I've been meaning to post a picture or two of my electrics for some time, here they are.
I apologize in advance for the huge picture.
Exhibit A: "The British Sound"
Guitar: 1995 R9 with PAFs from a demolished 1962 SG, non original pick guard and replacement bridge pickup ring. has 50's wiring. I acquired the R9 in Boston in 1996 on an off tour day. I had to have it right then and I traded my 1986 Pearl White LP Custom and a bit of cash on the spot. the pick guard was missing and I played through the original bridge pickup ring. I think I've replaced the switch tip a dozen times.
Amp: Blockhead 1963 JTM45.
Cab: 1970-71 (as far as I can tell) Marshall B with original 25 watt greenback speakers, wired to 16 ohms. (Are these 'pre-rolas'? I wouldn't know, a Marshall nut told me everything was stock except for the wiring (I had it at 4 ohms until I got the Blockhead.)
Exhibit B: "The American Sound"
Guitar: 1959 ES345, Schaller tuners. It's an early 1959 with the black varitone ring. I loves me a varitone. Note the stereo cable!
Amp: 196? Fender Blackface Super Reverb. I don't know much about other than that it's an amazing amp - especially for small rooms. I dime it and use "right hand technique" (i.e. volume, tone, and touch) to control the sound.
Exhibit C: "The Mexican Sound" (Get it?)
Guitar: 1996 PRS Carlos Santana (OK OK OK...whatever.)
Amp: Late '80s Mesa Boogie Mark III. I used to put this on top of the marshal 4x12 when it was wired to four ohms. What a sound! Filled big rooms like no other amp. I used the lead channel and adjusted with the right hand from there. (I'm a set it and forget it guy - no channel switching for me.)
Not pictured: Huges and Kettner Roto-sphere and Vox Wha Pedals. The Roto-sphere goes in the back of the Boogie, it's the only amp with a proper effects loop.
