Essentially have this completed. I still need to plug in a few things, but more or less complete.
 
This guitar started life as a Sergio Vallin sig Strat that I bought new 9 years ago. But, I mod'd the f'k out of it because that's what you do ;) Lollar pups with chrome rings, reversed the knobs (the tone knob was stock closest to the strings), added a push pull humbucker splitter, and a 10 way freeway pickup switch. It also did have a boss GK-3 pickup installed at one time. I removed that but the little rubber height spacers are still there by the bridge.

This guitar has been in storage for awhile because the freeway switch crapped out some time ago and needs replacement. So it's time to make it reborn again with a simple 3 way switch, and overall setup and cleaning.

Realized yesterday (can I post something from yesterday in this thread? :unsure:) that I no longer own any floating locking trem guitars!

At one point I had 4 Floyds and an Ibanez LoPro Edge. All gone. Didn't specifically set out to hate any of them, and could deal with setup of each well.

Perhaps the universe worked its magic behind the scenes?

So window shopping again already?? :crazy

I've been going down a rabbit hole that I probably shouldn't....

It started with the Do Something challenge and getting the bright idea I was going to cover a new Gilmour tune, he's using the weirdest fucking tone I've ever heard him use on the solo.

(timestamped)


That doesn't sound like a Strat to me, way too much midrange honk and not Strat-y at all. He's got a Yamaha RA-100 rotating cab on tour with him but even he's not trying to recreate this tone, so there's that to feel better about.

I started learning the solo while tweaking, this is where I'm at so far.


He always gets credits for his bends and I know I'm guilty of associating that with the big bends, but this solo is full of these tiny little bends into other notes, they're so subtle and really understated, they're a bitch to nail.
 
I am taking pictures for insurance purposes. We are directly in Milton's crosshairs... So I am taking pictures of my more valuable instruments, casing them up and storing them as high as I can. We are a block and a half from the Braden river. :(

So, I thought I'd post a pic of my Gibsons

This is our 3rd round this yr.. Debby was mostly a rain event. We got 23.4" of rain in our rain gauge over the 3 days it took to pass. Helene was mostly wind. Our barrier islands (Longboat and Anna Maria Island) 6 miles west of us got absolutely destroyed. And now the projected landfall of Milton is right over us as a Cat3-4 Weds night :cuss
 
I was just telling JT in a PM, I’m not as concerned about the hurricane itself down here in Broward, but the flooding that’ll come along with it. We’ve been getting rained on for the last 3 days and the ground is already submerged, the street next to my apartment was under 4”-6” of water last night and that’s just normal rain water, we’ll be in some shit if the rain doesn’t let up.
