So my friend makes guitar, and he just bought some Throbaks SLE101's. He is not terribly prone to superlatives- well- at least not ones I seem to disagree with anyway. Our friendship started by comparing gear- I had a 1963 Deluxe Brown, and he had a 62 and we wanted to see, blah, blah blah. I also had a HM Deluxe '14, and he had built a very nice LP from a good kit and we wanted to see.
OK- back to our story- so he's got these PUP's- and having spent time with a few bursts, my favorite HB pair was a Gil Yaron set in a GY LP. Percussive- swirly middle position- the neck was a bigger bridge tone- not a muddy, boomy thing. Really something. When plugged in my friend and I simultaneously looked at each other, really in shock. They were that cool.
So now he has these Throbaks- and they are better than the Yarons.
I haven't had anything to obsess about in a while. Ok- there's that.
Man... we need a gear library.
