@Brize it's a standard version made in the early 90's when the Gibson acoustic division was just starting up again. I've only compared it with two post 2000 models but it did best them for tone. 

Looks lovely.

@markblack ;   that '53 ES-125 is a lovely old thing

Its gorgeous.  I'm always impressed by fenders and there's loads on here.  Other than that the 125 stands out to me as does @Kylef ; rickenbackers.

@markblack love the Pelham picture, shame that kid photobombed it : )

Putting them all together, I'm starting to think maybe I have a problem...

Anyway, here goes.  L to R:

Heavily modified Fender Troy van Leeuwen Jazzmaster: Mastery Bridge and trem., Creamery and Curtis Novak pups, Spitfire pickguard
Metallic Flesh Pink JM with P90s by Duoton/ @russianbear
Fender '72 reissue thinline Tele, TV Jones Classic pups
2003 (I think) Gibson Les Paul Standard
B&G Little Sister, P90s
Fender Custom Classic strat in Daphne blue
Gibson Les Paul Special Double Cutaway

Front: Feline Lion Supreme Slash 2

I think that the first B&G Little Sister I've seen on here (?) what do you think of it - seemed to have a lot of hype when it first appeared, always been tempted.

It’s lovely. Beautifully put together, and the nicest neck I think I’ve ever played: soft v profile. Plenty of chimy cleans from the P90s but they dirty up well when you dig in. Light and portable, and of course looks gorgeous.

Two negatives: upper fret access is limited (obviously), and my own playing style seems to have my right hand knocking the pickup covers, creating an interesting wow and flutter effect.

I've had it for approx 4 to 5 years. Its tone is way better than it should be for the price, and it handles nicely. Plus it's dead cute If I have any criticism, it's in the intonation dept, but with a new set of strings and after being fettled by a tech who knows what he's doing the intonation is tolerable. I think intonation worries me more than it does other people: I kept taking another guitar to my tech who in the end declared "There's nothing wrong with it just play the f___ing thing!". So maybe I'm a bit picky. I recommend anyone to try one of these, they are well worth the investigation and IMO the money too.

I don't know how long it will stay like this though.

@Bigsby AFAIK its a 1974 Special (no neck binding). The bridge is I believe normal for the time. There is evidence of small switches having been installed, and then removed as there are some wooden plugs for holes in the control area, but we can only guess at what they were for. The pickups are Seymour Duncan, as when I bought it (Roka's, Denmark Street, 1987) it had DiMarzio Super Distortions fitted. Only other work done since buying was a serious fret job as some of the frets were badly and unevenly worn and it wouldn't play in tune. It does now

@Phil_aka_Pip interesting - I have a 72/73 SG Special with mini-humbuckers.

It has the same bridge and also the two plugged holes for mini-switches.  I wonder if they drilled them all at the factory, then plugged the ones that weren't eventually destined to have the switches?

It also has a patched-in piece of wood behind the bridge pickup, as if it had originally been routed for a full-size humbucker.  I'll try and get a pic up later.

@Biddlin ; wow for an exclusively Gibbo family. What's the last one?

@Nitefly yes I'd be interested to see it

Here's how it is at the minute (more incoming... soon ish)

L-R:

Tokai PR100 (MIJ, DiMarzio pickups for now)
Blackmachine B6 (made by Feline, Oil City Blackbirds)
MJT Strat (Candy Green, Oil City StoneTones)
Gibson Flying V (Oil City Winterizer mini-hums)

On the floor is my Taylor 114ce and my Fender USA Deluxe Dimension V.

Just out of shot is my cheap Ibanez mandolin.

Here it is - notice the two plugs just left of the 3-way and above the volume control, also the fillet of wood between the bridge and the pick-up:



Sorry for the thread derail!

Phil_aka_Pip

Hmmm ... I definitely don't have the fillet by the back pickup. My SG is in its case at the other end of the music room which ATM is highly disorganised and until I move stuff out of the way  I can't get to it to check whether my little round plugs are in the same position as yours (working on it, putting some castors on a 4x12, then will have that plus another 4x12, a 1x15 bass bin, a keyboard combo, and a wedge monitor out of there and into where they will normally be stored).

My MJT Super Heavy relic. I loaded it with Klein Epic 1959 pickups. It sounds freakin' awesome.

My first MJT relic build. The fingerboard is Brazilian Walnut reclaimed from the Coney Island boardwalk. Pickups are Klein Jazzy Cats.

My Gretsch

My Eastman.  Chinese made hollowbody. Carved top and bottom. This thing is insanely good. I can play things on this guitar that I can't do on any of the others.

My latest acquisition - a 1969 Gibson Les Paul Goldtop. It's just had a major refurbish. Refretted with stainless steel, inlays reglued as they were cupping badly, fingerboard re-radiused and  bridge/tailpiece replaced . This guitar sounds AMAZING!!  The luthier who did the refret said the fingerboard is a very rare 'amazonian' rosewood. (?)
