Something a little special

I know a guy…. Right @JohnnyGtar ?

 

[Robostyle]

I keep a few around. Not as many as you though, damn that is impressive!

 

[BeZo]

I hoard pedals.

Yes, and mowing the front yard is starting to become a bit of a challenge:

That and avoiding the wife's displeasure.

Oh LAWD! 12 spare pickups. For now. My brother from another mother @JackBootedThug is sending me some more.

I've only got 5 electric guitars. Therefore, I need more guitars to put these damn things into.

I have spoken and it is so.

 

[Hiwatts-n-Gibsons]

Nah, I have a couple kicking around. One that needs to be repaired, and a P-Rail bridge that needs to be installed. It's just that when I do the install I am totally rewiring the guitar with new 500k pots including two push/pulls for the bridge vol and tone, new caps, and a treble bleed for the neck pickup and have not been in the mood.

And I think somewhere there is a pair of Carvin humbuckers I ripped out of the LP Studio the P-Rail is going into. It currently has a Gibson Tarback I installed in that spot with TV Jones Supertron in the neck.

Cool gear trivia: the OG Gretsch Supertron it's based on was the world's first rail type humbucker. It balances single coil like clarity and attack with a dollop of humbucker beef, and is totally noiseless.

I'd love to check out some TV Jones pickups.

Lemme get one of those Distortions

So far I've had their T-Armond neck, Supertron neck, Magnatron neck, and a Powertron bridge. All of them are fantastic.

I don’t hoard but I also don’t really sell anything so I’ve got a bunch of spare pickups in boxes in my toolbox. Convenient when I want to try something new or am tired of a guitar’s current sound. I just go to the box and play musical pickups until I’m satisfied.

 

[ZEEGLER]

Not on purpose.

I just replace the pickups in almost every guitar I acquire, and I end up with a bunch of pickups I don't want. I guess I should sell or trade them.

I see several things in your future. A take off ramp, an unused landing ramp, a broken motorcycle and an extended hospital stay.

 

[VonBonfire]

Didn't realize they were wurf money I threw a lot of pickups in the trash.

Well, my Evel Knievel Stunt Cycle was my favorite toy when I was a kid, so maybe it's time to make that old fantasy a reality.

Broken bones, here I come!
