Christmas is so, so very wonderful.    My creamy white HSS Stratocaster, a wonderful step up from the junky Squire I've been stuck with for two years. Thing sounds really awesome for a mid-level guitar. The amp you see is a 30w VOX Valvetronix amp. Good price, and the thing is loud as hell. As for upcoming purchases, I've set my sights on that Epiphone Korina Flying V, which looks like this:  All in all, pretty awesome Christmas. I've been playing for a little under four years now, but I'm kinda poor so buying expensive instruments isn't something that happens often. Last year I did get a nice Ovation acoustic, though.

I've been planning on getting a Flying V soon, and I've had my eye on the Epiphone Korina V ($499), but I recently found a brand new Gibson Flying V for $580. The thing lists at $1000+ online, so I'm a bit suspicious if there's something really wrong with that particular model. I found the same model listed a few plays on ebay at around the same price. Am I missing something here? It's the worn Cherry Red Gibson, by the way.

Thanks, guys, I really appreciate the info on the Gibson Flying V. Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of the glossy finishes in the first place, but I'd prefer a black or white over a cherry. I did play it for quite a while at Guitar Center and it seemed to play really well. The set up wasn't amazing but it was passable for, well, Guitar Center. I guess getting one and having a pro set it up would work for me, and it'd still be a lot cheaper than the glossy Vs they've got for twice as much. ...unless of course I go for one of those ESP Vs.

Susano-maku da! posted:My bank account is crying and I don't give a poo poo. Dude, this is the EXACT guitar I'm pining over at the moment. And it's amazing that you found it for cheap ($525 compared to $699? Hell yeah!). I've been thinking about getting this model and replacing the pickguard with an orange one, or getting the Daphne blue model. Gaaaugh.

Susano-maku da! posted:You're in luck! Thanks so much! One thing, though, I'm trying to get a white Mustang that's more of a "white" and less of a "yellowish-white" color. The photographs from Elderly looked a lot more "white" but I've been tricked before! So, if you don't mind, could you let me know the color of yours when you get it? Thanks.

Got my Agile Telecaster this morning. It is much more yellow than I was expecting.  But I like it!

 Wanna talk about an awesome score? Some guy gave me these today for free. Both of them. He's leaving the country and just wanted to get rid of them. He is the man. That's a Boss Blues Overdrive and a DOD Grunge. Need to get a boss adapter, but they're both in good condition, and that Grunge pedal actually sounds a lot better than I expected it to.  And here they be, hanging out with the rest of the crew.

qball posted:Not so much a purchase but I won a set of custom wound pickups from a local pickup winder here in Australia. His name is Mick Brierley and he really went out of his way to make sure I got exactly what I wanted. That's very nice, my friend Hope those pickups sound real nice. I hear a lot of good things about those Orange amps, and I've really been wanting to try one, but I don't believe there are any dealers in my area. Could you tell me anything about them?

How are those Orange Crush amplifiers? I know they're lower-end models, but I've found some pretty affordable ones and I was thinking of getting the 30W model to mess around with. I found a few on ebay for around $100. Are they worth checking into, or should I just save my cash and go for an expensive one in the very far away future?

Man, you should totally give me one of those. I'm pretty interested in these Orange amps now thanks to the earlier discussion. Tell me all you can about the Tiny Terrors, if you don't mind.

Uncle Caveman posted:It varies by the guitar and the pickup itself - for instance, the neck mysterybuckers in most Epiphones do tend to get muddy & useless when pushed hard. My favorite dirty-neck sounds are a P-90, a Gretsch Filtertron (a kind of mini-humbucker,it stays bright & clear), a Fender Jazzmaster (big fat flat coil with magnet polepieces, has a really strong vowel sound) and a Danelectro lipstick tube (might as well be a bridge pickup, clangy as all hell). I know this luthier who builds his own custom telecasters, he finally found his favorite pickup combination which is a Tele with a humbucker-bridge, and a Jazzmaster-neck. And yeah, that thing sounds mean.

Oh, man, those Fender Super Sonics sound fantastic. What kind of Les Paul is that?

Hey man, let me know how this is. A friend of mine is looking to get rid of one of these (a 1X12 version) for a really cheap price, and I might take it off his hands.
