MythSte Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Just one of those thoughts that popped into my head today, I saw a USA off white strat with a maple neck and thought to myself... man, if i was a guitarist!! I really like traditional Fender guitars, yet i really cant get on with traditional basses, i mean, i play a bongo! So if you where (or are, though i wouldnt admit to it myself!) a guitarist what stick would you have and is it to a similar vein as any basses you own or would like to own? Answers on a postcard!

ednaplate Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Blonde 52 reissue telecaster. Gorgeous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdphysio Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Yep, another telecaster fan......i love 'em. (also like fender basses though). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahpook Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 i've got a mid-80's squire tele, but i hanker after a fender jag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono Bolton Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I have a Squier Tele Deluxe with a Strat neck on it, that's pretty nice. I'm in the process of re-building my strat too, need a few more bits and bobs and I can start soldering. Would love a Jazzmaster, maybe a white or sunburst standard Tele with a maple neck. On the Gibson side of things, an SG in brown or cherry would be schweeeeeeet! I've been listening to Fugazi - Repeater a lot recently and there's a picture of Guy Piciotto playing a Las Paul Junior, wouldn't mind one of them either.

OutToPlayJazz Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I'm only a hobbyist guitarist, but I have a lovely Epiphone Les Paul '56 GoldTop with creamy sounding P90's. Relation to my basses? Perhaps just a polar opposite to my modern sounding basses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I have a custom HSS strat that I got for a cheap price considering it has a 2 piece SOLID quilted maple body. I'm in the process of slowly upgrading it, just sticking EMG's in it transformed the guitar. If anyone is interested in a loaded scratch plate with Seymore Duncans in it, feel free to drop me a PM. [attachment=6971:610f_1.JPG] [i](in original condition)[/i] Upgrades will be (in order) 1) refret and natural refinish the ESP supplied maple neck (or get a replacement neck if its cheaper) 2) Wilkinson VS100CV convertible tremolo 3) Body refin to purple sunset tint (a bit like on the Steve Morse sig guitar) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I've got a pair of Jackson PS performers... one of them is a bit of a rebuild after my dad went schizo and smashed it to bits, that was originally a PS2 Concept, and the other is a PS4 performer. the former is a dull metallic red (was originally glossy black... man i miss that axe the way it was...) and the latter is trans red over flame maple. both have EMGs in the bridge position... lush =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexclaber Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I seem to be happiest, and write many a song, on nylon strung classical ones, though I don't own my own one. Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ped Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 One of these please!! Predictable probably, but after playing my friend Chris' guitar (bloke who owns the studio where we had the NW Bash) I can't imagine anything being as comfortable.
