Looks nice. I still only have the one guitar that I got in the 80's. I figure if I can't play all that well, I may as well not play all that well on one guitar, hehe. Although it would be nice for variety from time to time.

Lots of bootlegs out of Korea (I bought a cool Gibson acoustic knock-off for $75 green - no one could tell the difference). :warning

Anyway, if it sounds good to you, who cares! :thumbsup

Check out this 50's "fender" guitar I saw on Craigslist:

minte's gas translator! basicly: korean guitar good, double cutaway, mean the top of the body is cut away above, like the bottom, 2 horns, rare for a telecaster, which usually only has a bottom cutaway, p90 pickups are the elecronic part, p90 is ols school tech, lo-fi, and perfect for blues. the set-in neck means the neck of the guitar is glued in deep into the body, that helps create more resonance, sustain, etc., all of these features are rare for a fender guitar of any model, not to mention only 700 made total, there was a demand for them but they *upgraded* to a jimmy eats world signaturre model and changed manufacturing to mexico, which is fine, but not as rare as korean made fender, and the model is based of a standard tele body.

there is another tc-90 on ebay, asking price is $750, they seem to go for $500-ish, was stoked to get this for a good price.


all from what i've researched

i was wondering about the cream color, noticed your malmsteen is the same, after seeing it in person , i like it a lot!

you might have a pretty good guitar man, some 1980s guitars that i've seen checking out guitars look real nice!

They call that antique white. it's the same as the strat. Does the hollow body feedback at all?

Ah, let me clarify. I got the guitar in the 80's from a singer who got it from a pawn shop. It's a 1974 Ibanez les paul copy. One of the infamous "lawsuit" models. It's very nice and mostly original. Rear pickup is a vintage dimarzio, the tuning pegs aren't original and the knobs are replacements. Otherwise original.

checking this out now, which one(s) caught your eye?

A bunch of them caught my eye, but I only got one this time. An LP Custom shop R9
It's nice..real nice. warm tones, amazing action and sustain like you hope for.

those are fucking fantastic guitars! i read up on them prior to scoring this tc-90, the ibanez is actually the only true lawsuit guitar too right? all the others pitched that way are lawsuit-era, from what i understand, but apparently they all blow away the american production quality of that time.

Yes, washed cherry sunburst. I didn't see any R9's in a gold top. I have an R7 GT already so I wasn't looking real hard.

Originally Posted by Tom_PM (Post 19779060)

Yes I think so and it can be a bit hard to identify them too. The truss rod cover and shape of neck where it bolts to the body are good clues to know you have a real one. All I know is it's fun to play.

The switch is really old and worn obviously and sometimes it'll pop out of position back to the center. Most of the gold plate is worn down. I used to have to original witch hat knobs and not sure wtf I did with them. It's antique white btw, cream colored now. The frets are so low you can barely feel them, but every note rings clear. I find it damn near impossible to play anything else as a result. I'll probably die with that thing, heh.

right on! hahah, guitars. have you played a godin? kingpin in particular?

Originally Posted by Minte (Post 19779087)

No I haven't but it looks a lot like another that caught my eye at Daves. An ES 335, which is next on my hitlist.

yup. i would have figured you had or have had one of those? which one is the one to get at th at level?

Last time I've owned a 335 was over 20 years ago. It was in my collection when I moved from electric to classical. It's one of those I regret selling. One of the things I notice is that the contrasts between 335 is a lot greater than les pauls and SG's. In the last year I have played a number of them and they were dogs. The weather changes we have here effect hollow body guitars a lot more than solids. This time of year when it's quite humid they sound dead. Dave did have a couple that I liked and I will go back up there in the fall and look again.

The block neck is what I will get. This is probably the one

but that natural finish most closely resembles a goldtop super fancy finish, which i think looks fantastic on a 335 body, in fact, i've been trying to make a epi riviera p93 work, but the pickups on it are not good enough p-90 for my software to register some notes, in particular a-minor aint happening on cheap p90s, so back it went. maybe down the road i can find a cheapy and swap out the pups for some wolftone p90s

but check out this goldtop riviera p93, ain't it cool!

The downside of buying Gibson custom shop, is it's always risky to take them to a gig.
I have a 67 SG that I bought back when I was playing regularly in bands and it is so beat up that I keep it just for the memories. It would be painful to have that happen to a custom shop guitar.
