+Buddy Ollie LP for more meaty/full tone; SG for more cutting tone. They say the LP screams while the SG barks. Epi LPs with probuckers for the win. The pricier Epi LP Tribute with Gibson Classic 57s is a good bargain too. I'd go for the Gibson LP 50s tribute 2016. A used (or NOS) one is almost par price-wise, but a big leap in quality.
+Buddy Ollie to me, either goldtop or honeyburst/lemonburst/iced tea on a LP is very cool. If looks are important, then the Epiphone Les Paul Plus Top Pro offers lots of colors. You're bound to love at least one of them. Last I checked the Epi SG offer doesn't go far beyond cherry, ebony, white and a walnut-ish brown finish.
These are amazing. I played one at a shop today, bought one online almost immediately after (got a much better deal). The necks on these are fat and incredible. I liked this a lot more than the 1964 Memphis reissues they did.
freddie's early 60's recordings on the federal label were just plain sen-sa-shun-al. his phrasing on all those instrumentals were enough to take you back home to san-ho-zay.
@@trudaroof Im a big Peter Green fan. His 59 Les Paul "Greenie" had a flipped neck humbucker which allowed for an out of phase tone when both pickups were selected. So you could get a strat sound when you were in the middle position. Gary Moore bought the guitar and used it for years. Kirk Hammet now owns it!
@@norcalhozay That’s really wild, I just watched a video with BB King playing at Sing singi prison And he had the pick up turned like that too. I would have never noticed that if you hadn’t said that
@@trudaroof Yeah its a tone thing. Jimmy Page did the same thing but didnt want to flip his pickup. He added a push/pull switch on one of his volume knobs to get the same effect.
The 345 is my fave semi-hollow. Always loved the Vari-tone. This one sounds the bomb.
A Freddie King model was long overdue. Good move.
I dig Freddie King! that thing is awesome
Buddy Ollie you still up for some electric saxamphone?

Stephen Beatty I just picked up one myself..hope the neck is as far as my R8s

The MHS PU is superb.
Name od the song playing at the begining?
You're really talented at this :D
How’s you deal with the stereo only setup
What are MHS pickups? Are these period correct?
I see the bridge pick up is flipped.
How the hell did you notice that? I wonder what that does?
