Let's see your Electric Guitars and Amps.

Epiphone ES335 Dot trans cherry

[Puerto Player]

I speak electric. Most of these are gone now, I still have a few electric amps though; Brunocowtipper II, Red Plate Magic Dust Duo, BF Super Reverb, Ho Wet/Dry amp.

Yep, Vibroverbs really are great, but not as good as a Super Reverb filled with Jensen C10N's.

Here's my "do-it-all" 1974 Gibson ES-345 (heavily modified!), and my two amps; a 1976 Fender Deluxe Reverb and my trusty old 1980 Yamaha GL100-112... this is plenty for me with as little as I play electric guitar these days...



...and for the times I'm wanting that "old jazz standard" feeling... my 1976 Gibson ES-175...

Thank you,

I never intended to get two. I actually spent over 5 years looking for one, and just when I was about to give up looking, I found the first one with the L5s tailpiece in Canada, then a few months later, I found the other in Pennsylvania. I wanted to know whether the stoptail version was better than L5 tailpiece version, so I bought them both, thinking I would keep the one I liked most. In the end, I wound up keeping them both because, they're both great sounding, and just as important, great feeling! I love the neck shape, and low actions on both of them! And the pickups have a beautiful clean tone, perfect for the way I play. Don't let them fool you though, they also sound good with a little grit. Not like like a Les Paul, a little brighter with a snap quick response. Here's the darker Fireburst one through a Clark tweed deluxe variant.

First time I ever saw one was a band called Sky - John Williams, the world-famous classical guitarist, along with a very fine collection of musicians (including Herbie Flowers on bass). The other guitar player was Kevin Peek, who played the aforementioned L5S - it sounded glorious - you can hear and see a great example a couple of minutes into this video (from 1981). It's also a textbook example of just how good an Ovation nylon-string can sound in the right hands.

I must have some crazy fuzz tone on that to get the liquid sustain he was going for

Correct, all 2017. And yes the Yellow is the limited run 2017 GC JR.

I lean towards the “Standard” SG, and their variants, as that is my favorite SG model.

The only other Special I have is part of the 2015 family:

Those archtops look gorgeous.

WOW Birchtop - you even have a 2015 family. That's awesome. I have 8 Gibsons but they're 3 SGs, 4 Les Pauls, and a Flying V. Do you have any other Gibsons?

I don't know anything about the GC Jr, the player of the guitar. I actually googled 2017 Yellow SG 3 pickups and it came up (I get curious when I see guitars like that). What made you want to get that one? The player or the guitar?

There’s another dozen or so. All SG’s minus a couple Les Pauls. I have no Gibson acoustics.

I mainly picked up the GC Jr because of the three P-90s. The color kind of caught me as well. Turns out it was a limited run as they had serious issues of the gloss yellow finish cracking/checking, especially around the upper neck/head area. You can google and read all about it. It is very rare to find one without the cracks, I may even have the last one.

The 2018 GC Jr’s came in Vintage Red. No more problems

I think I've got some catching up to do on Gibson electrics . I don't have any Gibson acoustics either. Again, sweet SGs!
