Ringleader of the Cambridge cartel, pedal champ and king of the dirt boxes (down to 21)
Cheers I've only had it a couple of weeks swapped my chapman ml2 for it
Right, I've just given up waiting for MR forum to come back and signed up here Good to see all the same people still posting - I was starting to miss MR, even though I didn't post that often.
I just happen to have taken a recent shot of my instrument collection (to use as a FB background if you wonder about the odd shape!) so thought I may as well stick it on here.
I'm a wind player as well, so please feel free to ignore (or enjoy!) the wind instruments, but there's a fair bit of guitar content...
On the left, top to bottom:
1980s Hondo HL5, very under-rated L5 replica IMO, a really nice thing.
Tanglewood TW133ASM parlour.
Another '80s Hondo, Martin 12-string copy, playable but nothing like the quality of the L5.
Next column:
Cort Action 4 bass.
Gibson Melody Maker Special (recently won in Hartnoll's draw - thanks guys!)
Hagstrom Select Ultra Swede
Banjolin of unknown origin, probably 1920s
And a ukulele, cheap Chinese thing I steamed apart and rebuilt and actually plays quite well now.
Ignoring that, there's my Les Paul Goldtop - lovely lightweight 50s fat neck Studio thing. This is one of the original ones with a proper rosewood fingerboard and is so much better than the bores will tell you these are. Yes they are chambered, but this sounds exactly what you want a 50s-style p90'd Les Paul to sound.
The Black SG is a 2004 Special that I bought at a year old. I didn't want an SG, but it kinda found me in a shop... I tried it and within 2 mins of picking it up, I had paid for it. Its that good. The original pickups were great for "rawk" but I found them a bit 'meh' for cleaner stuff so swapped them out for the Classic '57s in there now. Another one that will go in the coffin.

cheers I think it's staying that way for now (although the Washburn is for sale and I quite want another Vigier...!)

Ha, no worries, I don't think I'm the only one to have done that
@Vibetronic Those fancy Ibanez in your last picture are SO opposite to my tastes, yet somehow really cool!
