I could just find my groove on an Am pentatonic and just play with this setting all night. I’ve never had an experience with a pedal like this before. It’s amazing.

I was at my local used gear shop the other day and, as usual, I browsed the guitars hanging on the walls. And, as usual, nearly no lefties. Except a couple cheapies and a nearly unused gold top R4. I didn’t have any interest or desire for a new guitar or LP but I figured I should at least play it. It was great aside from the old strings.

I thought it over for a couple of days, looked at used prices and decided I’d go back. Well, long story short, I’m now the proud owner of a pristine custom shop R4.

I lit some new strings on and oiled the fretboard. It plays great. I’ve never played anything with P90s so it’s a palette I’m not used to. But I’m going to get used to it.

It’s pretty light for an LP - 8.6 lbs - and the neck isn’t super chunky. It’s not thin but completely playable. For some reason, I find bending much easier than on some of my other guitars.

Here it is. A 2024 R4 complete with case and paperwork.

I’ve been playing for a few years and I’ve got a wide variety of musical interests. The 335 and p bass have flats. The latest acquisition is the Strat. An American vintage ii 57 I picked up from southpaw guitars in Houston when I was down that way last month. The amp is a prototype of the new Dusky electronics proxima a.

It took me forever to figure out my pedal board setup since I wanted a hybrid. The QC is my standard delay and reverb plus some extra overdrive when I need it. It’s all controlled via presets on the G3. The pedals that do midi are also controlled via the G3.

I use the frfr for my bass and my daughter uses it for her vocals when she’s playing. She has a specific preset that just switches to all her stuff since she can’t be bothered to mess with pedals. I don’t want her messing with my stuff anyway!

If I had to pick, my favorite is the SG. It’s so comfortable to play and does what I want. I’m still getting used to the Strat. The 335 was what really kicked off my musical interest and took my playing to another level, though.

My only regret is that I wish they had more play wear. They all get played a lot but the finishes just don’t show it! The SG has some nice checking and I suspect the Strat will get that way, too. The others have a poly finish so they will probably stay pretty pristine.

Another pedal purge. Most have boxes. If you want to be sure, just ask and I’ll dig through my box of boxes. All are in excellent condition with the exception of the golden and tonal recall.
