    I am in two minds about the finish though, you can't see it in the pictures, but it's meant to be a satin finish, but there are areas which have become shiny from being played, so half tempted to polish the whole guitar.

    I see your dilemma, but I do like the satin finish, possible to re-instate it at all?

    If not I'd go down the polish route and do the whole thing as that would be pretty sweet

    Now if only I knew someone who was good at polishing

    Another added to the growing collection, five string bass this time, much to the dismay of Mrs. Jem!

    Today I folded and bought a Gibson Custom ES335 in Cherry Red. It is quite possibly the most gorgeous sounding instrument I have come across. I think the P90s might have a lot to do with that. So versatile too and the P90s have coil taps on them! So many sound combinations. I have taken some photos I'll upload tomorrow.

    -edit- Bugger it, too excited to wait

    Used to own an RG42DX, well made, heavy, lovely neck, but just too muddy sounding, way too much Mahogany to sound bright

    I fixed the muddy sound in my Les Paul this weekend with new pickups and a coil cut switch. So much bite now for lead riffs it's unreal! Waiting for two more push/pull pots to turn up to wire in a master phase reverse and series/parallel switch too for the full Jimmy Page effect

    That's real nice , mate . And Cherry Red is one of the sexiest guitar finishes of all time , on any guitar .
    But enlighten me , how have they coil-tapped P90s ? I thought they were single coil PUP's . You sure it's not some other form of electronic trickery ?

    You can coil tap a single coil, just can't coil split

    All "coil tap" means is that there is a take off part way through the wind as well as covering the whole wind. Coil split is splitting a pair of humbuckers in half. Gives slightly reduced output and a little more bite. Don't really use it so much on the bridge pickup, sounds a bit nasty but adds a nice hard edge to the neck pickup outside of lead work.

    Also makes for a nice solo switch for the extra output on top of the gain switch for my amp
