Are you back in NZ?
I was! Snuck in shortly after the quarantine-free borders reopened, had a bit of a working holiday, and then got back to Sydney yesterday. Was super paranoid that baggage handlers would wreck the guitar but it arrived unscathed, phew.
Next time, take the neck off to be safe.
You can only remove the headstock easily on a Gibson.

Disagree - on SGs one can also remove the neck from the heel area.

Beautiful guitar! Love the finish too! I had a tobacco burst 97 Standard for a long time and I’ll get another one some day hopefully.

Thanks!

Yep it has a Fishman Powerbridge in it. During the Velvet Revolver tours he used the piezo bridge when doing acoustic songs like this:



That sounds *super* direct too, probably could have used just a little processing.

To be honest I doubt I'll ever really use it :lol:

You could probably run that dry piezo into the new LR baggs acoustic IR pedal and get a fabulous acoustic sound.

Nice one Ed, looks like a nice guitar.
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

Jeez, what a fucking awful song!
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

There's no reaction in the natural world faster than mine when it comes to turning off the radio at the opening chords of G&R's 'Patience'.

Sorry, Ed, but you know these threads tend to drift.

Yeah, people are pretty good at showing respect around here these days, usually, the thread has "drifted" a little.

FWIW I'm thrilled for Ed, it must be a special thrill to get something you've desired so much. Ed, I'm sure every time you look at it you'll smile and go "yes!". Enjoy.

Despite the VR sound clip, I can think of many times a piezo bridge would be useful. If I ever get another LP hack I’m going to put one in. Let us know what the sound is like Ed through your rig please.
