Any Guitarists on TP?

[Slyelessar]

New Guitar Day! 1993 Gibson SG Standard. It has an Amber 59 pickup in the bridge I might have changed for an SH5. I will like put some covers on the pups too, since I prefer that look on an SG.

 

[Raymond Lin]

You keep guitars in cases :O

Partly to keep them physically safe and partly to protect them from the rise and fall in humidity in the house (I have an Hygrometer) and mostly because I don’t play them enough. I know if they are out in the open I’ll play them more...but I would need more space.

You going to put that through a JCM800? Please say yes.

Nope, but perhaps the superior VH100R

Not in the same league as Mr Lin's (little) collection but this is mine



I do like the neck through construction on these so I thought I'd add a photo to show it off

What does the 52 Tele look like now? It can't look like that after 70 years!

 

[Deleted member 34016]

Its the re-issued 52 Tele - its now around 8 years in my possession bought from Andertons for around £1,500 an original 52 would be very expensive

I see.

p.s. I forgot I had a tele actually. Palir Titan.

 

[Deleted member 34016]

oh that is nice Raymond

I forgot I also have this Vintage Les Paul Junior with a lovely P90 Pup

 

[Raymond Lin]

I have no more guitars in the back that i forgot

 

[Deleted member 34016]

Its in my back room in a case- I don't use it a lot for gigs etc much prefer the telecasters

No no other reason other than "Just because and Life is short", I want to part ex the PRS 305 with a Strat at some point. That is the only other guitar that i like to own.

 

[Foxbat Flyer]

I'm trying hard to be a guitarist and have been for a few years. I have no discernible talent but I'm too stubborn to give up. Currently getting to grips with barre chords and struggling to make anything musical. I think lessons will be required in the autumn.

My collection consists of:
Epiphone LP Custom, black
PRS Custom 24 SE, Trampas Green
Faith Saturn acoustic

All southpaw versions.

Am I the only one to feel slightly unnerved by this picture? I can see some unplanned relic work taking place as the lovely SG slips slightly and makes its own way down the stairs.

Gibson and headstock break practically a rite of passage.

Gibson and headstock break practically a rite of passage.

It also makes them cheaper to buy once the headstock has been off and professionally repaired.

That's why mine sleeps in its case

 

[Foxbat Flyer]

I have mine on a wall bracket or a stand - I'm very wary of making sure not to kick the stand over, I want to avoid that rite of passage!

I can be quite clumsy, everything are out of the way, just in case, cameras in pelican cases. Even pedals are in a case.

 

[Deleted member 34016]

All of my guitars have a hard case. Except the acoustic one ( not pictured ) it's an Epiphone master built

Same, except the Taylor GS Mini. Of all of them I actually like the old Gibson ones the best. PRS cases are like for guns or something and very heavy.

Yep...living legend and national treasure John Otway.

I drop kicked the neck joint just after this was taken.

A lovely collection of guitars.

 

[Slyelessar]

We have a lot of Southpaws in this thread. Surprised there has not been any hand racism thrown at us. #timeshavechanged

Apart from a lack of choice when visiting guitar shops (understandable), I've never felt my southpaw tendencies to be a problem - but it is so frustrating to walk into a shop and see row upon row of lovely shiny guitars and seeing just one dusty lefty in a corner.

Before the recent Jag/jazz master resurgence, Fender told me they could not help unless I found a used one somewhere. So I had a custom one built. Now they are everywhere haha

I would post a photo of my guitar, but I`d have to clean it!!!

Because it is covered in avatars?

This was a fave once, sadly flogged to finance a Gibson V (that was a piece of junk).
