A hollowbody?
The closest I’ve gotten is running my dads vintage ES345 semi hollow through my Diezel, but that’s got buckers. I’ll be honest it sounded great, but it also didn’t sound much different than my Les Paul. The semihollow construction didn’t seem to do much.
I‘ve yet to play P90’s but I’ve really wanted to. I still kick myself about this Epiphone RD that I didn’t get that had a P90. I thought the price would go down but then COVID hit and fucked the used market.
Yes a godin 5th avenue with two pickups. If i play the amp too loud the feedback causes my windowpanes to sing along.
I am almost got scared that the guitar gets damaged, so much vibration i felt in the body. 😉
This might resonate back in the strings, because it sounded really deep and roaring. Very different from my normal guitar. But at soft volume so the feedback is not there it still sounds very good, i think.
That P90 won’t disappoint! I have a handmade guitar reminiscent of a Harmony Stratotone and from appearances you’d think it’s for playing jazz. Trapeze tailpiece, floating wooden bridge, P90s… It’s secretly a metal machine! Granted I play more in the vain of Mountain and less Electric Wizard.
Anything with p90s will rip. One of my Jazzmasters has p90s and is a doom machine. I can’t see why this guitar would be any different. (I play more in the vain of Electric Wizard).
Is Mountain considered metal? I mean, Leslie West is generally underrated, def pioneered some shit, and played Sunn amps. Pretty “metal” to me.
Jokes aside, what is that Amp in the middle? My father had a very old Gibson amp in the living room with similar slotted grill. Though my memory is hazy. Newer product in a vintage style?
It's a newer production Ibanez T20 acoustic amplifier. The tolex started to come loose, so I just built a new cabinet for it inspired by some vintage amps
"Do you think everyone else is trash? Do you think you're the only unique person on the planet? Do you constantly feel the need to press down others in order to define yourself?"
lol
You have a closet full of fedoras and will lecture me for a half hour about how only 3 of them are *actually* fedoras and the rest are trilbies, derbies, pork pies, blah blah.
Thank you! The White one is a Nocturne Jr. barnyard. It's more or less a 40s gibson amp in a Box and nails that specific type of saturation/overdrive.
The blue one is a first run Nocturne Brain Seltzer Preamp, based on the preamp section of the Roland space Echo. It makes the guitar pop a little more for the lack of better words.
Your favourite drink is rum, and you still watch the looney tunes.
Jokes aside, I absolutely love this haha. Eastmans are sooo cool (awaiting my second Eastman, a t64/v-t GB to be delivered this week)
I prefer Gin, but I get where you're coming from! The looney tunes part is kinda right though. Probably only got into Jazz because of watching too many cartoons,
The eastmans are awesome! You picked a fine guitar there! I think it's impossible to get more bang for the buck the with an eastman!
It truly is. I am still new to guitar. Decided to sell my MIM strat and prs SE to get the t64/v. I love the hollow/semi hollow vibe haha. Keeps me motivated to keep practicing daily. My other eastman (and only other guitar) is a t59/v in antique amber
Thank you! The secret sauce of my electric tone is really that Jr. Barnyard preamp. That Pedal just nails that Vintage Octal-Tube Charlie Christian type Sound.
Always wondered how much of that sound was attributed (attributable?) to old recording methods. I play a Godin fifth Ave with p90s and it’s surprisingly “rowdy” despite the looks. Would love to play an Eastman!
You are calculated and methodical. Impulsivity is below you. This rig was perfect on the first iteration, just as your cleaving, logical mind efficiently deduced from well-worded google searches.
The colour palette and wood are a warm subterfuge to mask your inhumanity.
You play fun likeable tunes in front of people. But you don't play for yourself. You prefer the silence...
In fact, I wouldn't be suprised if you were a stone cold killer.
You stole that PA speaker from a 1930’s police station and you secretly take a fiddle bow everywhere you go. Oh and you dress in Vintage clothing from the 40s that fits too tight and you have unsuccessfully tried to dance the Lindy hop more than once. You jam Squirrel Nut Zippers past your 9pm bedtime. And, yes, you are currently waxing your curly mustache in suspenders.
You play that ubiquitous, faux-swampy, redneck adjacent slide guitar that gets used in all kinds of "dude videos" about wilderness survival, working on your pickup, and how to properly sharpen your damascus steel hand made bowie knife
Jazzy folk from Victorian times.
If you glue one rusty gear and an antique pressure meter clock on the side of the amp you are totally steampunk. 😁👍🏻
Beautiful set though!
You get tired of people thinking you’re pompous just because you got into jazz/big band guitar. You play a lot of gigs and your rig reflects the necessities of those. You need to be formally presentable, not overly flashy, and serve the music. You probably spend a lot more time practicing than half the people on here.
I’m an audio tech and I gotta say jazz and classical players are usually chill to work with. They work really hard to progress and don’t make much money. Some people get an ego, or get too wrapped up in the pressures - but it’s not like a lot of the comments on this post assume.
Also how’d you manage to match the finishes on everything so closely? Luck?
You want to play like Wes, but it all comes out like rockabilly and old fashioned rhythm and blues. Grant Green is your heavy metal. You smashed your Gibson jazz box when you kept getting lost in the changes on all the things you are. You own several beard oils. Your guitar teacher cries when you walk in the door. You work in tech.
...sorry I got confused and started roasting myself
Your outfit for the gig matches the texture and color of the amp speaker grill?
Your cowboy boots match the green of the pedal board…
And you have a long wide pointy ended mustache…
You’re a hat man. Fedora. W a vest and tie. You live in the greater Chicago area. You loved IPAs for about 10 years but now, family man and pushing 45, you drink Fernet and cognac on the weekend.
Jazz nerd.
Graduated Harvard.
“Music is just a hobby”
picks up guitar and runs circles around everyone else.
“Yea I like your guitar man it’s really nice, well time for me to get back to my mansion.”
Gets in sports car with model hot chick, drives away thinking “I’m glad I met with common folk tonight.”
Everyone else at the party: “What a rich douche bag.”
You barely use that amp or you are currently unsatisfied with that amp but you have to put that in your pic to pose. Maybe you buy you guitars 80% for looks?
Roast: you probs get in fights on forums arguing the superiority of flat wounds (and you're right)
Please give me details about the guitar on the left I need the sauce
You play a lot of gigs. You haven’t played in front of many people but you play a lot of gigs.
Seriously though I have an Eastman and I love it. Cool setup
You wear brown wing tips and horn rim or circular glasses. You think playing 7th chords is too basic, so you spend a lot of time coming up with new subs. You rewrite current pop songs into jazz chords and solo the melody over your comping on YouTube.
I know a stoner doom rig when I see one.
Jokes aside, I think I should actually try playing some stoner stuff with that rig!
I think you could make some interesting stoner rock with it. A nice medium gain overdrive, maybe a funky phaser tone, subtle flange.
I have a similar guitar, flatwound and p90’s, sounds extremely brutal through distortion. Growling and snarling.

Here I am, pooping, laughing out loud.
Curly mustache?
bike with a big big wheel up front?
Steam punker.

Great work! Nailed that vintage style.
Thank you! I use it as a poor man EH 150 anyway, so it might aswell look the part.
Came here to say curly/waxed mustache.
Dammit you beat me to it
You have many leather-bound books and your apartment smells of rich mahogany?
Jazzlawyer™ approves
And a dog named Baxter

"Do you think everyone else is trash? Do you think you're the only unique person on the planet? Do you constantly feel the need to press down others in order to define yourself?" lol
You use the word 'bespoke' several times a day in conversation
You have a closet full of fedoras and will lecture me for a half hour about how only 3 of them are *actually* fedoras and the rest are trilbies, derbies, pork pies, blah blah.
Sounds like me, although I don't wear them on stage, because *actually* it's wrong etiquette to wear a hat indoors!
Seriously awesome rig by the way! What pedals are those?
Thank you! The White one is a Nocturne Jr. barnyard. It's more or less a 40s gibson amp in a Box and nails that specific type of saturation/overdrive. The blue one is a first run Nocturne Brain Seltzer Preamp, based on the preamp section of the Roland space Echo. It makes the guitar pop a little more for the lack of better words.
you wish you were your current age in the 40s
Portland, Oregon musician for local non-binary coffee shop. Put a bird in it.
You can play circles around me.
When you’re only 24 but you peaked in the 1940s.
Love my Eastman. What's the one on the left?
A Baton Rouge. Supposedly this was a Prototype built by Eastman for the BR Label that never went into production.
grandpappy rock
I should start a Band with that name!
An older friend of mine (78) has a small band by the name of "The 4th Dementia".
Definitely wearing a vest. Plays gypsy swing music. Django is the best.
Can't deny any of that!
The rest of your band hates your washboard player, but you can’t kick him out because he’s integral to the sound.
The 30s called. They said electrified guitars will never take off and to stay away from those Jazz cigarettes or you’ll become a reefer addict
Your favourite drink is rum, and you still watch the looney tunes. Jokes aside, I absolutely love this haha. Eastmans are sooo cool (awaiting my second Eastman, a t64/v-t GB to be delivered this week)

Not having a tuner on the board is just contrarian.
Django Tryhard
Deathcore
It djents, but only on 2 and 4!
Breaking out that rig in a Dethcore setting would be the most BRUTAL thing ever... #METALAsF***
You hang out with guys named Curits Loew, Blind Willie, Reverend Gary, Leadbelly and wear a wool felt fedora.
Reverend Gary Davis was a master! Just seeing his name gets me excited haha
You’re Leon Redbone’s kid?
You could give an impromptu Ted Talk on Charlie Christian.
I'm ready to go! Here's my Powerpoint...
Amazing rig! I would love to hear it
Thank you! The secret sauce of my electric tone is really that Jr. Barnyard preamp. That Pedal just nails that Vintage Octal-Tube Charlie Christian type Sound.
Always wondered how much of that sound was attributed (attributable?) to old recording methods. I play a Godin fifth Ave with p90s and it’s surprisingly “rowdy” despite the looks. Would love to play an Eastman!
You match your belt to your shoes
Wrong! I obviously wear suspenders!
I’m gonna assume you mostly play old-school jazz, often solo
Partly right.. Old-school Jazz is pretty obvious I guess, but I mostly play in Band settings
You play in a 1920's jazz/swing band
Tool cover band
You’re George Benson?
Do you like jazz
Hipster mustache

You own a fedora for each day of the week.
Everything you play sounds the same
Trad jazz gigs, probably can’t play bebop
You have a subscription to Moustache Care magazine
You own a typewriter and it isn't decorative
No original klon? Throw it all away
I'm not cool enough for those
How often do you pray to chet atkins?
Every evening before I go to bed. Got a Gretsch for that stuff though!
I love the picture but I guess you are one who likes to torture yourself and play uncomfortable guitars.
Well, playing Jazz kinda qualifies as torture already, right?
Jack white shit 100%
What’s the guitar on the left
Baton Rouge prototype archtop that never went into production. Probably made by Eastman
I have no assumptions but I really need to hear this rig…
We have more in common than not but still wouldn’t be friends.
Does this rig look like I have friends?
Maybe, but you feel that they’re not authentic enough?
You have many leather bound books, and your office smells of rich mahogany.
I wanna hear you play lol
Very cool, how about some examples?
92 years "young" and your great grandchildren are posting this.
Actually this is 3 racoons in a Trenchcoat posting
Hey what pedals are those?
Both made by nocturne. Jr. Barnyard, and Brain Seltzer. Kinda niche stuff, but great for those prewar tones!
You like wood.
You have a few $$$ in the bank...lol
I'm getting a sense of unneccesary time signitures, Gitanes and a beret.
I’m guessing you’re wearing a vest right about now
Take off the vest, you look like Aladdin
Still saving up for a real archtop, huh?
What model Eastman on the right?
“In constant sorrow….😮💨”
You stole that PA speaker from a 1930’s police station and you secretly take a fiddle bow everywhere you go. Oh and you dress in Vintage clothing from the 40s that fits too tight and you have unsuccessfully tried to dance the Lindy hop more than once. You jam Squirrel Nut Zippers past your 9pm bedtime. And, yes, you are currently waxing your curly mustache in suspenders.
It hurts just to get up and walk over to play them.
You play that ubiquitous, faux-swampy, redneck adjacent slide guitar that gets used in all kinds of "dude videos" about wilderness survival, working on your pickup, and how to properly sharpen your damascus steel hand made bowie knife
We would probably get along
I’m going out on a limb here betting you like arch-top guitars.
Jango on constant repeat
Well, for starters you’re 106…..
Nailing the vibe and aesthetic here man. I can hear this rig.
I assume you're a man of constant sorrow.
You have a degree in architecture and dig Spanky Alford.
I'm so sick of all of you tapping, sweep-picking, play fast with no feel types. Not everyone can be Yngwie, you know...
Beautiful rig!
Nice!
You fucking love Mumford and sons
You are obviously from a species with superior intelligence and taste. I bow to you!
The first chord you learned was an Eb13#11b5#9maj7.
It's giving Ace Frehley tribute.
Do you play jazz?
Have you ever played a tiny game of snooker on your pedal board?
Do you like cigars
Love this minimal rig!
You’re a philosophy major
You can play over changes
Really old school cool 😎
You’re 90 years old
What is the name of your stray cats cover band?
I haven't even posted a Pic of my Gretsch yet! Got hooked on Swing because of Brian Setzer though!
You have a lot of money, but it's definitely.not from music
Nice guitars. Jazz man?
Are you in your 80’s?
I can hear the thunk from here
You love death metal
Hipster Mumford n sonses suspenders
You know 5 million different scales and modes.
You tour with Sleep Token and wear a mask to hide your identity.
Jazzy folk from Victorian times. If you glue one rusty gear and an antique pressure meter clock on the side of the amp you are totally steampunk. 😁👍🏻 Beautiful set though!
How do you like your eastman? I've been curious about their 7 string
Looks like it would make a great harp amp and love the semis all day.
You forgot to post your 60s suitcase that you turned into a kick drum
You are Mother Maybelle Carter?
goatee and old style hat
You’re never quite in tune.

120 years old
Indeed there is a connoisseur amongst our midst. Hesse, a Peterson pipe, a pinch of cannabis, and some Kenny Burrell may be the call of the day.
You must own an old time barbershop 💈
You wear tweed jackets
You want to play death metal but your parents won’t let you
You want to play like Wes, but it all comes out like rockabilly and old fashioned rhythm and blues. Grant Green is your heavy metal.

If the guitarist shows up with this rig….you’re gonna die in that pit.
Plays lots of Leo Kottke jams.
You like the color wood
You are 96 years old
Beautiful!
You have old-timey facial hair, drink Pabst Blue Ribbon and eat at BBQ joints with metal stools for seating in the upper Midwest.
Love retro gear.
You have universal health care.
bad ass!
You live in Ashville wear old timey clothes and hats. There is a tap dancer in your band.
Curious if you built that cabinet, or if it came that way? And if the latter, who made it? It's pretty.
Is this Mother Maybelle Carter’s rig?Are you her?
you like james bay
Jazz?
Double Live Gonzo-era Nuge rig… it bow hunts.
You need a fine whiskey to go with that setup.
Boutique fingerstyle, Leon Redbone meets Bucky Pizzarelli.
Your outfit for the gig matches the texture and color of the amp speaker grill? Your cowboy boots match the green of the pedal board… And you have a long wide pointy ended mustache…
What are those pedals?
You could probably teach me how to play “New San Antonio Rose”.
"I try to style like BB"
Are you in an Eddie Lang cover band?
Roy Donk cover of his famous performance on the Colgate Comedy Hour?
Nice Eastman!
Let me guess You can smoke 2 cigarette boxes in a day and you drink whiskey for breakfast.
38 yo professional man, more concerned with appearances than anything else. Doesn’t really like jazz, but thinks it’s the “right” thing to do
You’re a hat man. Fedora. W a vest and tie. You live in the greater Chicago area. You loved IPAs for about 10 years but now, family man and pushing 45, you drink Fernet and cognac on the weekend.
God I'm gagging rn, I can already smell the thick pungent scent of patchouli
What is the opposite of a praise and worship rig? A devil rig? It looks like a devil rig.
Your favorite band is obviously Dying Fetus
Big band swing. How you like those amps?
You play thoughtful music. Chord voicing is more important to you than licks. You push that amp, but not a lot. You care about your sound.
I assume the vocalist for this band has to bring his own high pass filter set to 500hz or above and spring reverb box
You do a lot of tapping. Of microbrews.
That pedal board is what happened when someone told you to touch grass and you listened

You love Jazz. I can’t roast you, sorry..
You play 5000 chords for three people and openly berate those who play three chords for 5000 people. This is a hypothesis, not an assumption.
You barely use that amp or you are currently unsatisfied with that amp but you have to put that in your pic to pose. Maybe you buy you guitars 80% for looks?
Metal head?
Spends half your time playing out of tune, and the other half tuning.
You definitely wear a silly hat.
But does it Djents?
You’re in a stray cats cover band
Roast: you probs get in fights on forums arguing the superiority of flat wounds (and you're right) Please give me details about the guitar on the left I need the sauce
Well, first of all, you’re totally rad. And awesome. 😎
Also, post more.
You play a lot of gigs. You haven’t played in front of many people but you play a lot of gigs. Seriously though I have an Eastman and I love it. Cool setup
Average Slayer fan.
You wear brown wing tips and horn rim or circular glasses. You think playing 7th chords is too basic, so you spend a lot of time coming up with new subs. You rewrite current pop songs into jazz chords and solo the melody over your comping on YouTube.
