The only thing better than finding your favorite guitar...

[GOHOINC]

Finding a second one...

I think I'm going to put either a bigsby or a les trem on one to make them different enough to justify this in my mind... The necks on these feel and play better to me than pretty much any other guitar I've ever played.

No need to spoil it, enjoy as is. Tune one to E flat or D and there you have a justification for having 2

What particular LPs these are? Cool color!

Nice! I had one of those back in the day, but for some reason we just didn't get along.

GORGEOUS!!!

So...which one is the favorite? They cannot both be favorites.
The word "favorite" denotes number one.
I'm betting the green one is your favorite.

My kids tell me the same thing...

Ha actually you might be right the new one is slightly more green than the one I had, and I might just like it a little more. I'll say this, the new instantly became at least number 2 if not number 1...

 

[BeZo]

Yep.

I don't think that I have ever seen one of those. Have been on a LPC hunt too. Is this a rare color?

Yes.

Congrats!

I have many favorites; I enjoy variety, and my favorite changes at the moment's notice. Favorite hardtail, favorite floating trem, and favorite all-around guitars, and I have a two or a few of each.

They've done aged or antiqued Pelham runs a few times but these 07s are the first I ever saw in this color.

I could tell the black one on the left was likely the best one by looking at your picture. For it has the densest and darkest piece of rosewood. I wish I had a three-peat of my main axe. I bet you can really cook on that baby.

I’m always on the hunt for 26th Hamer SSI.

It is the darkest fretboard for sure, and I never really thought of that being the reason it's my number 1. It's actually the first one I acquired and the reason that I ended up getting two more. But honestly, it's really tough to pick a favorite because they are damn near identical playability and tone-wise. Having said that, I most definitely play that one the most.

Decided on the bigsby, with a vibramate, in case I change my mind. But on first play I don't think I will. Also put on a tonepros roller bridge, tuning seems stable even after a bunch of heavy bar work. This bigsby is also string through as stock, no pins, pretty easy to string up.

Not nearly the tone change you might read about or expect. I don't really detect any loss of sustain or additional muddy or bright tones. Its the same sound with added flutter when wanted. This is fun.
