Do you play the $10 Walmart special or an original played by Paul Mccartney?? We want to see em and hear the stories behind them!

 

 

This was my first guitar that I bought at a second hand store. It's very light and I like the way it feels. I use it mainly for Drop D and lower tunings. It's an Epihphone Special SG.

I am 35 years old. As such when I was in high school every guitar player and lead singer that you dreamed of being played one of these. I had to have one! I understand that over the years they are pretty much all the same but that wasn't going to do it for me. I had to have an era correct one. I hunted and hunted and finally came across this heavily used, but plays perfect '99 MIM Fender Stratocaster. 

 

Found it on Craigslist and had the guy email me the serial number. As soon as I had it confirmed by Fender for year and such, I headed out to get it. 2 hours. I am thrilled to own it though! Totally worth the drive.

My Custom Guitars I build them.....

 

Nice, Candyflipper.  Euclid, eh?  I'm in Mayfield.

Sweet man! Awesome to see you on here. Stay in touch.

Ibanez RG2EX2 (E Stnd, Drop D with some Eb's; all RS14 currently no Amp yet) Has been a great first guitar got used from a buddy, in great shape. He put the V7/V8 pickups in it from stock, so far I am happy being inexperienced.

Nice instrument.  HNGD!

Kasnitch, those are beautiful ESP's. I used to own an early 90's ESP M-2 Custom in Lemon yellow, best guitar I have put my hands on to date; I expect the newer ESP's are only an improvement. bought it used for 300 in '05, traded it for an 87' Ricky 4001. Still a massive regret letting it get away, Rick's come up for sale often but that guitar was something special!

 

 

that said, Here's what i'm currently playing (Bass porn heavy!):

 

What I do most of my recording on,

 

MIJ Fender Aerodyne Precision Classic, P/J tone, Super thin/light P body, Jazz neck profile, one of my favorite workhorses!

And the two that don't see the outside world very often, I think both were around 400 models made:

 

The Boat Anchor! Gibson Silverburst Explorer Bass:

 

I picked this up because it is identical to Skwisgaar skwigelf's 6-string "Thunderhose" explorer, in bass form. :)

Hipshotted Gibson SG Supreme Fireburst Bass (07' Guitar of the Week promo):

 

The newest addition, went looking for something that would make it easier to move around, came up with this one.

I love them all but I've really taken to the short scale SG lately, The finish really comes to life in low light situations and it feels like I work less to do more. :)

 

I'll have the Squier VM Jazz Bass, thanks (although the P-Bass does look fantastic)

Gorgeous Ty for sharing!

That sure is one tasty red/black Fender bass :)

Just bought this fine thing not too long ago.

Nah, it's a 2006 Standard, which I suppose is just a Traditional nowadays. I almost bought a R8/'58 actually. But it was going to be $2000 more than this one. A bit much for my first guitar, but I knew I wanted a Gibson from the beginning. I think I would've ended up with a Tele if LPs didn't exist.

here are my main basses;

 

from left to right, Steinberger Synapse, Epiphone Thunderbird Pro IV, Line 6 Variax 700, 2003 Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray, Fender Classic Series 70's bass. I have a few more since this pic was taken..

 

Here's the rest (from left to right):

Schecter Custom 4, Ibanez Soundgear SR300, Warwick Corvette $$, G&L Tribute JB-2, Yamaha BB424X, 1984 Rickenbacker 4003.

Very nice collection!

I generally play Ibanez , and my main is a Satch model axe but since it dont handle low tunings well my wife got me this as a early Birthday present.

 

This beast handles eveything i can throw at it tuning wise and just pure awesome to play.

2003 American fender standard, found it on gumtree and turned out he was 10 minutes away so I couldn't resist for £500.

Shiny.

Pretty Strat!  I found one just like that for US $600; I'm so tempted to buy it, but I can hear the conversation at home...

 

"Look honey, I got another Strat!"

 

"Look honey, you got divorce papers, too!"
