Amid all this talk of 290's and City Limits, is anybody here still permanently welded to his/her Gibson?

Here's mine: a ’60 ES-330TD. C'mon, break out those photos!

Good gracious, who is that masked Duolian man Cool

That is a very cool Trini indeed. What were Ted Greene's mods? A Varitone plus some kind of phase changing plus coil taps?

Indeed! The Bigsby, Varitone, phase switches (the 2 sliders) and coil splitters (small black knobs with brass brads indicating each coil and "both on"). Also, switched the original knobs for speed knobs.

It plays like a dream and can get A LOT of sounds.

Plus, the fact that Ted G. had a hand in making it what it is today is a constant source of inspiration.
