Post your collections, your music, and just enjoy being a conservative musician!

I'm also curious about how many of us have regular gigs, be it church, bar, VFW Hall, whatever.

Here's my modest collection. I don't have good pics of my actual guitars out on a photobucket account yet, so these generic pics will have to do:

2005 Gibson Custom Shop Slash Signature Les Paul:

2008 Squier Classic Vibe Telecaster:

1991 Peavey Vandenberg Custom Quilt:

[Mr. Mojo]

I’m a Telecaster man. ...played through a blackface Deluxe Reverb.

[RandallFlagg]

I had an old Ibanez Destroyer that I took with me around the world in the Navy.

Nothing like playing Metallica’s The Shortest Straw on the bow of an amphibious assault carrier while docked in some middle east country.

Morticia (My guitar) finally developed a crack right down the middle about seven years ago.

Going to get an explorer someday.

[doodad]

I have a few and play as a living room legend.

[dayglored]

Oh, shoot, I can't post guitar pics at the moment (I'm at work) but I'll catch back up tonight...

Currently have a custom-built black-walnut/Modulus-Graphite rock axe, Gibson SG (c. 1962) for the blues, and a variety of others for special purposes.

Main amp is a an early-70's silver-face Fender Twin Reverb:

I got a question. We have a neighbor kid who's apparently learning to play. He's not bad just not good. Lacks rhythm and his timing is off. He practices using an amp that's seems to be at full volume - you can even hear the distortion at times.

My question is this: Have any of you guitar players ever subjected your neighbors to amateurish playing via an amp? Don't most people learning to play get good before they decide to crank up the amp?

Note: The family is a big Obama supporter. They have an Obama sign in a bedroom window that can only be seen from my yard!

In the summer and nice weather I have my C. Crane radio out in the yard with Limbaugh and Beck on. I don't play it loud and consider myself respectful of not trying to make them listen to it. This Summer things might change.

[Skooz]

Clapton signature Strat. Amazing. Just awesome.

Les Paul, Alvarez classical and a Norman acoustic.

I still suck.

[Vasilli22]

I'm a "four-string" man. Can I play too?? 64' Fender Jazz - except no substitute!

[GodBlessRonaldReagan]

I have a Paisley Tele reissue (just like James Burton played when he was backing up the King!



My main axe - a Epiphone Firebird. I play in a surf/garage band, and I pump this thru a 1962 Fender Princeton amp for the sweetest sounds this side of heaven! My band has only played twice (to great response and some nice paychecks!), but we've finally recorded a demo and are getting ready to assault the Mid-Atlantic area with pure rock and roll.

Martin, acustic drednaught ... Wouldn’t it be great if we could start having some “folk songs” about all this mess with the government ... so we could be playing them at tea parties, etc. Look at how strong this kind of music was back in the sixties (in the other direction) ... so maybe we could get the attention of the younger crowd going in a different direction.

I’ve always been an acoustic guitar player. I still have an play my 1982 Alvarez Yari that I bought new. Sorry no pic. This guitar has been through many parties, camping trips, beaches, you name it, over the years. It’s starting to look like Willie Nelson’s guitar. It’s very well broken in and the tone I get from it is beautiful.

I’ve recently discovered Cubase and also a much easier program Mixcraft to write some multitrack instrumentals.
Throw in a korg keyboard workstation, download some vsti’s and you have multi instruments to use. Currently using Edirol.

[The Toll]

You guys sound like you need some low end.

I play 2008 Rickenbacker 4003 in Jetglo.

Read it and weep.

[Drew68]

A couple family photos:

Now I just need something with P90s. I have an old Korean Samick (actually pretty nice) with a set neck and mini hums that I'm thinking of making into a project P90 rocker.

[Scythian]

This is what I play on stage, that way when fans get out of control I can just mow em' down ...

[4yearlurker]

I started playing around 1974. My first guitar was Lafayette or something like that. Then I graduated to a Tesco. Pliers were required for tuning that beast. The electronics were descent. In 1975 I bought a 1965 white Srat. I had to have on cause Jimi had one!

[Jolla]

Now have four acoustics, an Ovation I play a lot, also have a classical with no name and a 12 string Mexican guitar that must be 100 years old. I picked it up at a flea market, nice sound, very loud, best for playing in group singalongs, but most I really like the look, it has a lot of inlaid mother of pearl. Also have a 12 string Yamaha and an electric Gibson, low-end model I bought 30 years ago, don't play it too much. Also finally I have a violin from Hoffner in Germany, also a little old but a nice sound, I do not play it but have a friend that says it sounds very nice when he comes over to play along, he always grabs it first.

[blue-duncan]

Look at this.

[Grammy]

We have 2 Taylors and Gibson classical.

I've always like the Martin Acoustical guitar, but like so many thing these days, their quality seems to have drifted a bit.....

Lately I have been looking at nylons, I love the "jazzy" chords that just don't sound the same on steel acoustics

Also have been thinking of, some day, getting that Gibson Es-335 clone....

..but that is another story.

Let's talk about Freeper drummers next, OK?
