Guitar is a 15 year old Standard. It's a workhorse of a guitar that's had a pickup and electronics swap to vintage spec and a refret somewhere along the line.
Two humbuckers. I just took the cover off the bridge pickup for more of a 60s Clapton / Mike Bloomfield era look. The "theory" back then was if you uncovered your bridge pickup it'd make it hotter.
I've always been drawn to very light bursts or Amber like I have. Lots of 58/59/60 bursts fade to almost this because of the natural dyes used in the Red back in the day were light sensitive, so over the years they washed out.
So, there's my geekery for the day.

that amp had to be expensive. it's wild how the jump in prices you see when you move to the next level.
the modeling 25 watt one i bought is going to be good for me for a while cause then next step up is like $300 for a used one.
and what do you have have there? This novice sees a humbucker and p-90s? Just spitballing here as i really don't know what i'm talking about about.
lastly, your guitar is pretty much exactly what i want. though i'd prefer one of the sunburst tops. but that one would do nicely.
