Old shelves, but I do have a few of them. I pretty much use a comic book collection as sound control in my lair.

I'd never buy the only new guitar I really lust for, one of the Pelham Blue Murphy Lab '64 SGs. If Gibson would just offer it on the '61 Standard w/ Vibrola I'd figure out something to sell to get one

The Guild D-55 is just the love of my life right now, it was so worth it. I play it more than the Martin.
It's an interesting instrument to learn - I say learn because it really has this crazy amount of sustain and volume and just sings when you touch it, to the point that it's actually really hard to hide mistakes and you have to control it differently than with other guitars I've played. There are certain notes where you can hit them and immediately mute them and you still hear them ringing in the guitar like the string is open, I've never heard anything like it before.
Can hear the way it "sings" a bit in this clip of a flatpicking tune I'm working onhttps://www.instagram.com/p/ClNVu_kDuJ3/

Wow, that amazing instrument clearly found the right person to perform with! The “singing” quality sounds like you’re doubling with a Nashville tuning at times. I love a happy ending, what a gem.

beautiful guitar and great pickin

thx :)
Nashville tuning/doubling is a great way to describe it, it feels like there's this "voice" coming out of the guitar that sings along with what I pick.

argh, my local guitar store has listed a Troy van Leeuwen Jazzmaster in the original oxblood.

I can confirm that oxblood TvL's are 100% f-yeah and whatever sacrifices may come.
― Elvis Telecom, Thursday, 29 December 2022 21:49 (one year ago) link
Midnight Wine and Aubergine are a couple of other similar Fender ox-blood colors that look good to me.

Man I like that Tele bass too. The original P bass was one of those designs that was perfect right out of the gate.

Nope, that’s the delightfully named “tug bar” where you hook your fingers for thumb playing.

Midnight wine w/tortoiseshell is 200% my fave color scheme.
Bonus points for satin or matte finish

It’s both more than I want to spend and about $500 below market, with a nice case.
― assert (matttkkkk), Friday, 30 December 2022 00:58 (one year ago) link
They have reissued the 52 P-bass but never that model with the humbucker. I got to say after getting into Gibson basses, humbucker pickups are a bit under-rated on a bass. I'm guessing those might have some of the odd magnets like the other 70s Seth Lover style pickups Fender did.
Trower signature Strat is available in Midnight Wine. I'd like it more with a black pick guard. I think of building another parts strat that is the color I might use and then book match the headstock.

If I ever get another bass aside from my Squier VI, the Reverend Wattplower II is top of the list.

wasnt meant to be aimed at your comment:) im surprised they put that on CL vs putting it on reverb for like half of what the other one is going for. way more eyes but maybe they dont want to deal with shipping/insuring it

I always kind of hated the white with gold hardware and elaborate headstock inlay gibsons but I saw an epiphone les paul custom in a shop last week and kind of loved the coked out 70's energy it radiated.
