My current set-up.

Soldano SLO-100 with matching 2x12 cab, both in "Clapton Gray." Tone Tubby HBOMB speaker config (one Alnico and one Ceramic).

Todd Krause Masterbuilt Clapton Strat in Mercedes Blue and pedalboard.

Very Nice setup, when people say guitar rig this is what i imagine..

I have heard so much about Lollars, and all good stuff.

For superstrats, I used the Duncan JB for lead position on one.

One vintage Telecaster got a pair of Duncan 1/4 pounders. But I always wanted to try DiMarzio.

I have thought about downgrading the "fat", full-throttle humbucker-ness of one guitar and putting in classic P-90s that are direct retrofits. Duncan makes those. A little more humble, some more high end treble and dual setting quack would be nice.

I don't play anything high gain either, and the Lollars are just wonderful. They cretainly lived up to the hype.

There is no way I would have anything else than Lindy Fralin's in that vintage Tele. Here's a link to the Tele pickups he builds. Duncans are good pickups, they really are. But Lindy's pickups are something special. Both of my Strats have them. My main guitar has the Blues Specials, and the other has Real 54's. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Nice gear. I'm digging that Masterbuilt. I'm trying to talk the guys at Wildwood in ordering me a Vintage Thin Skin Relic in lefty.

Thanks man.

Any masterbuilt or custom shop ordering I would definitely look at The Music Gallery in IL. Talk to Frank, he deals a lot of CS and has VERY good prices, believe me I looked around.

Haha..thanks a lot man.

This rig is a development of about 10 years in the making. Starting with a regular Clapton Fender Strat, graduating to a Masterbuilt. The SLO as well, first had a Hot Rod, and the pedalboard, well that thing was completely revamped recently, I actually did the re-built myself.

My 1999 MiM Strat. :D

Edit: That thing that looks like a scratch on the body of the left pic (to the left of the bridge) is really just a reflection.

How heavy is that thing? It's off the freaking hook with versatility as it looks to have all stringed instruments that can possibly be used for rock/country/folk. Nice axes.

it's not mine of course. but it is totally awesome. crazy!!!

from left to right:

1999 Les Paul Special with humbuckers
2004 Les Paul Studio Vintage Mahogany
1996 Epiphone Les Paul Standard

Nothing too special about them, except they play well.

I am waiting for the mate for the Marshall cabinet. Now if my father would save up enough cash to send the doggone thing to me, I would be golden. Other than that, I use the Fender MusicMan that is underneath the Marshall head

What the heck..

Been scrolling thru all the picture posts, figured I might as well post in this thread also.
I don't have anything major like alot of you, just a simple bass that I play around with. My son gets more use out of it lately than I do.

My two main ladies, '57 & '58 reissues and the backups...

*dribbles all down his front* very nice indeed!
I only started playing a year and a half ago and so far I'm enjoying it very much! I have a mediocre Fender Squier Stratocaster and soon a Marshall MG50DFX amp... at the moment I have a very very crappy SP·10 Squier Amp
