Pics Of The Last Guitar You Purchased

[Hiwatts-n-Gibsons]

Update on the Eastwood Doubleneck project……..
Replaced the pickups & rewired everything.

Guitar pickups replaced with Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates pickups
Bass pickup replaced with a Gibson TB+ Neck pickup from a Les Paul Standard Oversized bass
Volume & tone pots replaced with stacked pots, bottom bass & top guitar
DPDT Mute Switch added in bass pickguard, both guitar & bass mutes at same time
Individual jacks for guitar & bass, output for both sides on guitar side if bass jack is not used
Replaced bass tuners with Hipshot Ultralite tuners
Running both guitar & bass through a Boss LS-2, one click sends guitar to guitar amp & bass to bass amp

So far I have been pretty happy with the results, will give it a test drive next week at practice.

I like it even better now. It looks like two conjoined baby SG's viewed through an LSD hallucination.

How does it sound compared to when you got it?

I think it sounds much better. Quality pickups, CTS pots & new strings made a huge difference. It was an easy guitar to modify & I like the necks better than I thought I would. For a Chinese guitar, it isn’t bad. When I set the intonation, I only had to change two strings on the bass. The guitar side was dead on! I guess it weighs about a pound & a half less than an Epiphone 6/12 string double neck. Will be interesting to see how it holds up in time……..

Just picked up a 2023 Epiphone 1959 Les Paul Standard in Aged Dark Burst for almost nothing. It has some light flame on the fretboard that wasn't visible in the 'no reserve' auction so I got a nice surprise there.



It's a GREAT guitar and seems to have something my other guitars don't. The tone is round and full. The same pickups, a Seymour Duncan Antiquity neck and Seth Lover bridge, sounded "not so full" in my LP-style 66 DLX Plus.

I took them out of the DLX Plus and put them in the new Les Paul and those things sing now lol. They sounded great in the other guitar but they're on another level in the Les Paul.

Build-wise, my other guitars are built as good or better than this one but they're obviously missing something. This thing only weighs 8.6 lbs fully assembled, also. That's about 1.5 lbs less than the guitar missing pickups above, my previous #1. That was a nice surprise, also.

I can honestly say that I'm very proud to finally own a Les Paul guitar. He was a hell of a musician and one hell of a human being. I couldn't be prouder, TBH.

My most recent guitar purchase, a 2023 Gibson Les Paul Standard 50’s in Cardinal Red.

New Martin D-28 Modern Deluxe with Fishman Aura VT Blend electronics. The controls for the volume, tone, & blend are just inside the soundhole and are easily controllable without even looking or taking your hand away from the strings. Great design for live play.

2011 Melody Maker. I added a tone knob and moved the jack to the side of the body. Also a Seth lover humbucker and Leo Quan Badass bridge.

That’s a great looking guitar and Honey Burst is my favorite burst color.

Congratulations!

Very nice guitar, Greywolf. But it's actually a Korina Artist P90. The Specials were flat top guitars, and the f-Hole guitars were Artist models. They also had other versions earlier on, that were called The Vanguard, but they were mahogany. Gregor Hilden's vid is great BTW. Enjoy your new guitar, it's a great one..
