Members DonK Posted December 6, 2014 Members Share Posted December 6, 2014 I'm pretty settled on pedals after nearly 40 years of experimenting, lol. Only ones this year were a Keeley Compressor (the best out there after trying everything else; I got the 4-knob) and a Fishman Aura 16 (for acoustic guitar, damn cool pedal). As to other stuff, I should preface by saying that since I've been playing for over 40 years, there's not much I haven't owned or tried (I still have about 40 guitars and 20 amps). After starting guitar in the early 70's and building a (very) modest collection of stuff back then, I sold it all to pay for college. Starting in the mid-90's I got back into playing, and even more into collecting, so I've got a pretty good museum of stuff today - much of it high-end - and thus there's not much left that I want to own that I haven't already owned or own. The final things on my list are - mostly - a Stephen Stills Gretsch White Falcon and Len Dudenbostel dreadnought acoustic. Last thing I bought? A Fender Pawnshop Offset Special in shell pink that I got at a blowout price of $489, usual price is around $800. Cool instrument: great playability with a sound akin to a Fender Tele Deluxe. A total novelty for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AJ6stringsting Posted December 7, 2014 Members Share Posted December 7, 2014 I bought a H-S-H Jackson PS-4 Dinky with a reverse headstock, I installed a couple of Dimarzio Evolutions and a Dimarzio Fast track 2 in the middle. Plus a foot punchin device for my ancient Tascam 488 and 424 multi track recorders . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members IRG Posted December 8, 2014 Members Share Posted December 8, 2014 Those epis look and sound great. Wish i wasnt such a shallow guy when it comes to headstocks. The Epi headstocks don't bother me at all. In fact I kind of like 'em. I replaced the knobs on my '56 to gold top hats, like it better. This is my 1960 v3. Unmodded. 1/2" thick maple top, Gibson Burstbucker 1/2 in it, long neck tenon: And the 2010 Tribute, also with long neck tenon, 1/2" maple top, and Gibson '57's in it. I added the gold speed knobs to it, otherwise stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members IRG Posted December 9, 2014 Members Share Posted December 9, 2014 just repurchased a digitech express xt. wonderful looper. Does the Express XT sound different, tonally, than the Jamman Solo XT? I was thinking it was different, but am now not sure. I want to write up a looper article, those in the $100 up to $199 range.

The xt sounds as good as the pigtronix infinity though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
