Been a Fender player most of my 30 odd years of playing.

Teles mainly, but also other Fenders and their derivatives.

Then just over a year ago I got this little MM very cheap

I fell in love with its simplicity, solidity and playability

Another Gibson joined it just recently

I gigged with it for most of a set last week, and put my Tele back on its stand

I think I'm crossing to the "Dark Side"

Its a good side to be on, sir.

Melody makers are so good.

I love buckers, but Ive loved the telecaster/stratocaster sound for blues.

Being that my SN is what it is, I should explain:

I dont get the sustain and feel of a gibby in a fender, and maple is too bright. I can feel my gibbies vibrate up the headstock, and I love it.

Not to bash fender, I just wouldnt own one any time soon. (amps are a WHOLE 'Nother story)

MMs give that tele bite, with the low end a gibby is known for.

To me that is a winning combo.

I played NOTHING but epiphone LP standards and classics till i scooped up the first of my 3 2007 double pup '59 reissue MMs.

I now am in process of acquiring a TV yellow 2003 version of your new acquisition. Im very excited.

I bought a '56 LP goltop Epi and fell in love with P-90s. This should be even better for me.

I LOVE MMs

John Vasco · 12-09-2011, 09:53 AM

Posted before but... 1970 lefty SG Standard going through a Marshall 100w 1959 head and 1960 and 1960B 4x12 cabs (pic taken February '71)

Closer view of the body:

Krzyates · 12-09-2011, 12:44 PM

My first Gibson was a Marauder. Sounded muddy and had a bolt on neck so it went on down the line. Got some money and a vintage Vox wah for it. Still don't regret getting rid of it.

ARFOR6 · 12-12-2011, 05:17 PM

My first one. Bought it second-hand when I was just 13 (in 1974). I wanted a new LP Deluxe but couldn't afford it.

Still play it almost daily.

Over the years, I've owned a couple of Gibby acoustics that have come and gone (sadly), and my most recent Gibby is my ES339

Also have an LP Standard I bought a few years ago.

First one. One piece body, one HB, perfect finish, Ebony Fretboard and gutsy as hell and also it's limited to 1,000 world wide.

And in around 6 weeks it'll be joined by a 61 SG.
