BigRedX Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 In my previous band I was the guitarist... Here are my three favourites: Gus G1 Vibrato (well you wouldn't have expected anything else would you?) FretKing Esprit V Custom Andreas Black Shark I'm hoping that one more of these will be getting a matching bass partner soon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctor_of_the_bass Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Allo! I've got the following: Gibson 335 1964 original model in cherry red, block inlays - absolute peach. Gretsch Country Gent 1967 twin cutaway model - ala Harrison (brown with painted on F holes!) Ibanez RGX 350 - locking trem widdler job PRS SE - teal green LAG Roxane Aria PE Elite (LP copy) Vintage LP (new model but aged) Schecter PT Tele (diamond series) Gould LP copy Rex (by Hofner) jazz hollowbody Yamaha FG-310 acoustic but I'd really love a decent Strat, Tele and a real Gibson LP, and perhaps an SG. And a PRS like Fosk's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutToPlayJazz Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 While we're on this subject, I'll be putting my Ibanez AS83 Archtop (335-type large-bodied guitar in violin sunburst with P90 clones) up for sale on the "others" for sale section as soon as I get around to it. Complete with hard case, it's absolutely mint & I'll be looking for about £300 if any of you budding guitarists are interested. If so, drop me a pm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Funnily enough there's a fair bit of skinny-stringed JapCrap knocking around my gaff: Westbury Standard Hohner/Moridaira Washburn Wing knock-off Unidentifiable very old SG copy Ibanez Artist 2601 acoustic Matsumoku set-neck LP copy Home-made headless guitar - formerly a Columbus SG There's some Korea Diarrhoea too: Aria Pro PE Series - 2x P90s, Bigsby & glitter Hohner electro-acoustic And a Hohner Revelation "Eurofighter" SuperStrat. :ph34r: And there have been many, many, many others...

paul, the Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I think telecasters are pretty much the only cool solid-body electric guitar. Everything else has acquired some sort of cheese factor throughout the embarrassing history. Before that comes guitars in order of getting towards being totally acoustic. You get the idea.

stoo Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I'm a fairly recent convert to bass, so have collected a few guitars over the years... mostly an unremarkable collection of acoustics - 6 string, 12 string, classical, and a really nasty semi-acoustic thing. I've got a Les Paul Studio which I've set about with wood files to round off the top edge a bit so it doesn't dig into my arm as much. Wish I'd made a prettier job of it, but it plays and sounds great... maybe one day I'll get it tidied up and refinished, but I've grown to like it as it is now. Also got a Tele type thing made by a local luthier (not for me tho). It had a beautiful walnut top with gorgeous inlays which I ruined in a fit of youthful drunken idiocy... I thought it'd look a bit more "metal" if I hacked chunks out of it with a khukuri and nailed beer bottle tops to it. Ended up lending it to a mate to learn on as I was so ashamed of what I did to it that I couldn't bear to look at it. It's still got an awesome flame maple neck with a birdseye fingerboard which may get a new lease of life on another body one day.... And I'm just trying to resurrect my old strat too - also made by the same luthier that did the Tele (again not for me originally). The neck on this thing is another cracker - flame front and back, with a darker wood binding around the fretboard and headstock. Going to replace the kahler copy trem with a genuine one, after I broke it while trying to adjust the spring tension. Then all the dodgy home-made pups and active electrics are gonna get replaced, although still haven't decided what to put in there instead yet. Makes a bit of a contrast to me bog stock OLP MM22 & MM32 tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgraham Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Ped, or anyone else for that matter, there's a music store in York that has a fretless Vigier in. Costs 1649 I think it was? Also available on the interest free payments. I have played a fretted Vigier, it was a beautifully put together guitar, had a tone I liked too. I was tempted by the fretless but if I'm honest, even with the fretless fingerboard, it was nothing special (IMO). Certainly not worth [i]that [/i]amount of cash.

Golchen Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 If I had a guitar, Hmmmmnnnnn .............................. Hold on!

john_the_bass Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 [quote name='David Nimrod' post='164843' date='Mar 27 2008, 09:51 PM']I have a PRS SE Soapbar... great sound and mine for under £200 with a Hiscox case I play it thru a Peavey Delta Blues all valve combo... 1 x 15" speaker - sounds magic.[/quote] nice! I had one of those PRS SE Soapbars - one of the single cut ones, paid about that price too! I have an LP Standard, CIJ tele custom 72 RI, epi 335, gordon-smith GS-1 doublecut (like an LP junior), MIJ Squier strat and a couple of acoustics. What I really want is an SG, a proper 335, an HH Jaguar and that'd probably do me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo63 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I have two geetars a Brian May Red Special (with fitted case) bought in 2001 and an Epiphone SG (Angus Young type twin p/u) in cherry red. Used to have a Yamaha Pacifica Tele, which I swapped for a bass, kind of regret that as the Tele was a really nice guitar and very easy to play. As an observation from reading this thread, there seems to be quite a few people here who like/own Teles cheers Fraser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tempo Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I've got a couple left (plus a nylon string), but been through loads, Les Pauls, Strats, Eggles, US BC Rich, Parker Fly & several Ibanez. Play bass more now, so paired it down to this (Ibanez Artcore Custom) And this, (Ibanez sz320) Which I have customized with Bareknuckle pups and some sandpaper! Played through a Zoom G7 & a Laney valve amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon1964 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I play a bit of guitar, but don't seem to suffer from GAS in the same way as I do for basses! My two guitars are a sunburst/maple 50s Telecaster re-issue and a mapleglo Rickenbacker 330. Both lovely guitars, which are way to good for my playing! What would be nice would be a mapleglo Ric 4003 to match...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
