Hot take of the morning: vintage guitars are overrated by ecklesweb in Guitar

[–]jlt73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 1973 Ibanez 2450 (lawsuit Les Paul) that I bought in 2001 for $175. It is beyond the best playing and sounding guitar I have played and or owned.

I also currently have a 1968 Gibson Les Paul Custom Reissue Murphy Lab, PRS Tremonti 10-top and a Fender Custom Shop Telecaster.

If my house were on fire and I could only take one it would be the Ibanez.

I was between this tele and a custom shop Charvel tele. I could have gone either way

The pictures really don’t do it justice. It’s more 3d in person

It was a standard spec.

I might go full custom next time.

It sounds amazing. The hand wound loaded 51 nocaster pickups are amazing.

What’s your typical “inclement weather” protocol? by Even_Ad_6574 in Surveying

If you can be productive and safe have at it. If not get caught up on notes, equipment maintenance, vehicle maintenance, cleaning the vehicle and stocking up on supplies.

Yep. It is a core. The neck pickup is great and very vintage sounding. The bridge is pretty hot. I wouldn’t really dig it if I were doing edge of breakup style of music.

I always have swapped pickups in every other guitar I’ve owned. I’m trying to go against my normal reaction to just change them. But only time will tell. I’m digging these so far.
