Hmmm...

That's it! Perfect!
... I am joking :|
I have just ordered some of those weird adaptors to put a set of Tele pickups in my PRS Tremonti SE though in fairness so I may not be trustworthy.

Almost...

Jeez, that is close!

Those string angles...

Yeah I think single hockey stick is good but now that the mirth of double hockey stick has subsided it's a bloody horrible idea!

Haha, I find the more years I've had to cope with being shite, the less the disappointment. :)
With you on the SG. Cherry Junior, belter. -

Good grief! There are some horrific images on this page!

I apologise and offer this lovely trio of Creston Telecasters to make up for the indiscretion.

Oof. I was gazing longingly at Crestons yesterday evening, you’re not helping!
I would do some quite nefarious things to be able to own this beauty:

So, after years of struggling to play with a thumb pick, I finally figured it out!
I’ve tried so many type and sizes that I’ve been given and recommended but all of them just never felt right. Even when I found a super comfy one that fit my tiny thumb I just couldn’t get it to work.
So yesterday I thought I’d try again. This time I cut down and shaped the pick tip right down so it only just over hangs my thumb and amazingly within 10mins I was playing as if I wasn’t wearing one.
This is probably really obvious to everyone but anytime I was given one by a player they were so much longer? Anyway I’m super chuffed with myself.

Well done! I haven't got a clue how to use one, but being a plectrum nerd as well as a guitar nerd I do have a "famous person plectrum" collection (don't we all?) and the only thumb pick I have is from Bert Jansch when I saw him at the Jazz Cafe about 20 years ago. I won't be cutting that down any time soon. :)

Swap you for my Crispian Mills plectrum. You may need to throw something else in though to sweeten the deal...

My only famous person plectrum is one I got from Chris Squire (which is actually pretty excellent).... I've no idea where I've put it though? I suspect it may be inside the sleeve of my copy of Tales from Topographic Oceans...

Bona fide #plectrumpron right there.
Only ever had a couple of “famous” plectrums and they belonged to Aaron Turner of Isis and I’m pretty sure one from Joe King of the Queers. Bert Jansch might edge it..!

I had a Billy Corgan somewhere, haven’t seen it for well over a decade.
Jim Dunlop nylon if you were interested.

I have a whole drawer of plectrums. No famous ones 😢

I was thrilled to discover that he used the same plectrums (plectra?) as me. I now can’t remember if it was the .73 that I use 90% of the time these days or the .88.
Equipboard says he uses Tortex so now I don’t know WHAT to think.

What a conundrum 😂
I'm a dyed in the wool 1.0mm Nylon man myself!

It came from a recording session around ‘99/‘00 I think. Wasn’t there but 100% trust who I got it from so maybe he was experimenting, or using nylon for riffs/strumming rather than soloing.
That sounds superb!
I've just gotten a hilarious idea in my head for a double hockey stick headstock to accommodate 12-strings and I can't stop chuckling over how silly it would look...
Obviously the scale of the headstock is wrong as I ran out of paper space but I actually reckon it would look quite cool in a totally bonkers way!
