Beautiful LP! Think it's a 50s Standard (due to the tuning machines) with the stock BB2 in the bridge and someone swapped in the Rhy61 from either a 60s LP or an SG.

I think the 1996T fits anything the Floyd fits (original or special). I have a 7-string with a Floyd Special and it's been a fine trem. IIRC the Special's fine tuners are actually smoother feeling than a lot of 1000s I've had and there are no tuning issues. The 1996T is a great trem too. I...

That's cool as fuck

I love this shape. Great design.

Not as much fun as a new amp, but maybe a specific cab for that more cold/metallic tone from the amps you already have? I had one of those Engl XXL cabs (oversized, front loaded) and it was insanely aggressive. Made an unboosted 1959 sound rather metal.

I think these days, Gibson USA might be using Jescar 47095 or the equivalent (like Sanko 214; I'm sure there are others).

That's awesome. Congrats!

To me at least, an LPC refretted with true jumbo frets is the perfect guitar. But I don't like the smaller frets they use currently, so I'd opt for the Warrior unless I were going to refret a brand new guitar (which I've done haha).

Watch it be like the Gibson Historic Reissues. Milking all the variations.

He also said clean to mid gain. Most of the amps people are recommending are high gain Marshall things...

I stopped reading when I saw something about The Blockchain. I think Wampler already has an amp marketed as designed to be a pedal platform.

Until recently the Maverick used narrower 55090 frets. Within the last year or so they switched to what essentially seems like 57110. I believe the Horus uses 57110 for a while now. Anderson's can essentially to ordered with whatever except 58118 (which is what the OP wants).

I think you'll be fine. My NightSwan was refretted with 57110s and it's no issue. I have an LP with 58118s and it's fine. It's missing two frets but doesn't seem like it'd be an issue to me.

I'd probably just return it and buy another. Old cabs are a crap shoot. There's no telling what's happened to those speakers. A healthy cab with 75s shouldn't sound boxy or thin. I prefer a V30 or G12M, but I can work with the 75s for sure and be happy.

I had a DC-30 that I'd sometimes run into a 4x12. That amp turned up to about 11:00 was loud AF but filled the room with this crazy, swirling tone almost like a chorus or some effect was on (there was not). It was really amazing and majestic sounding. Not clean but not overdriven. It wasn't...
