Yooper Posted March 4, 2018 Posted March 4, 2018 Here's my 30th anniversary gift from my wife: This is where they are going.
skydog52 Posted March 4, 2018 Posted March 4, 2018 You’re a very lucky man on all counts! Congratulations twice.
cobo Posted March 4, 2018 Posted March 4, 2018 Congratulations on 30 years! I put Throbaks in my H140 and it is easily the best-sounding Les Paul-style guitar I’ve ever heard. That is, when someone else is playing it, I mean ... [emoji57] Colm
davesultra Posted March 4, 2018 Posted March 4, 2018 Great gift! I had a set of ER Customs in an H-170. IMO that set has the best sounding neck pickup around. Of course the bridge is no slouch either.
rockabilly69 Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 You better write her a song with your new throbak equipped guitar!

Yooper Posted March 7, 2018 Author Posted March 7, 2018 Thanks to all. I may have been a bit lucky in life, but even the best and longest marriages take some work at times. She is indeed the good one, to have put up with me all these years. Daniel, A song for her is a great suggestion. Working title is "My Sugar Mama". Hmm. Maybe something more romantic would be a good idea. But those pickups! Man! After I learned Jon has them in his 535, I decided to take the leap of faith. They have met all expectations. I still love Seths, and have them in another semi-hollow, but these offer a similar vibe, although with more mids, mellower highs, and a full, clean bass. This makes the 535 a nice versatile classic rock/blues machine, AND a decent imitation of a jazz box. Just what I wanted. My perfect 535 has now arrived. It sounds as sweet as she looks. "As Sweet As She Looks". How's that for a song instead of "My Sugar Mama"?

Hey didn't you trade your eagle (the one I wanted to trade for my ES330) for an ES335? Or did you send that one down the line?

Hated to part with it, but when it comes down to it, having a guitar that I actually play more is what matters. I never quite bonded with flat-wounds on a longer scale. LOVED the sound, though. Now I LOVE the sound of the 535 with ER Customs.
