I think his interesting guitars are more interesting than Jack White’s interesting guitars.

Yeah, aside from the Burst I saw in their last rig roundown his guitars are usually quirky ones. He also has a white lawsuit era Ibanez SG Custom with three pups and a Univox Les Paul, just like Magic Sam's only he put filtertrones in it

Dean Wareham of Luna used Japanese 70’s LP copies for years.

Seriously, that Black Keys song sucks so much, it sounds like it was purposefully made to be used in a commercial, rock music by committee

Burney guitars are a bit high end... I'm talking 70s plywood bolt on neck jobbies

I had one of those in Hondo II form. Plastic carved top, bolt on neck, plywood body.

Ironically the only guitar I’ve ever owned with humbuckers.

Pretty sure the only guitars I’ve owned with hambackers are the ones I fitted them into.

I guess my Music man basses have bucks. But guitar guitars, yup.

A long, long ago I saw a video on youtube of a teen dude playing an all maple 70s Japanese les paul and making excuses every 10 seconds that it was unfortunately a cheap knock off, that he felt embarrassed and hoped to buy a proper guitar sometimes in the future. I thought it looked stunning. An all maple les paul, with a maple fretboard and black blocks, are you kidding me? His also looked much paler than this one

I don't think I could do without at least one humperdinker guitar. A lowish output PAF style is probably my favourite pickup.

It's a lovely picture of Englebert, inventor of the humperdinker.

Does any of your guitars even sustain for days then?
