Re: Advice re: guitars
Unfortunately the Revstars are out of stock at present.
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

I still can't believe these are only $1300 new, they are brilliant guitars and so well made.

Or the LP special with 2 x p90s. Codedog likes his 2020 epiphone one.
Or a Casino.

The 2020 Epi Special is cheap and cheerful though. Be prepared to do a bit of setup/tweaking.WellyBlues wrote: ↑Mon Oct 26, 2020 9:45 amOr the LP special with 2 x p90s. Codedog likes his 2020 epiphone one.

Re: Advice re: guitars
I don't know much about your current guitars or how attached you are to them, but the Goldtop you're talking about looks lovely. I love P90's. The only reason I can see that you wouldn't get on with them would be noise, but if you have other single coil guitars that work for you it shouldn't be any worse than those. There are some pretty good noiseless options around too if you needed to change the pickups.
