... not mine unfortunately, but I do have two early Nocasters. These were the original prototypes number R001 / 002, spare 30k anyone? On eBay:

Nice collection!

Do you tend to favour one playing style/guitar or do you regularly dabble in different styles?
Thanks smile

I go through phases really, right now I'm playing a lot of metal which I find very challenging as I'm a rhythm player not a shredder, but you're never too old to learn new tricks I guess!

I usually play 90's-style US rock more than anything which the Mustang does better than the others so that's been my favoured guitar really, but my tastes go from Taylor Swift to Buddy Holly to Prodigy, so I can be found faffing with anything from related genres. I really like crossing genres too, so I'll sometimes play some Adele in a djent-style or some Iron Maiden in a country-style, which the RP1000 really comes in handy for.

I'd like to add a Les Paul to the collection too, was looking at a handful of Epiphone & Gibson ones on Saturday so may pick one up at some point for something flexible. My old man and I are also mid-progress in building a soundproof studio outside that I can use to really crank the volume up, plus house an acoustic drum kit in there too as the electric kit now has to reside in the loft as I'm running out of room in the house laugh

That does look nice. I had no idea there were so many variations of the JEM

Sold my 50's reissue SG recently as i just didn't get on with it, which left a guitar sized hole, so this morning this arrived





First impressions are that it's brilliant - really well set up and a great sound,

Changed the tortoise shell pickguard back to the original colour. New set of strings and a proper setup.

Plays a dream.

Neck feels good. Bit heftier than my strat if you play them back to back but otherwise not noticeable. Believe that these have the thinner Gibson neck - definitely not baseball bat like.

Great tone to it though - just been murdering Albatross with this and a loop pedal while the Mrs is out hehe

A 30th reissue - and not rosewood so CITES won't be an issue. Nice choice!

Having managed to secure a LNG JEM777 30th anniversary, it duly arrived.
What a machine.
Different to the FP2; in both feel and sound.
Wasn't as well setup as the FP2 (which was nigh on perfect out of the box) , but 20 mins with the supplied tools and it was perfect (mostly action).
And I do mean PERFECT !

it is such a machine to play - just eggs you on to go on playing for longer and Longer - which has also allowed me to dive deeper in the the Helix - another superb tool.
So here they are side by side smile

Thanks! I think I ordered them from Thomann, was a good year or so ago, though.
