Featured Some Guitar Players, Lovers, Addicts?

I'm glad you looked it up, @andyc1! Or I'd have been compelled to check it out myself. That both the car and guitar appeared during the same year certainly doesn't seem like a coincidence...but I don't believe in coincidence to begin with. I wonder what the connection is?? Very intriguing.

 

My Gibson Custom Shop CS-356 unlike ALL of other semi hollows this one's body is a billet of Mahogany carved to dimension , with a hand carved flame maple top . Very much the semi-hollow LP custom

 

I have a little gibson blues hawk, same sort of construction, hollowed out mahogany. My first gibson actually and a little bit strange. It has a longer fender scale length. Lovey wee guitar, its had a hard life and still plays beautifully

 

I love p90's! I think gibson called these 'blues 90's' I'm not sure how they differ from p90's. Theres a dummy 3rd pickup in there too, the rotary knob lets you select some out of phase tones with it.

 

the back and sides are all one piece , CNC routed to match the same as the ES 339. The top is twice as thick as my ES . Cuts better in the mix. The early ones, like mine had Ebony fretboards...post CITES raid they have "Richlite" yuck. http://legacy.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/2017/Custom/CS-356.aspx

 

Heres a video I love, popped up on my recommendations and forgot how good it is...

Billy Gibbons with a Blackstar Artisan 15 and Pearly Gates #8 - YouTube

Then for some reason I thought, @andypandy this could be you How's the guitar hunting going?

 

Billy's a legend... Everyone speeds up, not Billy, Billy slows it the fuck down and it ROCKS

 

Just the artisan, played both the 15 and 30. I believe there is also a 10watt version now. Gorgeous amps but I would call them a gigging only amp. The overdrive tones are out of this world, thought the 15 was a bit harsh, but they have to be so so loud to get them! My hearing aids can't take the volume.

 

I tried the Artisan 30 and fell in love with it... but I could not afford it as well as my PRS.

 

Don't know why it made you think of me, my hat's a different colour. I've got me eye on a gee-tar, the seller keeps re-listing it on ebay and I keep making offers but so far we've not agreed a price.

 

Off topic(ish). Anybody know of anyone that can fix effect pedals, or whats likely to be wrong with one. A MXR 10 band eq, I have a suspicion a drop of water might have landed on it and got past the sliders. Completely dead, 18v power adaptor is working. No battery.

 

There’s Ampworks and I think AwardSession used to... not sure if they are only amps now?

 

I imagine the insides are full of minute components, will probably have a look myself but don't really know what to look for or test.

 

Have a play, what could possibly go wrong?

 

Aye its dead and useless so nothing to loose... feckin 100 quid pedal
Really good too because my hearing aids pick up the upper mids-highs so the eq allows me to pull down those frequencies
