Eid 2025

Eid greetings to all Muslim blog readers, friends & acquaintances. Another sombre episode this year but I'm becoming more desensitized to such circumstances. It's all about setting priorities for your celebrations. Nothing grand at my end especially when I'm a little under the weather & overwhelmed by this cracking headache for almost the entire day. My holiday in a nutshell. 

23

Another cheap & cheerful, not to mention worth my time & effort, resurrection episode. This is a Peavey Extreme 23, my kind of guitar but that body outline could have been more appealing.

P-Jumbo

Don't check the Ibanez acoustic lineup too often, missed this. It's a jumbo in the Performer range. FYI, the Performer Series of acoustics are Ibanez's most affordable. On that note, this PJ50E does not sport a solid top, even the soundhole rosette is a water transfer type.

SL-2

New from the Jackson camp - another American Series Soloist but this time, it's an SL-2.

Difference? It's a through-body construction.

Double trouble

Digging deep into the annals of history, Gibson decided to revisit that sunburst model with uncovered pickups. The thing about these pickups, they are double cream. DiMarzio has registered this colour combo as their design proprietary. Oh, this LP is called the Double Trouble.

Powers

Powers Guitars. Boutique stuff. This A Type PF42 will set you back $5,999 & it's available at Swee Lee. At this price point, a Gibson or PRS makes more sense in terms of after-market value.
