Dang dude,
that is a nice collection

That gif reminds me of the first time I saw Peaches perform

Ohhhh man. That JM. More pics??

Came in here to post about the G&L Tribute Fallout I just got. It's my second new guitar since I started playing again and I'm so fucking happy with it. Don't need to post a pic because obvs you can google those words and see a pic. Whatever.

But then I come in here and see that pink thing. Fuck. Maybe I need to sell all my instruments and buy some acid and rethink my life.

Fallouts are so rad. I was eyeing one at my local shop for awhile. Which color did you get?

Just need some knobs and to intonate. I actually threw in some spare pickups that I found around the house and not the pickups that I ordered, I am still waiting on those.
But I'm actually kind of digging the pickups that I threw into it? Squier Fat Telecaster 'humbucker' bridge pickup, and a '51 Nocaster neck pickup. 4 way switching. I have the pickups hiked up pretty high to get the output to be more what I am akin to. Still not quite there compared to my EGCs, but still plays well with my board from the 5 minutes I spent playing through it. The 4 way switching is sweet. I sawed off the 22nd fret on the neck. Kinda goofy, but whatever, I don't like necks that hang over. Just need to find a solid set of knobs.

The finish is nice and thin, I put a few small dents in it here and there accidentally while working on it, but it's pretty cool to see dark masonite beneath and not a lighter wood.

What year is the Silverburst?

interesting question...i could say its a 1978...but that would be a lie.

this is a 2005 Epiphone LPC...I had it refinished in proper silverburst, tinted and finished in nitro. The headstock was reshaped and we got a VOS Gibson overlay to put over the top. I changed out the wiring and put better pots in and put in Burstbucker Pro's...and a few weeks ago installed steel faber bridge parts. The thing is amazing now...sounds great and plays really well too. Sometime in the future i might change the nut as well...but its not a priority at the moment.

sure...here's some more

Funny, on closer inspection, the fretboard is rosewood, ya?

Fullerton Red, which is great. I'd chose that in a heartbeat. Only concession is that I prefer a maple fretboard, but the only tribute model that had that was Sonic Blue, and it really wasn't doing it for me. Everything else about it is great though.

10/10, would give $$$ for dirge tele.

Yeah. At some point i might die the fretboard...but not really fussed about it. It currently sounds and feels amazing so im pretty content with it as is.
