Speaking of Reverb, any recommendations on what to get from this, Gus?

All of Billie's stuff is excellent. But the Victoria and either one of the two red LP Jr's standout as both great collectables and remarkable instruments. The red Jr's are slightly faded but their necks are long, lean and fast. Both are fairly light as well. That Victoria amp is amazing.

Wow they were priced at $8000 each! I feel like you can find nice clean examples for $4500 if you look hard...
And the Victoria’s were also priced pretty darn high.

V number 2.... still not a real Gibson...

Playing any Albert King @origenesprit ?

I'm thinking about selling a couple of vintage guitars and was considering putting them on Reverb. Does anyone here have any first-hand experience as a seller on Reverb? How did it go? Was it efficient or a PITA?

It’s pretty perfect for Albert King, but I don’t plan on restringing upside down!

I’ve sold a bunch of guitars on Reverb, and it’s been pretty painless. You may get some low ball offers (it’s really a buyer’s market on Reverb) but it’s very easy to put things up and track how many views and watchers you have, and answer questions people have. Definitely easier than eBay. What are you selling?

Just sent you pics by DM. Let me know if you are interested in either guitar.

I saw Albert King perform in the late 70's in SF in a small club when he was still healthy and killin' it. He smoked a multicolored pipe while he wailed on his (non Gibson) Flying V and sang. Great show.

So I've decided I'm going to drop some Seymour Duncan Hot Rails into my beloved Tele. I plan to get them to wired up to split coils so I can still get something of the single coil sound.

Have you considered keeping the bridge standard and just replacing the neck PU?

For sure thinking about that as the clean from the bridge is just so nice. Think I'll be happy doing high gain metal/rock with just the neck changed out? Think of everything from Cinnamon Girl to Five Finger Death Punch.

If your goal is high gain/metal then yeah, go for a full set switch of more powerful PU's. But, won't you miss that sweet authentic Tele tone? I would just buy another Tele and hot rod it. The difference is like a delicate Filet and Texas BBQ. I like both and one isn't the other

I'm going to keep the stock pups so I can always move back but leaning towards just doing both. My listening is 95% really chill stuff but anything I play is usually pretty heavy. I am being strong in keeping things at one guitar and one bass, but since what I really want to play is harder, I figure I'll just play it on my Tele.

Wait, did you say "keeping things to one guitar"????
