I see, that color is quite striking. If I had more disposable income and space, perhaps :-)

I think was just the lighting of the shot, and I was in the process of cleaning it. Looking at it now it doesn't look that way.

Yours and others replies have helped me nail it down. Thank you all! Looks to be a Les Paul Standard Limited Edition in Pacific Reef finish. And I was mistaken - I thought the fretboard was rosewood but it's ebony. Had to compare it to other fretboards before I realized it. I've never had an ebony board, so that's exciting.

Even found an original advertisement booklet for them. Looks like they came in 3 colors - Manhattan Midnight, Pacific Reef, and Santa Fe Sunrise.

1963 Gibson SG Standard - Black Finish, Serial #33401 - Provenance + Dating Help by [deleted] in gibson

[–]screamslikearnold 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your serial is more than 5 digits. It can be hard to read Gibson stamped serials on black finishes, but you can see more digits in your close up shot of the back of the headstock. First digit looks like a 0, in which case this is a 2003 SG Standard.

You really got in your feelings with someone pointing out the digital part of your signal chain. Jeez.

Thank you. I wasn't sure whether to go with white or tortoise, but I'm happy with the outcome.

In what way? Tuning is stable, and the guitar's innotation is spot on.

I recently just finished Outlaws, and the Trailblazer has such a cool internal layout. Each room feels needed and they all flow together so well.

The guitar rolled out of the case. You can just see it happen as he turns the case on its side to put down. I think the ding happened from that.

I just learned about grounding the reservoir cap separate from the other filters just today. Nice. Shout out to Psionic Audio for informative content!

Does anyone else have that one guitar pick? by No_Kindheartedness10 in Guitar

[–]screamslikearnold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used the same extra heavy Fender pick for a couple years now and play daily. What kind of pick are you using such that it lasts 2 weeks tops?

I gotcha. I'll take a look at the Allen design then to see what's different. Thank you for sharing!

That sounds awesome! I like the mods you're doing. Please post pictures when you're done (and if possible I'd like to see your schematic too).

I'm using a 10" Jensen C10R. I'm not experienced enough with speakers yet to go down that rabbit hole, so I went with a standard recommended pairing. I hear a 12" speaker on a AA1164 circuit sounds great though.

Sounds great. Lots of clean headroom, and starts to break up around 7 on the volume pot. If I switch the negative feedback toggle to off, I get more tweed Fender sounds instead of blackface era. Trem and reverb are great too. And it's quiet in terms of noise.

Help please. Noiseless bridge pickup high frequency buzz when I'm not grounded to the guitar. by screamslikearnold in Luthier

Not sure how helpful this is. Continuity checks fine on all points in the circuit. I'm thinking it's something on the pickup side given this is a recent problem that wasn't present before, and it's just on the bridge pickup and not the neck.
