Very nice!
I just sold my original ‘54 Les Paul. One more vintage piece to go!

Yeowza ! Thanks for sharing - nice way to start my day .. . I own 3 stratocasters, my favorite being a 2004 American standard strat I had personally signed by Joe Satriani .. . This whole situation of being locked up at home due to the chicom virus has been very instrumental in providing me with the time to rock out with my two drum sets, 2 basses and 5 guitars !!! America has better prepared musicians because of this tragedy .. . remember .. . when one door closes, look for another way out .. .HAPPY NEW YEAR and may God bless .. .

I’m enjoying my first morning of 2022 playing my ‘55 ES 125 through a bassman 50 amp.
Don’t know how to post a photo. I am a Luddite.

“ Originally came with only one tone knob and the input jack was where the bottom knob is.... in the pick guard. “

Interesting. While I have some guitars that have bidirectional audio and data connections, not one has an input jack! 😉

Nice-lookin’ axe, though…

Very nice axe!

I play this one in church every Sunday.
Ibanez Montage. Built in reverb, chorus and distortion. It's a Jack of all trades, master of none. Very versatile and fun.

Other than that I own too many to list =p

Dan Smith era Strat. Glad you like it. I have a pre Dan Smith Blackout Strat hardtail with the big head stock that is an ‘82 from Fullerton with the 3 bolt neck. Love to play it. Did a gig two nights ago using a modified china telecaster that weighs more than any Les Paul I ever played. But it sure sounds nice. Have any awesome New Year.

Looks similar to a Jimmy Vaughn Strat to me.

I own a 1970 blonde Strat, a 1957 reissue that I bought brand new in 1987, and a Hello Kitty Squier.

Working on assembling a Mary Kay FrankenStrat.

Ha!I was just at Horn Trader last month. Found a couple of cymbals that Zildjian hasn’t made in years.

Guitar Ping.

I have a Les Paul Studio.

It was a robot, but I stripped the guts out of it and made it into a real guitar, LOL. (The battery would not recharge)
Dark Green with Ebony Fretboard.

I’ve been thinning down all my stuff. Just sold my MiM Nashville Tele and Les Paul DC Faded w/P-90’s and SF Twin Reverb. Keeping my SG, SF Champ and old Guild D-25. I don’t play in bands anymore so an electric and acoustic is all I need.

Oh, got a Uke too. That’s been fun to learn.

Rock on Patriots!!

One of the most unique guitars I have is an Ernie Ball St. Vincent. Looks just like the top picture:

Always gets comments, the neck is fantastic. Not a huge fan of the DiMarzio pickups, but I’m able to dial in a good tone with my very flexible Kemper amp.

I like the guitar more than the performer, though she does clean up well!

Not a “real” guitarist, really. But I own a few. I’m a drummer by trade, and I’ve scaled down to about five kits, two of which I gig with. PDP, and Strike Pro eKit.

My recent acquisition is a Variax. It is a double hum bucker, but has all the models of other guitars built in. Strats, Tele’s, Gibsons, Rickenbackers, acoustic guitars, 12 strings, banjo, sitar, resonators, etc. My son has used it a LOT on his instrumental rock album “Bird Mafia” , which is available on Apple Music!!

Dang. 19 and he’s already out there.

Anyway, I live in Telecaster land. EVERYONE has a Tele, and are having Tele’s custom made, and packing around two or three. Our guitarist always has two onstage, and one Paul Reed Smith. 90% of the gigs are on the Tele. Every other band around here they all have Telecasters.

Great to see a Strat once in a while. My old Ibanez Strat is in the middle of being refinished by said 19 year old son, so is in disassembly and I can’t play it. It has the BEST neck I’ve every had my hands on.

Very nice guitar. I worked with some great players over the years who used Strats. Bill Wright took the whammy bar off and just pushed on the rocker, got incredible psychedelic whoo-whoo sounds doing that.

Kenny Perkins won the W. C. Handy National Songwriting contest a couple of times. He pays a 57 Strat through a Princeton and a little old 50’s Silvertone, guitarists drool over his tone, so full and rich.

Chris “Citrus” Sauthoff toured with George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic for 11 years as stage manager and some lead guitar, kills it on his Strat. He endorses DR strings and always plays their rainbow-colored strings. Those Strats become part of those guys. I asked him once how things went on the road for 11 years (I did shorter stints and burned out) and he said, “Well, 4 guys died and I had a stroke and couldn’t play for 4 years.” He mainly teaches at a Music Academy now, I’ve played bass on some of his shows there.

Don’t ever let that Strat get away.
