The Muse I Adorn

Well....it’s another night, and I’m going at the same loop...five chords of bliss. Different guitar, I’m playing over last night‘s loop. It’s a Gladiator GG-165....LP Special-ish beastie, with Wilkinson P90s. This thing is freakishly good sounding...well beyond expectations...with a moderately fat neck, that I find quite comfortable. I think I’m gonna hafta find another Well Hung strap for my LP style guitars that have strap locks...I’m spoiled now. Anyway...pic’s...right?...

Fun stuff!
reminds me I need a looper
 
This is getting a lot of well deserved love today. Acoustically, the guitar rings like a bell. It has awesome playability. Plugged in, the pickup is smooth,, yet crisp, and with the volume rolled down, it sounds identical to a neck pup. The only issue is that I cannot seem to adjust this pickup height!!

Thanks for sending this one over @ChasFred

This is Brittney. She is getting a lot of attention lately.
This is the guitar I found in the trash, Brittney = trashy.
I love it when she talks dirty, but also when she is clean, yet oh so coy.....

Except, the neck pickup sounds crummy clean playing open chords - the raised G pole just doesnt mesh well.
I forgot to try lowering it a hair; will try that soon.
I may pull it apart and take a grinder to the pole as an experiment.

She cleans up nicely!! Glad you sent Brittany to rehab and got her back on her feet again. You did it again!!

Do you want to raise or lower the pickup? If raise you can always cut a shim from gasket paper or gasket rubber.
I you need to lower . . . well then get out the Dremel Tool.
 
Tonight's guitar is similar to last night's guitar which are both similar to the guitar I am trying NOT to buy, as a reminder that I do not need that guitar...which I want...but do not need...and should not get because they are similar...yet not the same...but still similar enough that I should NOT get it.
