    Personally I love the EX 's but SG are cool too.
    Rich I might have to hit you up for some advise when I get round to painting my boat 😀

    Welcome Rich, a Jnr, either SG or LP with P90 is something I would like to build one day.....just have to obtain royal assent first as I have used up all my forgiveness tokens for the time being.

    Whilst an EX looks a bit 'out there' and in your face they are surprisingly comfortable and easy to play. Saw a YT video on Garry Moore a few weeks back and never knew he played one. He specifically mentioned how good they were for playing the blues on middle switch position with both pickups. Heck, even Keith Urban plays one live so it is not just Metallica, etc who use them as seems to be the stereotype.

    Hi Richy17. I told Mrs DarkMark I’ve brought a second kit as she was falling asleep. I think it went down ok.

    Oh don’t get me wrong, I definitely like them it’s just the wife won’t fall for “I painted my old one” trick

    We need to start a thread with things we’ve told other wives in order to feed our gas.

    Darkmark : I should try that next time. But to be perfectly honest she said don’t buy any more guitars, technically I’m buying a few bits of wood and electronics.

    Once the blast radius has stabilised you'll have to let us know how that one works...

    Hmmm, that’s tricky. I’m convinced by your technical argument but I’m not sure Mrs Richy17 is going to be so easily persuaded. I was considering starting a thread to petition Mrs DarkMark with compelling reasons why I needed a second kit.
