It's not a lot of fun following you, Mark, but here it goes:
Peavey T-15. Without a doubt, the hottest Single Coils I've ever played.
This is an Eastwood Guyatone, Peavey T-60, and Eastwood Sidejack:

I didn't know those were single coils! They are HUGE....
What are the Eastwoods like?
Here is my little "studio". Its not too impressive, but my goal was to have a set up in my apartment that i could have fun with, was easy to use without a lot of set up time. Being divorced and paying lots of child support, i had to be frugal. All told, not counting the Ovation Balladeer, which belongs to my lovely GF, i have a little over $1400 in this whole setup. At the heart is a behringer PA, in which goes a Korg bass effects, V-amp, Alesis drum machine, CD player. I have a Tascam DP-01 recorder, SM-57, and various other stuff, including the good ol' MicroCube.
Anyhow, for those without much cash take heart, i accumulated this over a couple years patiently watching ebay, or musicians freind for dent n ding stuff. Its not high quality, but its fun, and flexible, and easy to use.

I have been in this apartment here in murrieta for six years. What you see is basically the whole living room, there isnt a TV or couch in it, all just music stuff. hahahaha.
The Squier '51 is normally my go-to guitar. I love the bucker, it really is better than one would think, and having a single coil at the neck is always nice, although its a less impressive pickup. But the neck on mine is just lovely, and doesn't have the saw tooth fret ends as i have heard some complain about.
The tele is an SX from balsa wood and spit music. I love the neck on it as well. When they say jumbo frets, they arent kidding, they are like bass guitar frets, so a light touch is useful during chording. The pickups are pretty lousy however, im thinking of getting some guitar fetish ones to swap out. The nut needed some work, i sanded the grooves and used a little pencil shavings in them and now it tunes wonderfully.
As i said, these are all cheapies, but i have fun with them. If i ever get the money id like a MIM fat strat.

You guys are making me jealous! I'm stuck with a Fender Squire and this...

That's not me posting the video, but I have the same guitar. My Dad picked up at Target for 50 bucks...It was on some major clearance...It's not much, but hey, can't argue with $50. I'll get a picture of my Squire and the Lyon eventually...too lazy to do it right now ;D

Hi Jake,
You're killing your guitar's mojo! It's a Squier ... now it will play better.

I really suck at photographing guitars but here are two Epiphones I've bought in the last twelve months:
An Epiphone Super Dot:.
The flame finish which doesn't show up too well above is just so beautiful:
This is the Epi LP Ultra I got in October last year:
The Ultra is chambered and is about 5lbs lighter than a normal LP.
(Yes ... I know I'm behind in my yardwork! ;D )

I have a student who has a regular Epiphone and it is a pretty cool guitar...I might end up looking for something I can play Jazz on that fits in my budget and this is intriguing...what makes it a "Super Dot"?

Have you compared it to a regular Gibson Les Paul Standard? What does it sound most like with the chambering?

Super Dot is a Limited Edition. The only differences are the flame finish and the rectangular fretboard inlays rather than the standard dots.
I'm not sure you'll find one new anymore. I bought it last month new from the local Epi dealer but its serial number indicates it was made in 2006.
Now you're asking difficult questions as I'm just a beginner - luckily as a retired 'old fart' I can indulge some of my GAS attacks!
So no, I haven't done the comparison. Reviews on the chambering say it gives the guitar a more 'bluesy' sound that is different to the average Les Paul.
I remember reading somewhere that Gibson is chambering a lot of their LPs now but I don't know if that is true or not.

Hmm....I was thinking there would be more than a cosmetic difference....
Dalron said:
They are chambering pretty much everything...this is what most Les Pauls look like inside these days:
It kind of makes me sad that you can't get a solid guitar from them anymore...there is a big difference in tone...

After re-reading this the next day, I just wanted to assure you, Jake, that I meant no offence by this post - it was meant to be humour but I realise now it may not read that way.

Ron

Don't worry about it bro. Did you see my post? The most expensive electric i have i think was the Ibanez, it was a "Stupid Deal of the Day" for about $140. The Silvertone les paul looking thing was $30 bucks delivered from M123 clearance! If you take the time to set up a guitar well, set the intonation, maybe work on the nut a bit, put some good strings on it, it will serve you plenty well. Hours of fun for sure.
