1996 Gibson Les Paul Classic Premium Plus Amber. Regretted selling back in 2012.

Amber and Natural

I've become quite a fan of the Ernie Ball Music Man guitars. The Axis is easily the most comfortable guitar I've played, both from a feel perspective when playing and just generally wearing it for a couple of hours. A good range of sounds can be coaxed by rolling the volume around, the bridge cleans up well and the neck pickup is very smooth.

The JP12 is a bit of a different, more complicated beast. The neck shaped is pretty thin and the 20" radius is different to anything I've played. The piezo bridge pickups are neat. Could be a pretty handy live guitar, I reckon I need more time to get used to everything though - I like simple when playing live, otherwise you can spend too much time concentrating on what position to play in. Not sold on the Crunch Lab bridge pickup, sounds like the Illuminator is the one to go for. Liquifire in the neck is excellent.

Great pair there!!!

Didn't realise the pics were so big. Sorry if you're on dial-up!

Still awaiting a clean and a string change. First Brazilian rosewood

That’s pretty cool, but why are the controls over in perth?

About to embark on some upgrades, new pickups, tuners, bridge and electronics as well as a decent setup and tidy up.

Trying to decide which gear and where from. Have been put off using push pulls for the Humbuckers that i have already, so tempted to just get p90's for it.. and use the Hums for a Tele or Ibanez kit guitar.

Could wire the bumhuckers in parallel.

Very big thank you to Brian (MrB on here I think?) at Music Mania for the sharp price on this 000rs1, and also to Grantb for lining it up. I've been after a smaller bodied acoustic for years now but haven't really found one that ticked all the boxes until now and the 000 will have a reasonable back up it seems

Nice choice. Not a bad fella that Brian.
