Love that PM100 Lobomov, and like the collection - nice strat and tele present and correct, and the P90 SG is also classic stuff. I wonder if you ever contemplate some sort of solid or semi-acoustic with humbuckers? Not that you necessarily should, I'm just curious!
EDIT - just read that you sold a Les Paul recently, so much for me paying attention - I guess not re the humbuckers guitar in that case.

My small contribution.

I like that here on the Jazzguitar Forum that the guitar collections are smaller than on Thegearpage Forums. It's a bit more about playing the guitar vs just collecting them. Not by much though,LOL!

I do play all 12 in the photo of my collection fairly regularly - it might be a bit of an excessive number I admit, but also I find being able to switch to a different guitar can help with the old inspiration sometimes. Lovely looking 335 in the pic above I must say.

I've never had a warmer pickup than the az48. It's superb.

hope that helps

Thanks again,

Perhaps it was an option or a plan that never saw the light of day. The AZ48 neck mount bracket was approx 6-8 mm wider than the neck/indent width so I put a little " crook " in the upper and lower bracket mount arms to narrow the bracket arm width to fit. I also filled down a little bit on the upper edges of the mounting bracket arms to get a comfortable clearance between the bottom of the pickup and the top of the guitar so it was truly floating even if I leaned on it
Hope that helps

Thanks for all of your help.

Your welcome
- I think it is a fabulous combo . If you go that route let me know how it plays out for you.

A couple of things are clear about this post...
Most of us need larger walls, and or more git stands, some like me need a better flash, and wider angle lenses :-)
I'm eclectic in buying. I play my archtops more but can't keep from passing up a good deal on a semi. Here's my 335 clone blonde wall. I call it "Blondes without boobs", or is that "the boob's blondes"
How bad is this?
