    ...and make sure it's LOADED. As mentioned in THIS THREAD, Gibson has come out with a Clapton "Beano" LP Standard, and they're starting to hawk it at MF. You know you're in trouble when they won't even quote a price, and refer you to a phone number where you can speak to one of their "Private Reserve guitar advisors". Yeah, right--probably to hook you up with a bank, so you can take out a second mortgage to pay for it....

    For the independently wealthy among you:

    And I like how it's gonna come in three varieties--funny, I only thought EC had one! Collect all three and be the envy of your (fellow psycho) friends.

    Considering Gibson's long and illustrious history, the present-day management seems bent on destroying the company's future viability.

    I wonder how putting Clapton's name on this guitfiddle affects his endorsement of Fender...

    Again, this one's ridiculously overpriced (if it's $6,000), but we've come to expect that from Gibby.

    Fender 2006 MIM Fender Stratocaster HSS in 3TS
    Ibanez RG 570 with a bridge Invader
    ESP M II Deluxe with a Tune-o-Matic bridge

    Blackstar HT Club 40

    I always wonder who buys stuff like this. Nobody that I know can afford to blow $6K on something like this. For that much money it better be one incredible instrument.

    I did hear that the MSRP is $6K. It is nice, though.

    Guitars: Lots.
    Amphs: More than last year.
    Pedals: Many, although I go straight from guitar to amp more often lately.

    There's one big problem with that guitar: it's not a Fender

    Brian, I see you hated the stock pups, too...

    I yanked those stock pups out and the ones in there now I got from a Heritage Firebird...
    Those stock pups were obnoxiously hot..which led to obnoxious tone...

    With these you can hear the guitar..the amp..the pick dynamics a lot better...rather than just pups screaming their guts out...
