Hi folks,
I am suffering a severe case of GAS! Gear Acquisition Syndrome and I know I am not the only patient struck with this disease. Guitars come and guitars go… as a collector I have a constant flow of gear coming in and every now and then some things have to go. Stay tuned to this site for gear reviews, demo’s and other silly stuff. I’ll post regular updates and items I put up for sale. Please check out Pro Guitar Center on Youtube and social media:
2019 barely started and yet a second addition to the stash this year. An eye-catching Gibson Les Paul Standard in blueberry burst! Me so happy, … me love it long time!
It is very hard to catch the triple-A flame top in a pic and it screams to be played. Equipped with Burstbucker Pro pickups and an innovative wiring to benefit from a vast array of tonal options. Alnico V magnets capture the subtile variations of the tone and with the slim taper asymmetrical neck and fast-action rosewood fingerboard this guitar becomes a genuine rock-machine.
The electronics are versatile. Unmatched bobbins for true humbucker tone. Push-pull control knobs for coil split, coil tap, highpass filtering and out-of-phase sounds. The 2019 Standard features 5 internal dip switches for more tonal control. I haven’t tried them out yet and I wonder if I ever will… enough options already.
I matched this tone monster with a Marshall Astoria combo and an Alec Bradley “American” cigar, P-E-R-F-E-C-T! Even the neighbour came knocking on my door and asked me to be less loud so he could sleep. I said “no”! Poor neighbour, he came by bike all the way … for nothing!
Stay tuned, I will be posting demo vids with the Gibson Les Paul Standard soon.
Keep rockin’, stay smokey!
Sorry folks, vandaag geen blog, rant of ander hersenspinsel. Een late Sinterklaas (of vroege Kerstman) heeft iets door mijn schouw gepropt. Vandaag is het Gibson-day! (Gibson Modern Standard Double Cut in Metallic Alien Green.) Waar heb ik die verdomde plectra weer gelaten… ?
