the ibanez is in d standard, the v is in e standard. the purple one has emg het set pickups and the explorer has emg 81/60, both tuned to e flat.

jcm900 4100 dual reverb, the one some people like to crap on. it really nails a lot of 80s and 90s tones though, so i love it!

thanks! yeah, i saw the finish and knew i had to have it. the neck isn’t super thin, but isn’t chunky either. it’s got a glossy finish, which may or may not be your thing. i’m not super picky with necks though, unless it feels like a baseball bat…those are the only ones i really have an issue with.

the matte finish on my ltd m1000 is probably my favorite, along with the profile as well.

i started out with a samick sg copy that i sold to pay for the explorer when i was in college. then i quickly picked up the ibanez because i wanted something cheap to have around in case i thought i had too much to drink but still wanted to play guitar. oh the college days…

and yes, gotta love ltd guitars! great guitars at a great price. i got an ec-256 as well that’s like the purple one’s stunt double…still gets the job done though!

ed sheeran - shape of you. absolutely awful song. dumb lyrics, dumb beat, completely uninspired, trite garbage. fucking hate that song.

i saw https://squabbles.io/ on a thread earlier today, and that looks pretty promising as well.
