New instruments! Lots of fun! Which is your favorite?

My great grandfather (said to be something of a political dissident) had a Mandolin that was passed on to me but was not in a shape where I could repair it so it's pretty cool to find myself one, the swan really called out to me. I just need to figure out how to use it best!

I used to hate SGs. Then I found this guitar for stupid cheap and couldn't say no:

It's a mid-70s SG copy from Aria. On a different day it could have been branded as a Greco or an Ibanez, all of which came out of factories in Matsumoku, Japan. These factories were beating the American ones at their own game at the time, producing copies that put the Gibsons and Fenders of the day to shame.

The only thing I don't like about this guitar is the pickups, which if you know about guitars and can see that they look like DiMarzio Super Distortions might make you say "the problem isn't the pickups, it's you, learn to play and get some taste." But here's the thing, I will never learn how to play and they're not actually Super Distortions. They're DiMarzios, but they're like, Squier DiMarzios. They look cool and have a good bit of output to them, but they sound like a wet fart. Close to no treble/mids, lots of bottom end, they don't project without a treble booster or overdrive with the EQ knob pinned at 10. Closest equivalent I can think of would be to take current Epiphone stock humbuckers but wind them a little bit hotter. Not great.

Last night I happened to check Reverb before going to bed and came across a used set of Lace Sensor Dragonaut pickups, the signature Matt Pike ones. Just like what happened with the guitar they were so cheap I couldn't pass them up, so this thing is gonna be turned into even more of a rock/doom machine soon. Before they arrive though I had to get some photos of it with the cream-coloured DiMarzios still in there - they might sound like crap, but they look really cool in this guitar.

Do you ever find yourself a little depressed on a Monday morning?*

When I have a particularly bad case of the Monday blues, I like to pull out the prettiest guitar in the house (1960 #Gretsch 6120, on loan from @tomgibson3783), lean it up against a mint and rare 1966 Traynor YGA-1B Signature amp, and bask in its warm, glowing warming glow!

I am told that this guitar was built in late '59 for the 1960 model year, and you can tell it's a 1960 model because it is highly figured top and back (Swipe through to see some details, including the incredible back). Pre-1960 the tops and backs were plainer.

Thanks Tom for the loan of this beautiful instrument that cheers me up on a Monday morning, AND for driving way up to the middle of nowhere to purchase this amp for me! And thanks to @marshalllespaulfan for getting this rare beauty back into working order and cleaned up after 50 years in storage!

*Rhetorical question. 😉
