That is sweet, congrats on the new axe @JD01!
What is that exactly?

Re: SNGGDAISIDLG
Ooh nice! And with P90s, that's awesome!
Is that an ES-175? I don't remember what the thinline semi-hollows are called. Trying to read the headstock...125? 195?

Re: SNGGDAISIDLG
ES135. They're P100 pickups so Greg tells me. Hopefully he can explain what that means.

Re: SNGGDAISIDLG
Nice score buddy! That appears to check a bunch of boxes you have been busy filling out the last little bit or so. Looks old as shit too. What's the story on this one?
Re: SNGGDAISIDLG
I think it's a 1991. Lovely to play. Only noticed when I got it home that it really smells of smoke. Will oil and string it later.WhiskeyJack wrote: ↑Tue Jun 13, 2023 2:53 pm Nice score buddy!

Re: SNGGDAISIDLG
You're going to have to practice your jazz licks now... consider getting a hat and growing a wispy moustache.
Nice score - didn't know you were actively looking for something like this.

Re: SNGGDAISIDLG
That's a beautiful guitar. If it sounds half as good as it looks, I'm sure it'll be incredible. Enjoy it!
Re: SNGGDAISIDLG
Looks like something out of a Joe Pass video, very nice. Now all you have to do is make it sound like Joe Pass
Re: SNGGDAISIDLG
Yeah, I'd been looking for a while for a nice semi-hollow guitar. I'd never heard of an ES135 though until I saw it hanging on the hook in the shop. When I chose the guitars I wanted to try, I wasn't expecting to like it, I wasn't mainly just curious how it would feel in comparison to the Les Paul, and 339s I was trying.
One curious thing, do you think the long gap from the bridge to the tailpiece adds tension? It feels quite hard to bend on, but I do have a damaged tendon pully at the moment cos I dislocated a finger surfing last month.

Good question. I've only ever had guitars where the string anchor is right next to the bridge, so don't really know the answer - you'd think the same string tension between two points would offer the same resistance irrespective of the anchor style / distance, but you can definitely feel differences for 3 aside v 6 in line headstocks for the same scale length, so who knows. Although these could be nut related and bridge related as well. One for muttley, perhaps.
Re: SNGGDAISIDLG
If they are actually P100s, that means they are stacked P90s. Less noisy. Like a P90 with a dummy humbucker coil.

Re: SNGGDAISIDLG
Various spec sheets for them say P100. Sounds good and feel great anyway. How are you?
Re: SNGGDAISIDLG
Utterly fucking knackered, trying to drag myself through each day, hoping I have enough energy when the kids have gone to sleep to play some music.
Just local/texas? Or did you go off on a proper holiday?
