Is your one reliced at all? Looks like it has a lovely flame on it as well, enjoy!

Here's a close pic of the body to see the ever so slightly relic'd features.

Beautiful. Don't forget to take that sticker off the scratchplate.

Very smart. Looks ripe for a bit of Al Di Meola.

Now we're talking. Prog guitar with the silly bits removed. Love his first album.

You can still see where the sticker was on the scratchplate of my son's Stratocaster when it was hung in the window of Selfridges in London, it infuriates me but the guitar is so lovely that I can live with it.

Have you tried a bit of alcohol gel to get it off? The stuff is great for stubbon marks and sticker stains. Just a little on a cloth.

Worked great the time when I started playing my first guitar only to realise I had pen on my hands at 15! Got the blue marks off a treat.

Hopefully the pics work, here's my two:



The Strat is a 1989 American Standard in Clapton-esque Pewter which I've played on and off for the better part of 20 years, it's something I'll never tire of, nor part with

The Les Paul is a 2015 Standard in Heritage Cherry Sunburst, it's utterly phenomenal

And here's the latest edition to the family:



Similar to an earlier poster, it's a PRS SE Custom 24 in Grey-Black Quilt. It's my first experience of PRS, and it's pretty lovely to play

So I've decided that I really need to build myself a pedal board.... better start buying some pedals!

Just a Time Machine, a chorus (Wampler Nirvava) and a reverb (Wampler faux spring) to go.... and the one-spot power, with a Fuel Tank T-Rex. And the case! (+cables) Better get saving again....

Wampler faux spring is awesome but limited to (surprise) a spring reverb sound - I have one and it's almost always on.
I'd buy some pancake jacks off ebay and make the cables up yourself.

Also look at the pedal train with the voodoo lab supply, comes with a case and the power supply sits under the board.

Ah, that's really helpful, thank you.

Gulp. Someone else has bought a 2015 LP despite all the venom directed against them. They are bloody good aren't they and I luuurve the neck.

All lovely, but I'm loving the far left of the organics.

I also just purchased a 2015 LP - and I love it! The auto-tune is pretty cool, bit of a gimmick for sure but nice.

Here is my custom Jag (I've had to sell most of my guitars because I am moving to Australia tomorrow! - might post other pics at some point).

Love that gibson es175. What year is that from?

[IainT]

Loving the Organics.

[BorkFactor]

Quite a collection you have there, all stunning guitars!

Love the ES175 especially, what is it like?

[CornfordCarrera]

The ES175 isn't mega old, 1995, but then again that was 20 years ago now! I play it with flatwounds (Thomastik Infelds) on currently, primarily for jazz and the occasional rockabilly track. I think it might be switching roles for some upcoming gigs though and putting some normal round wounds on it. Its an amazing guitar, phenomenal tone and playability.

The far left Organic is also an amazing instrument. Its so small and is fully hollow so its light as a feather! Its the smallest fully hollow guitar I've ever seen in fact, I'd be interested to see if there is anything else out there similar.

It's horses for courses though. When I tried a Standard and a Traditional recently, they didn't feel like a classic Les Paul. The feel of the neck changes everything. There are LPs out there for people that want the older feel, but sadly they are comparatively expensive, even by Standard standards.
