Adding an '10 R0 TV Special and what I believe to be an '02 R8.

So many beautiful guitars in here... And great looking at Kerry's old stuff. Always loved the sound of his 335s through those small amps too (surpo etc...)

Here's my humble contribution, I wouldn't call it a collection but here's the current group:



No longer have this one, but it was a very fine SG...

my gibbies are in my avatar. I owned a strat for 20 years, gigged it a lot, but I always felt better playing my Gibsons. I love the low notes. I always felt better supported in that department with a Les Paul or SG. I like my tele for the spank department.
My 1970 SG custom has everything. My 1987 Les Paul Studio Standrd is my work horse, and, My 2005 Les Paul Special DC is a dyed in the wool rock and roll machine. It has the same scale, stripped down simplicity that I love.
The 1970 Blue Ridge Custom is all solid. No plywood. it's my songwriter. I cherish that axe.

That's a NICE matched top for a studio. It looks better than some of the tops I've seen on R8s and R9s, congrats!!

Thanks! I did buff it out with Virtuoso polish, looks really deep now, yes, it's an unusual top for a studio. It was a spur of the moment purchase, they had just put it on the wall that morning, but, I really didn't pay much attention to the top until I polished it out- I just wanted an LP w/P90s.

Nice grab!! If you ever what to hot rod that thing, call Matt at Martin Six String Customs and get a 50s wired harness with a PIO cap and 550k pots. I've got his harnesses in all of my newer guitars they really do make a difference. I also LOVE the Loller P90s. Put these together and you'll have a reissue killer!

Thanks but I've already done about all I'm gonna do on it- The pickups have been changed, 500k pots, and an aged switch tip. And I sanded around the edges, a la faux binding. It also has the natural back/sides.
I really like the P90s that PRS puts on their SE models, hotter than Gibsons, and humbucking w/both pups on.

I only have four, so at least a small collection.

Sounds like an assume sound machine!
