Okay gang, my fiancee has green lighted another guitar purchase, but here's the predicament, I don't know what to get. This will definitely be an S2 or SE as it is going to be a working guitar that will be with me at weekend bar gigs, so I don't want to splurge on another $4k core model. Also, the electronics will be upgraded to Core electronics right from go (volume and tone pots, pickups, and pickup toggle). I want something different from what I've already got in the stable, but that will cover a lot of ground in the way of 80's, 90's, and 00's rock. The current stable of guitars consists of an Ibanez Prestige RG tuned to drop B, a Gibson Explorer tuned to Drop A, a '97 CE 22 Maple Top tuned to C# standard, an S2 Custom 22 Semi-hollow tuned to Drop C/D standard; an 08 Core Custom 22 tuned to Drop C#/Db standard; a Core 35th Anni Custom 24 tuned to Drop C#/Db Standard; and an S2 594 Singlecut tuned to Standard E. The new addition will be either be another E standard or Db Standard dedicated tuning. As for pickups, I'm giving A LOT of thought to a set of Bare Knuckle Mississippi Queen humbucker sized P90's.
