ahhh my year !
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

Yep, the SG Jr is my go-to rock machine. It’s fat yet clear...pushes amps nicely. I remember when theseearly 60s ones were $1500 usd - sigh....

P90s. I think I need some but then I think I don't.

Quassi-necro-thread. I note from the first shot teh 1957 Les Paul Special has been sold. All else remains as is...with the addition of a 1972 Mahogany Telecaster Custom, currently in pieces in the garage. My spring resurrection project.

Loaded this larger shot onto Imgur for someone on LPF, so thought I'd post here also. Love this thing, and glad I held onto it. I've owned and sold a lot of vintage guitars, usually because I have had a double up...but not with this. I doubt I could replace it easily. 60's PAT No pickups with long A5's. Burst killa :roll: :D

The guitars are great but the paintings on the wall are pretty cool too.

Love how the grain complements the lines of the guitar. :thumbup:

Back in the day I bought a beautiful Explorer with the biggest bloody neck I've ever encountered on a Gibson. Paid 350 quid for it. If youth knew and age could....

You didn't happen to have scribbled the serial down way back then did ya? If the neck was massive, it was likely one of these LE's.
