mjmooney Posted June 3, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted June 3, 2013 (edited) That's why I went for my Gibson Sonex back in the 80s - it was clearly an attempt to get the best of both worlds, effectively a Les Paul crossed with a Telecaster. Two pairs of humbuckers, but with a coil tap switch to get that trebly single coil sound when you want it. Schaller machines that stay in tune through anything you like, and the whole thing is built like a brick shithouse - very heavy (in the actual weight sense!), so it's hard work on the shoulders, but it sustains like a bitch. I would ideally have liked lower profile frets, but I've got used to the neck after all these years. I love it. This should really be in the VT Musicians thread.

PompeyVillan Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Yeah I was tempted by a coil tapping humbucker but have been playing with humbuckers for 10 years and have never owned a single coil pickup guitar (of any note). The problem being, the research I've undertaken in the purchase of this guitar has led me to love guitars even more. It's good that they retain their value as I can see myself spending a fair amount of money on equipment in the near future. In desperate need of a tube amp now, been playing without for too long.

hogso Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 It cheered me up on the bus home yesterday when I saw a girl wearing a Villa shirt - "Kelly 18". I like it when I see people around the town representing, it doesn't happen nearly often enough for my liking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather eat Hersheys than eat white chocolate. Honest to god, Hersheys! Close call. I dislike white chocolate pretty intensely, but... Thorntons' white chocolate truffles are actually quite tolerable, so I'd eat those ahead of Hersheys. If it was between Hersheys and the execrable Milky Bar though, I'd have a real problem, both are equally disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted June 4, 2013 Moderator Share Posted June 4, 2013 I don't think 'good' or quality examples of white chocolate would improve it for me because it's the 'whiteness'* of the taste that I don't like. So if anything, making it 'even more whitey goodness' could make it worse for me. Just awful.* hard to articulate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, you can't tell. The exception that proves the rule - they don't have that "whitey taste". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
