I love the clean look of mini's on any guitar. What are the sonic advantages, or differences, brought forth by minihums? Any? Also, I am visualizing a build I want to do that includes mini's, and a LPS. Can anybody help me with one of those guitar generator thingys? Michael

I drooled over this one for a week or two. All I know and understand about an electric guitar is what I read (lurking) here, and a new love affair that began when I took delivery on a 2007 '59 RI MM, six months ago. No lessons yet, just learning chords, and doing HOURS of string-bending...

I love the Green Firebird deal. Good for you for staying true with the mini's. What kind of music you gonna be playin' with that 'bird?

P-90 Tone? This solo is played and originally recorded with a P-90 bridge position Firebird. Did you know that? <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/CkTQUtx818w&hl=en"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/CkTQUtx818w&hl=en"...

I've had my Gibson just 6 months and just noticed the rosewood fret board was getting very dry. Also, I live in the Arizona desert, where everything gets crispy really fast. What is the best material I can use to treat my fretboard, how to properly apply, and best maintain (in this barren...

Gibson '59 Reissue Melody Maker-6 months ago. I love this thing!

I spent all afternoon alone yesterday with my single pu melody maker. It's starting to feel natural in my hands. It's amazing how much it vibrates through that mahogany. Tuning it is getting really easy, too. Sounds wonderful unplugged. For the first time i can feel this thing stating get under...

After spending three decades doing field research, many consider me to be an expert in the arena of addiction. Any good addict knows that we first must have a "gateway" addiction that would ultimately lead us to our "addiction of choice". That pretty much explains where I am at. Yes, as I stand...

I've always been curious as to what was the need for this special pick-up for the Firebird, and how they lent themselves to it's tone? Did it have anything to do with the Firebird's neck-thru body design. Allen Collins replaced the bridge mini with a P-90 on all of his FB's. I notice that...

Thanks alot to all for the encouragement and sage advice. I now look at my single-coil in the MM as the RIGHT PU, as decided by Gibson, and thats good enough for me. I have actually been committed to spending alot of time just learning chords. I've got five down pretty cold, but my fingers...
