April 13, 20187 yr This looks kinda cool, even though I tend to shy away from "jack of all trades" products. Might be great in a studio setting. Seymour Duncan "Everything Axe" loaded pickguard Edited April 13, 20187 yr by jimmyjazz

April 13, 20187 yr I can’t recall ever seeing a post ‘70’s photo of Willie playing something other than Trigger.

I've wondered if Willie takes Trigger everywhere he goes, or if its just his stage guitar. If Willie is sitting under a tree at his home on Maui pickin', is it Trigger in his hands or does Trigger stay tucked away on the Honeysuckle Rose 2 someplace? That looks like an Epiphone Hummingbird. I can't imagine what he sounds like with steel strings. Edited April 13, 20187 yr by AnotherUTFan

April 13, 20187 yr What if someone has both? Do I have to claim allegiance to a house like Game of Thrones? PLOT TWIST: Buzzrock betrays both to ally with House Stratocaster...Prepare yourself.Les Pauls are coming.
April 13, 20187 yr I have a Chinese Squier Tele and two Korean PRS single cuts. I guess I'm just in the poors mafia.

April 13, 20187 yr I too have allegiances to the South China Sea squad. Chinese Epi Les Paul and a Malaysian G&L. Helps offset the hipster vibe of my Pacific Northwest acoustic. I don't discriminate.
April 13, 20187 yr 2 hours ago, Buzzrock said: That's good lookin. What made you go for the semi hollow? It's routed and has a sound post under the bridge connecting the top and bottom. So I it's not built like an archtop. But it doesn't have a long block in it like a 335. It sounds, plays, and feeds back like a full hollow and supposedly, the sound post causes sympathetic vibration from the bottom and top like some violins. I have a 1970 ES335, which is what I think of when I think semi hollow. If you mean why didn't I go for the PRS Archtop, the answer is that it looked kind of bulky. This one weighs just over 4 pounds and plays really well. Here's the old 335, the most "even" playing guitar I ever have played.
April 13, 20187 yr Looking for a Strat or G&L Legacy... Only want 1 volume and 1 tone knob. Does anyone know of a shop that will make a custom pick guard? Or how could I fill the hole without it looking like crap? Debating whether to go SSS, or (more likely) HSS and split the humbucker. Where can I get a wiring diagram because I don't know diddly squat when it comes to wiring.

You may be able to find one precut if you poked around a bit. Maybe on eBay or Reverb.
April 13, 20187 yr If you order a Strat pickguard from Warmoth the order form allows you to select material, handed-ness, pickup configuration (including "none" in any of the 3 locations), bridge cut, mounting holes (11 or two different 8 hole configurations), countersink and controls (allowing you to eliminate any/all of volume, tone, tone 2, and 5-way switch). You could probably install a switched knob to split the humbucker without having to figure out a lever switch.

Will see if they have a G&L template since they have different tremolos.

April 14, 20187 yr Beautiful Tele, came from Wildwood it looks like. I bought a guitar from them once, great customer service.The LP looks like it's in a custom shop case. I can't read whatever is on that 12th fret inlay. Good looking Les Paul, most of them are. Details?

Has the modern fretboard radius and slightly different pickups than the regular 52 AV. Les Paul is a 2014 Traditional. It has the much maligned 100th Anniversary Logo on the 12th fret. Plays great and I'm not bothered by the logo.

April 14, 20187 yr PRS will invent the Telecaster, soon. It's kinda like Paul Reed Smith wants to wear it's skin come to think of it.

April 14, 20187 yr That’s a damn fine quiver, dcbc. I covet most and wouldn’t turn any one of those down. Even the PRS. I don’t care what AUTF says. Heh.
April 14, 20187 yr I saw Willie play a headless Steinberger live at the Gypsy Tea Room in Dallas back when he thought the IRS might take Trigger.Wow. That sounds like something for the “That’s Just Wrong” thread.

April 14, 20187 yr Wow. That sounds like something for the “That’s Just Wrong” thread. It was weird. But the weirdest thing is that I can’t recall what it sounded like. Willie and Triggers tone are so closely associated in my memory I can’t pull up a picture of him without hearing that guitar.

April 14, 20187 yr My brother bought me this Washburn when I was in 8th grade I’m 36 now. Nothing special as far as being rare or exapensive but it plays and sounds like a dream.
