etc...  I think it will be a lot of angry, apocalyptic talk to fan the flames with no direct action to put it out.

    What else is going on there? I can't imagine different pickups is a $700 difference.  Is something different with the build?

    Looking at specs, the P90 version has a maple vs mahogany neck.  Everything else is pretty much the same except pickups.
