The only SG TV I have ever seen in real life, photographed with the able assistance of @michaelsegui at @dlott65 & @chriswstringer8's Union Sound '23 event last summer.

Kinda a dream setup. Those Boogie Tweed amps sound incredible, and over recent months I’ve come to love that Gibson sound so much.

HELLO I AM A GUITAR NERD AND ALSO A JRWI NERD HERES WHAT KIND OF ELECTRIC GUITAR I THINK ALBATRIO WOULD PLAY AND WHY
Ok so for chip I knew it was going to be red. Obviously. Like his whole design is red. And I have been so obsessed with red Gibson les Pauls at the moment and I just thought it fit him so well so I went looking for one with gold accents
And I found this absolutely beautiful red and gold gibson les paul and god do I want my hands on that. This is such a chip guitar oh my god just the vibes are so him I don’t even know how to explain it. The red, black, and gold is so much like his swords as well
Now for Jay for a while I thinking an orange stratocaster would suit her and eventually I started looking at blue telecasters and I was very set in that for a while. I was originally leaning toward the telecaster because to me they just look very rigid and uniformed with the straight lines and I was thinking this kinda fit with the whole ex navy thing. However, since she obviously isn’t part of the navy anymore I found myself wanting something different but I wasn’t quite sure.
Now I’ve never played a Yamaha or been very interested in them at all, but I saw a couple Yamaha sg-800s in Johnny Marr’s book and I just knew it fit Jay. Everything about it is perfect. The blue and the gold accents to match her eyes. The shape. If you can’t imagine Jay Ferin playing this guitar you are lying to me.
Last but not least: Gillion. Choosing a guitar for Gillion was something I had a very hard time with. There was so many possibilities for colour and type and for a while I was quite stuck. I thought about teal and blue and even white before I eventually landed on yellow, thinking it matched the gold accents on his new design.
I’ve always been intrigued by jaguars and jazzmasters for their odd shape and I’ve always wanted to play one to see how it would feel. One day it just clicked for me that this yellow jazzmaster was the guitar for Gillion. The funky shape just feels so him. I was very torn on wether to pick a Jaguar or a jazzmaster as they look so similar, but I decided on a jazzmaster because of their whole thing with low notes and that just felt very Gillion to me.
THANK YOU FOR COMING TO MY TED TALK

Imagine if instead of Kurt Cobain and his Nirvana with their Heart Shaped Boxes we got Theresa Fowler and her Exhiller with their Tulips 😭
P. S.
The rainbow guitar strap being black on the inner side is a very nice detail I think 👌very symbolic...
