If you’re on the market for more, these generic ones are virtually identical in quality for less:

I subbed to !guitar pedals a few days ago but my pedalboard is still a mess. I’ll straighten it out and post soon!

Thank you!

Yea, I was having trouble editing this post too because at first the picture was uploaded sideways for some reason. Just part of the growing pains of a new site, I guess.

Thanks!

I normally plug into my Marsh Deluxe Reverb clone but lately I’ve been alternating between and Fender Champion 600 and a Yamaha THR30.

Those are the only amps I have right now but they each fill they’re respective niches wonderfully.

Marsh is for when I want the whole setup. Champion is for when I want just guitar > cable > amp. THR30 is for when I have 5 minutes to plug and play quickly.

Lemme guess, you wanted blue paint for the walls but you didn’t want to wait so you took red instead?

Haha as long as you don’t feel like you settled, those are all wins!

I know your issue’s been solved already but for me it would come down to how you feel about the guitar body+neck. If you love the look and have some sentimentality attached to it, change the pickups. Otherwise get a new guitar

I’m normally drawn to 1mm or so tortex but I’ve recently been loving the John Petrucci jazz picks.

Love the red theme

Looks amazing! Any tips on how to cut plastic so that it looks as professional as yours does?

Not a custom shop order but back in 2021 while awaiting the arrival of my firstborn, I decided to treat myself to a Gibson ES-339 in transparent ebony during supply shortages. I’d call sweetwater at least twice a week to see if there was a any word on when they’d show up. Looked at countless YouTube unboxings and reviews, thought of which first songs to play on it, which amp I was going to run it through, essentially all the things you’re doing now.

One of the times I called Sweetwater my regular rep wasn’t there so I was connected with another guy (I’ll keep his name private in case this somehow gets him in trouble). Out of sheer curiosity, I asked him how much of a discount he could give me on a Sweetwater exclusive Lemonburst LP Standard and he said he could do $2100. I felt that was too good to pass up so I canceled the 339 order and switched to the LP. I’m so glad I did. It came a few weeks later and I haven’t looked back.

Moral of the story for me is, if I wait long enough for a guitar, I’ll lose interest and move on to something else.

Great tip!
