Wow, Jason! That is really an amazing finishing job he did. Bee-u-tee-ful!

Here's mine. It's an '03 R7 Darkback w/ Braz. brd and Rolph '59 Pretenders (unpotted). I also installed an aged TonePros bridge and light stopbar.

Ask Dean what he thinks of the sound.

That is awesome!
Dean keeps telling me about those Rolphs
:)
I think we could have some fun:D

Jason,

If you like a real airy, natural sounding PAF type of LP, you'd probably really like my R7. The neck is a boat oar though. But I like that.

Yes sir that is the tone I like, I swapped out all my humbuckers for the Tim White Timbuckers and I really love them. I haven't played rolf's humbuckers yet.
I tend to like the big necks as well :)

Mind if I play?

Hi Nick,

It's certainly going to be interesting to hear what you have to say about my new killer Paul... see you at 3 PM.

To me the Goldtops are the best looking relic guitars. Murphy does a great job. I had a Dickey Betts for some time and it gave me a great feeling to play it. The aging wasn't overdone and just looked so real.

Nickcha, you have a couple of beautiful guitar stands there.:D

Well, I feel a good guitar should have something nice to lean on.

DUDE!! That is one of the baddest looking blackguard Teles I have ever laid eyes on! That is what a Telecaster is supposed to look like. I bet it sounds like a million bucks, too. Nice...actually, nicer than nice.

Oh....the Bassman amps are sweet, too. ;)

What's that single pickup LP - a vintage odd bird or a custom made?

All you guys have some serious equipment...

If I ever was to buy a LP-type guitar, an EPI '56 RI goldtop with P90s would be what I would get.

For some reason, I just automatically associate goldtops with P90 pickups. I need to get myself a Tele first before I go after a P90 guitar.

My first electric: a Heritage 140CM. Great guitar for a great price.

[brassrat]

jleung,

Either you have very large feet or that guitar is very tiny. ;)

What happened with the picture? Looks beautiful by the way. A goldtop is definitely on my GAS list.

[PinkStrat]

Goldtops are way cool but unfortunately I do not yet own one. :D

Haha I didn't notice my feet were in the picture and when I realized I was too lazy to crop it. The lighting also wasn't very good so it came out fuzzy on my camera.
