I love my Cherry PP Strat-O-Sonic! I would say its close to a dual P90 SG.
-
I second that!

I'm piling on in favor of the reverend. I have a first year korean jetstream and it's been my go to guitar since I got it, despite getting into higher end stuff the past year or so. It plays great, sounds great, is unique yet classy, just an all-around great guitar. I'd love a US Reverend at some point. Hope the other dude doesn't get cold feet. That's the only thing I'd be worried about with this trade.

I think your pup choice should work out fine. Don't forget a push/pull pot. I would probably use it in the tone position to be the least obtrusive. As to the OP, I've come to believe a lot of the Tele sound comes as much from the construction and materials as it does the pups themselves.

Can't really go wrong with a deluxe reverb. Solid amp choice. Nice playing! The DRRI is a great match for your style.

This thread inspired me to take anew shot of my Jetstream 390! Kinda fuzzy. Sorry. Probably shoulda used my tripod and timer.
-
Reverends are so awesome! Love mine!
-
Anyone played the hand-wired series? What are your thoughts on those? What about boutique clones like Hayseed?
-
you're giving up an MIA Fender and a DRRI? i think he's getting the better end of the deal. I agree. It doesn't get much better than that for tons of classic tones, regardless of what the prices are.

Guitars you *almost* pulled the trigger on

1995, a Ric 650 Dakota for $600. OMG! Those are such bada$$ guitars! -
Guitars you *almost* pulled the trigger on
photon9 replied to slushpup96's topic in Electric Guitars
Another one I should have pulled the trigger on was a Parker PM20 at the local GC for $350. It was fantastic but I felt like I didn't really need another single cut 2 HB guitar and passed. -

photon9 replied to slushpup96's topic in Electric Guitars
I saw a DeArmond X155 at GC last year for $424. Went home to think about it, like I always do, came back the next day and it was gone. It would have been the perfect rockabilly type guitar. They go for $600 routinely on ebay. -
Most OVERRATED/OVERPRICED Piece of Gear Out There Right Now?
photon9 replied to steve_man's topic in Electric Guitars
I love Zappa Plays Zappa, and consider Dweezil an incredible player, but this guitar is overpriced AND ugly. For some reason those two words seem to go hand in hand. And I've seen absolutely zero footage of him using this guitar. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitars/prs-private-stock-dweezil-zappa-ltd-run-9-of-50-electric-guitar -
Hendrix's vintage psychedelic tone Revealed in old rare photo
photon9 replied to bluesguitar65's topic in Electric Guitars
Hendrix is alive. After the successful faking of his death he took some time to gather himself and eventually he started doing consulting for guitar companies. He is responsible for the great leaps in gear tonal nirvana achieved by Behringer, Rouge, Estaban, and others. He also invented disco and the internet. I met him in Binghampton, NY at a Metal show! -
Anyone else having a hard time selling gear on CL lately?
photon9 replied to guitarman3001's topic in Electric Guitars
I don't think I would sell anything over CL. I used to prefer buying over CL, but it's just so sketchy when you think about it. Unless there was something really rare and unique that I couldn't find anywhere else, I probably wouldn't do it again. -
why dont guitar/amp/pedal cos advertise on TV?
photon9 replied to Angry Tele's topic in Electric Guitars
They've had some GC commercials on TV in my area. Other than that I don't see music gear commercials. But I agree it's a niche market, and generally guitarists are aware of the brands through other means, there's really no need for commercials. -
POLL: Is Eddie Van Halen The Greatest Rock guitarist to ever live?
photon9 replied to DaveAronow's topic in Electric Guitars
No he's not. Not even top 20 IMO. But your 'guitarists of the 80s were phenomenal and guitarists now totally suck' thread makes perfect sense now. -
If you could only have ONE electric guitar...what would it be?
photon9 replied to streetknight's topic in Electric Guitars
One of each? !! -
If you could ask Jimi Hendrix just ONE question..
photon9 replied to monto's topic in Electric Guitars
I met him once. Apparently he faked his own death and now lives in relative anonymity as a homeless dude in upstate NY. I asked him if he was the Jimi Hendrix. He said "hell yeah, what you think I'm crazy?". True story. -
As if we needed it, now we have a reason to HATE John Mayer
photon9 replied to docjeffrey's topic in Electric Guitars
It was a tad over the top but not having the questions posted it's easy to take what he said out of context. Sounds to me like he wasn't REALLY expecting anyone to actually read a playboy article, nevermind pick it to pieces. He was probably just goofing off as usual while sipping an aged single malt scotch. -
If you look at high-end jazz boxes, they don't call the floating pickguard a pickguard. They call it a finger rest. That is cool. I never knew that.
-
I do brace on solos. I never realized that your not supposed to. I've made half hearted attempts to play unbraced but it feels like my picking hand is out in space and I lose all sense of orientation and precision.

Mustaine looks like a girl on the new MF catalog...
