Yeah, those are two really nice instruments. Both bought blind but with a lot of nosing around. The Collings can be a handful - the usual quirks of a hollow-body (that is full hollow with trestle bracing) and the Lollar P90s are quite lively. Took me a minute to dial things in and understand where the tones were. I've traditionally been a Strat guy on electrics so the two volume thing is new to my old brain. Turns out it provides some interesting options, at the moment liking middle position with the bridge pickup rolled off a bit on volume and tone. Gives an alternative jazz sound to just the neck pickup solo'd.

The Raven was a leap of faith as I've never really been an offset body guy. Plus I was looking to go short scale on something with a vibrato. I found this one and truth be told the color was the first attraction - orange and black with black hardware isn't common and I dig it. Plus it has a traditional bridge rather than the fiddly j-master setup. Finally it has P90 neck and hum bridge which makes for some interesting combinations. It is light, balances well, and plays ridiculously fast. Medium jumbo frets ftw in my hands - I just don't like "heavy" or jumbos. Again, some tweaking of pole pieces and I floated the bridge but its a keeper. Don't feel the need to have a Strat in the house...

PRS SE Hollowbody 2

So far, I'm liking it a lot! I now have three PRS SE electrics and all are very nice!20230525_000510.jpg

Alder body, USA-made black bobbin Fender USA 57/62 pickups featuring staggered, beveled alnico magnets and cloth-covered leads, one-piece maple neck, USA-made CTS pots, a two-point vibrato unit, 9.5" neck radius, 5-way selector switch and Gotoh Magnum Lock Top locking tuners.

Sweet looking guitar!

One of my more recent electric purchases was this Ibanez AK86 in dark violin sunburst. I believe it’s a laminated spruce top, maple body, laminated maple/hog neck.

2019 LP Special with fat fifties neck and zebras. Local $720 off FB Have wanted a red Gibson since I had a Jr stolen in 1970. This one does the trick of revisiting a miss spent youth

Martin D-18. I think it's a 2022 (maybe early 2023) but purchased in March 2023.

Here is the Tele from post 36 in action

I picked this up used. Came with an extra pickguard and Emerson PRS electronics. I got a gavitt wired toggle and set of Lollar humbucker sized soapbars. Thin nitro finish is worn in spots, which I like. Great USA great, all it for under $1k. I’ve got some far nicer guitars, but this one is really great.

Earlier I posted my Heritage guitar as the last guitar that I bought, but actually I got this one a few weeks later.

So here's my Teye La Perla...







These guitars are far more than their ornate look, they have one of the best passive tone circuits I've ever heard in a guitar. The three humbuckers are routed through some crazy combinations at the five way switch...

5 - (up) – Neck pick-up.
4 – Neck and Bridge pickup out-of-phase (the 'Peter Green' sound)
3 (middle) – Neck and Bridge pickups normal.
2 – Bridge plus Middle pickup *
1 (down) – Bridge pickup. ...

*position 2 with Bridge volume rolled to zero – Middle pickup alone.

It comes with 2 volumes, 1 master tone, and a mood control. The mood control musically thins out any pickup position so you can get Tele/Gretsch like tones out of humbuckers. No gimmick, it works, and it's passive!

This is what it sounds like...



And the neck and fretwork are absolutely killer. I love this guitar, and it may be the best guitar that I've ever owned, and I've owned a ton of nice guitars and still own quite a few. What makes it so good???? Everything!!! It just makes me want to play it and come up with something new every time I pick it up!

And with all the inlay work, and heavier looking hardware, you would think it would be heavy, but it's only 8.8 lbs!

People either love the look of them or they hate them as they are so over the top. I'm in the first camp of course

I bought the guitar used, and got a great deal on it, other than the case it came in, which was a coffin case. It fit pretty good, but I thought the look was kind of morbid, and it was real long.

So I ordered a custom Cedar Creek case for it, in black tolex, with chrome hardware, and purple velvet, which just arrived a few days ago. Now it's in a fitting case!!!
