I told my wife that I wasn't buying any more guitars and she laughed and laughed...

I had the ‘59 in the neck of a PRS Santana II. I haven’t tried the other ones, but I generally like Seymour Duncan’s. I really want to try a set of Throbak Dick Dale pickups. Oh, and this is a Starfish guitar stand.

Yes, thank you. I have no idea who Dick Dale even is.

Reported!

and he's a lefty, although plays with inverted strings.

Nice wall of Pauls, sir!

Thank you. It’s been a process. I’ve let many Les Pauls go, some I should have kept. But I’m very happy with what ended up with.

My wife will likely never believe me again, two in a little over a month. This Non-reverse Thunderbird had to come home with me today. It’s a 2022 with a few minor issues. GC had it marked down & gave me another $100 off. The first thing I did when I got it home was bump the headstock on my ceiling fan. I usually don’t put the first nick in them so soon. The fact that it wasn’t pristine helped me deal with what I had done……….

Stumbled across the perfect meme for this thread. It's 100% true too!

Like our wives ever had any negativity towards buying gear! You and I are blessed, Leon.

Congrats on the sweet bass. Boy, you don't see a Wiggy every day. That's a cool amp.

 

[GreenBurst]

Yeah, gettin' jiggy with a Wiggy. How cool is that!

I think I have it pretty good as well.......married almost 51 years and never heard a single negative comment over the years about buying a piece of gear.

The Wiggy was on local Craigslist for quite awhile. It eventually grew on me & I dragged it home.

I think Dweezil used to use the Wiggy.

My understanding was that Frank Zappa was in the process of designing it with Peavey before he passed away. The head was modeled after the dash of his car, (Corvette?) Dweezil picked up the torch & finished it.

P.S. Looks like it was all Dweezil............
