Now that the topic has moved to amps:
I've had a "spare" JBL D123 12-inch speaker sitting around for over 20-years. I'd often read from Harvey Gerst (father of the "F" series JBLs for Fender) about what a wonderful guitar speaker it was so I picked up a Fender Deluxe 112 locally from Craig's List for a C-note and one day when my daughter's boyfriend (an accomplished classical bass player, guitar player, and recording artist) was visiting, I installed the JBL in the Fender. After a few minutes of playing his guitar through it, the transplant was confirmed as an excellent result! Cheap thrills! Later, I found, purchased, and had my daughter pick up in NJ another perfect old D123 for them to use in their own gear. Maybe we'll hear it on their next album. |

Can't be as basic as mine, I don't even dare to call it a 'rig', just an axe+amp.

Keep playing, practicing, jamming - nice gear is nice to have but the returns are strongly diminishing and a good player will rip the same on a Squire or a Suhr

We covered a little bit of amps, so how about strings?
I like to experiment but always seem to gravitate back to DR Pure Blues and GHS Nickel Rockers 10's or 11's.

While we’re at it, the other MASSIVE change I made this passed year was switching from the regular Jazz III shape to the Jazz III XL and Flows. Massive improvement given my current stage of playing where my hands are just lazier than they used to be. Only ~30 but my picking hand cramps easier now and just isn’t as articulate as it used to be.

Me too for D'addario, always solid and the standard, 9 gauge.

I play mainly prog now and am pretty low gain favoring split coil tones but I do I keep one guitar in Drop C all the time for when I'm feeling like playing thru some KSE or Periphery.

I took those photos when I first got that guitar delivered - you can see the stickers still on the pickups. I was looking for a purple RG550 for a while. The tags are off and the trem bar is attached! For the money, Ibanez has by far become my favorite. |

Config is known as HSH (humbucker, single, humbucker) - other configs involving humbuckers and singles (not including P90s) would be HH, SSH, or SSS.

Ya, always thought HSH is pretty cool, that's the most stacked pickup arrangement, right? |

It's actually called a vibrato bar though, right? Or we can just say whammy bar. Anyway, always thought that the HSH is the most wicked setup. |
