Only ONE humbucker? They should have done better than that for Chris.

And I LOVE Gibson Guitars.

At least they have the trapezoid inlays, which is better than dots.

And I hope it goes up to 11.

Wrap tail with one Humbucker is a pure rock and roll machine.

I guess. But I play several styles on mine. :-)

Two humbuckers, Four knobs, and a three-way switch gives me a little more flexibility! :-)

I agree. I love the sound of a neck pickup. Also nice to use the middle position and volume knobs to balance the tone. ‘50s wiring allows the volume knobs to clean up the sound a little quicker. I can go from clean to crunch rotating the control from 8 to 10. If you haven’t tried it it is a simple and worthwhile mod.

Bought a Kris Kyle T-shirt .... wear it proudly.

Oooo...sounds like fun!

My bass has double bucks with the same knob and switch configuration, but has an extra knob i haven’t figured out yet.

One humbucker seems appropriate for a sniper-themed guitar, I was going to initially suggest a lone single coil would be even better, but if a shooter feels anything employing the tool of his trade, it’s the recoil, ergo humbucker.

I had to defend myself with my Schechter two octave bass once.

I swung it at four youts, who fled on foot.

If that thing connected it would have left quite a mark.

Oh man, this will drive the guitar forum lefties absolutely insane. They already hate Gibson...and I mean like white-hot hatred. This will make their heads spin 360 degrees with pea soup and the whole bit.

I bet both of you have tube amps.

[Viking2002]

I never was fond of ivory tuning pegs. I've had them crack on me.

[bk1000]

“I bet both of you have tube amps.”

A few, actually. Nothing but!

Three by Nolatone, and recently a Tone King. Also have an old Hammond A100 organ chassis I have been fooling with. Kind of 18 watt Marshall-ish. Loves me some tube amps!

Can’t stand humbucking pups! I play a ‘57 Strat through a ‘56 Pro Amp. Sounds way better! And my shoulder doesn’t give out after three sets! Nice thinking on Gibson’s part though.

[Jet Jaguar]

Just a ping.

[Slings and Arrows]

WANT!

My junior has a single p90.

But I’m more enamored of the twang from my single coiled tele.

I LOVE Teleeze!
