These two are bringing the goods, leaning more on the SG now I’ve tweaked the action.

Current state of play. Need to find something that sounds similar to the PB&J that’s a bit more gig friendly, it just works so well in front of a dirty amp.

I always find it a struggle to use reverb in a live setting, feels like my guitar sounds smaller when I have it engaged. Guess I’ve just not found the right reverb, nice score matey.

Stuck some new tuners on the old faithful, as the old ones were struggling a little. These were what I had lying around to upgrade my squire strat’s stock tuners but kinda needed to sort this guitar out ready for gigging duties.

Not doing too bad after 17 years

That guitar should've come ...

Extension cab arrived today.

DSL20CR and MX112R.

Hoping it will be plenty loud enough for gigging with on its own, but if not it’ll be plenty loud with the extension cab.

Or tempted to run the origin into the 1x12 and have a wet/dry or stereo rig. Just need a decent delay pedal now.

Indeed I did and it was good. Tempted to stick some 11’s on it, as the 10’s feel a little light due to the scale length.

Looking to stick a greenback or creamback in the Marshall and a lower gain preamp tube in V1 to tame the ultra channel as it’s quite gainy quite early on the dial.

Bonus ...

This is also pretty fucking sweet! Looks brand new and sounds really nice. I can get that Marshall crunch but at comfortable home levels.

It’s was the yungblud SG Jr she got me. She knew one of my first guitars was a cherry red Epiphone SG jr and that i had your tokai and wished I’d kept it. It’s also the only one she liked the look of from ones I’d had saved in my wish list on my phone.

It’s actually really nice, fairly weighty and ...

she's went and bought you your least favourite guitar in the world but you'll have to pretend you love it and play it all the time so's not to break her little heart


Wouldn’t be the first time, though she knows I’ve been looking at a few things. She did show me a red coronet reissue and i said ...

Well played Tim, just spat out my oat milk americano as I saw this

So the plot has thickened as efty saw me looking at guitars and started shouting at me that I shouldn’t get one now and I need to wait till my birthday before I start looking for them. There was a DPD delivery at home today, which she ran to the door to answer and made me wait in the living room and ...

In fact a cheeky message to see if it’s available has resulted in a reduction to £280 if I can collect it asap. Unwanted present for this guys kid.

Although this is currently on market place for £300.

I’m not a fan of yungblud but his SG Jr doesn’t look too shabby.

If I wanted another strat I’d been quids in, anything else seems to be high price and shit condition at the moment.

Thanks for all the responses, especially the heads up on your jag Andy.

It’s all dependent on how many birthday pennies I receive. Might be a slow burner until I have enough funds.

Keep stumbling on cheap tokais but they are the non MIJ ones.

We’ve been rehearsing at the same place in Derby for 10-15 years. Natural light would be lovely. As we’ve been regulars there for that amount of time, they usually look after us and let us store our stuff.

I always bring my own amp and cab, mainly as I get a chance to use it in a loud environment ...

It kinda looks like hurb’s sex as feck jag he’s just refin. That thing looks amazing.

This looks bloody nice!!

The kinda gain I go for is that Malcolm young rhythm sound, so not too gainy and quite open sounding. The klon gives me enough gain for it to stand up for lead work or heavier tones. I reckon the classic gain channel would work for that probably. Not interested in the ultra gain channel, unless it’s ...
