I like mint green or white on the Sonic Blue JM. Those gold pick guards horrid, but they certainly show a style of their own.

Someone made this image of different color pickguards with sonic blue, the only difference being on the CVJM the pickups and knobs are cream:

Although mine is sunburst...

I'm hoping that is something to reduce the bridge buzz, but it does look way too much like a lipstick pickup. As for my bridge, a Mastery would be nice but is pricey, so I was going to go with: http://www.warmoth.com/Modified-Mustang-Bridge-Chrome-P616C716.aspx which will suit my needs and is much more in budget.

Now I'm wasting time doing this instead of putting laundry in. I haven't seen one, but I feel like a dark brown pickguard with sonic blue would look awesome. Then again those are my school's colors and I was just looking at a sweatshirt. e: Also anyone know where Warmoth ships from? I want to play my JM more but until my bridge comes so I can get 9's on it and stop the buzzing it's a little annoying to play.

I like both the pickguard and pokerchip on my LP and gently caress you! Admittedly, it's a black custom with the cream-colored inlays, so the black pickguard and chip work nicely.

All I have right now is a rather old picture of a rat's nest, and of course the straps is covering the poker chip: I would get a better one, but I have those really dumb rainbow-colored strings on it because of Rocksmith (which makes the pickguard and chip the least of the problems).

I threw GFS crunchy pats in it and I love it. e: I swear my Galaxy S4 always has blurry photos or I suck at snapping photos of my guitars because they are always just out of focus.

Went looking for a super cheap practice amp for my niece since playing electric guitars acoustically is kind of lack luster. This old Peavey had zero output thanks to 99% clogged pots. The lady just gave it to me for free since it was acting up and I wasn't in the mood to diagnose a little crap amp. Sprayed the poo poo out of the pots and got it working almost perfectly. Once and while it still hits a dead spot and just needs the pot turned back and forth a bit and it will go back on its merry way.  Nothing special, but it's all a 10year old girl needs to make twangy noises in my sister's basement. Plus giving loud toys to your siblings kids is ultimate torture.

I got a Randall RG13 preamp. It's very cool. Here is a picture. If you like the classic Randall high gain sound, and the Warhead-era Randall high gain sound, totally delivers. Shared EQ might be a bummer for some, since it does have a surprisingly nice clean sound with a DI and everything (though the cabinet emulation is non-defeatable, so no IR fuckery for more recording-experienced types, sorry); far as I'm concerned, though, it's just epiphenomenal to the two gain channels with the more classic and more blasting high gain channels. It would have been cool for them to use a balanced TRS output, for what it's worth, or to make the cab emulation switchable; it sounds good, but more in a "I want a nice high gain tone and can't be arsed, plug this XLR into the board would you please sound person" kinda way. Good analog cab sims are basically straightforward EQ curves to cut off the frequencies a cab can't make and emphasize the ones it can, even at their most sophisticated, realistically they still suck when compared to solid digital cab sim methods like IRs (and we've had IRs for ages now). I mean, not that you should be getting a shitload of hum off its output anyway, or at least any more than you'd expect from a high-gain device. It isn't noisy, plenty of room inside for the layout to minimize that. It has a nifty little ~2W FET power amp, minimum 8ohm load, and it will drive a cab perfectly well. Which should come as no surprise to anyone who reads the specs of their speakers. Efficiency of 100dB+ at 1W, that's gonna be plenty loud for just dicking around with. Kinda neat as a grab-and-go rig, has an effects loop, a boost... Well thought out features, my only gripe is the aforementioned lack of ability to defeat the cab sim on the XLR output but that's kind of a minor gripe. Other people might gripe about the shared EQ, though where you'd put the potentiometers and circuitry to control it is less straightforward than just going "heeeey this shared EQ thing isn't as cool as on a big rear end amp where you get individual EQs!  "Do like did buy will keep happy face made.

Had a little Guitar Center store credit, so I used it to get a cheap distortion pedal: It's pretty good for $50. Definitely better than a Boss DS-1. It goes from a cranked tweed sound to a JCM800.
