What guitar(s) do you play, /b? Show me. Bonus points for your guitar history (axes, what got you started, best experience performing, etc.) Here's a few of mine. G&L and Fenders.

Can't attach images on this Sup Forums app, but I love Seagull acoustic guitars. Started on a standard Seagull, now I'm rocking an acoustic electric Seagull artist. Check them out. When I go electric I jam an old school fender telecaster, when I play bass I jam on a Schecter Diamond Series

Green startocaster with butterfly stickers

Tele is one guitar I've never played. Love the tone though. I started on a Carlos acoustic from Korea. Wish I still had it.

Also bump for more guitarfags.

Had a Peavey T-60 with a butterfly "tattoo" out of a gumball machine. Stolen by Steven Adler. True story.

Pic for pic

Okay. You start...

I don't have one of the old Peavey. Stolen 20+ years ago. I can post one of my current T-60, though. And many others, if you want.

...

Step aside poorfags

Heres the current one.

Not poor nor faggot, but Ricks are fucking pretty.

Any interest in Japanese nonpoorfag guitars? I've got a Jackson Kelly Pro in sparkle green and an Ibanez USRG30.

Nice. Fender? What do you have in the bridge there?

Bump I guess. I no one's interested, I guess I'll let this thread die.

I was looking at some Japanese vintage guitar not so long ago

There were some really funky ones with like 11 switches

Clockwise from top-left: Yamaha FG-100 that I've had for almost 30 years, '95 MIM Telecaster with a random Strat neck, Kurt Cobain replica Jaguar, Gibson SG Standard 2015, Epiphone Casino Coupe, Gretsch Jim Dandy. These are my main guitars, I have several more.

Two as promised. 1995 Jackson Kelly Pro in Sparkle Green Metallic, and a 1995 Ibanez USRG30 in Transparent Purple.

...

More guitars deserve to be posted. Therefore you must post. Thx.

Fender AVRI '56 Stratocaster, AVRI '62 Telecaster, Gibson Les Paul Traitional

Better look at that 56 Strat

Tobacco burst LPT from what year? Love Gibson guitars.

...

2013

...

beautiful. are those old style pickups or sustainers? looks like the sustainer on my ibanez

Got one like this under my bed. Great grandma gave it to me, My grandpa got it for rent one month back in the 70's.

my jaguarillo

here's mine

Those are Peaveys "toaster" pickups. they sound killer

I like your Roland JC120 more than any of those guitars.

Nice. I have a tobacco burst from 1990, plus a couple of LP customs from the 70's. Here's the '90.

Fuck You, fuck you all. My Yamaha strat knock off can shred the fucking pants off your trust fund daddy guitars! Die in a fire!

I think they're the originals, or replacement originals. I bought it just a couple of years ago, but it looks like a really clean version of the one I had 20+ years ago. Not sure if it is 100% original or just refurbished.

This is the only one like it in the world. It is appraised at around 15,000. I would say my best experience is being the led singer and guitarist of Blue Oyster Cult.

(I've got one of those too. 1996 RGX421D. So...)

Got this in 2013 as a birthday present. After several pickup swaps and wiring modifications, I love this guitar so much that Ive sold my whole collection (about 15 guitars) just cause I only ever play the Lester.

Steinberger? Or Reb Beach?

I'm still dreaming of the day I can afford a Silverburst LP Custom

I've really been wanting to learn how to play guitar as a new hobby. Do you all really enjoy it?

I really started enjoying it when I could actually play.

Its how i pay the bills so...

Steinberger gmt7a and yes I really am Buck Dharma

Take it out from under your bed. Now.

Nice. Thanks.

I could imagine that would make it more enjoyable lol I know it would take a lot of time an practice, but I feel like I could really get into it. How should I start, accoustic?

I typically only played les pauls till just recently.
but i picked up an ibanez s-470. cheap but very fantastic, i hate ibanez usually but its a great machine.

this motherfucker looks weird
like a slender black cock with fat white balls.

I honestly just looked up guitar chord charts, and played some covers. Scales help too. Theres some good teachers on Youtube.
I think I started on Electric but acoustic guitars are pretty fun aswell

Yeah and it is the best sounding guitar I've ever heard. I have made lots of money from it.

You mean like this? (My dream guitar too. Just got it about a year ago.)

Yes. Reason I'm alive. Seriously.

Agreed.

I just would look up tabs for my favorite songs and inherently learn techniques that way. I don't know scales by name, but I can improv better than most guys in OK

can't disagree, never heard it

Where do you purchase your eyewear?

I've got an early 90's Korea Fender Strat Squire that was my fathers before he passed - piano black, chrome control knobs, Floyd Rose trem, rosewood fretboard - about to go in the shop for all new electronics/pickups and probably rework the neck/frets/fretboard.

I also have a Breedlove Black Magic Dreadnought that I picked up last year.

I wanna be you, man.. GOD DAMMIT THAT SILVERBURST IS SEXY

i bet you can't play for shit with that thing hanging so low

I do both. Learn by learning from others, and by trying to figure it out myself. I started in the early 90's, so I'd play about 3-4 notes on a tape, rewind, listen again, and try to reproduce. Easier now that there are tabs posted online, but that's a great place to learn also.

Better than wearing it like a chin strap.

Used to play guitar but my house was burglarized and the cops didn't do anything about it. The bass gear was too heavy to carry away I suppose, so I became a bassist.

>D
Thanks. It really is the guitar I'd want to be buried with, except that it would deny others of its greatness. It's heavy as christfuck, though. Almost 11 lbs.

Makes me want one even more! I love heavy guitars. Only guitar that was too much ws my old Peavey t40 bass.. Like a boulder

I thought bassists become bassists because they sucked at guitar?

Are you John Entwistle, er...

The Peavey T60 is probably the second heaviest, even more than the LP Customs. That's probably the order...LPC Silverburst, Peavey T60, LPC Natural, LPC Tobacco Burst. The Peavey is a large, very dense guitar. And supremely underrated.

>more than the LP Customs. That's prob
Also, do you agree that the only cure is more cowbell, or nah?

He did like the Sunn Coliseum too.

I play bass more like a guitar than a bass. It's tuned like a cello. In fifths from a low C to a high E. Low string is .120 and the high sting is .020.

Wow, that's really thin on the high side. Low C gauge is pretty standard for a 5-string, but that's really impressive. Can't read the headstock on that, what is it (sorry if should be obvious)?

Also, should've asked where you are from. I'm in Austin, TX.

American television. At the old lockout.

Drink better beer. Other than that, pretty solid.

assumes 1000 bucks is trust fund. Get a real job dirt bag.

Ernie Ball Stingray 5.

Tuning let's me do bassy lows and high guitar melodies. Do a lot of chording and finger tapping.

Anyone who says something like this is a knob. And hasn't been around musicians .

Giggle.

Haha. went for quantity. We used to stay there for days at a time just jamming and writing...I guess butt light didn't put us down.

I have several but there's a Skervesen being made for me.

...

Feel dumb. Thought it was a stingray but it didn't have the signature teardrop pickguard. One of Leo Fender's legacy instruments.

My custom Skerv.

Totally get it. Spent a writing session with an underage friend of mine many years ago...he's older than me...drinking Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill and Mad Dog 20/20. Sounds predictable, but it's true. Last I remembered from that session he was laying face first in front of a tape player listening to Aenima, and saying "Tooool. Fucking tool man". We went for neither quality nor quantity, but we had fun doing it. :)

What years are the g&l's?

Both are 1993s with 3-bolt necks.

All these flavors, and someone just had to be salty.
Anyway, mine.
'91 Strat, '74 Bassman 50, and 90s-era Marshall 4x10s. Just brought the amp back to stock not too long ago. Sounds better than it ever did modded.

I have a cherry burst '91, plays like a dream. Underrated guitars.

Not the original crate for the Bassman head? History?

epiphone g400 66 sg reissue and korina flying v

Ok: I need some advice. Until now I played a lot acoustic guitar. I am looking for an electric guitar, that is versatile for most styles. On acoustic I mainly play fingerstyle songs and some jazzy rock things. What would you recommend as a good guitar for most styles?

It's funny when people try to marginalize them as illegitimate fender knock-offs. They're more Fender than Fenders are.

I only just started, but I have an LP Special II in vintage sunburst.

No shit, I put a duncan antiquity in the bridge and would hold it up to any mia strat for tone and playability.

Where can I buy a good chinese strat copy?

Bought it off the original owner, a keyboardist for a bunch of beach-rat cover bands along the coast of Florida.
According to him, it had played so many gigs in beachfront bars over the years that the head cabinet "just sorta dissolved over time."
I bought it for $180 20 years ago. I've considered getting a new cabinet for the chassis, but I gotta admit-I kinda like the look.

in china.

An LP is gonna sound more like an acoustic or you can get one of the electric acoustics. You could also just install a soundboard pickup on your current guitar.

Fender Strat.
Done.
Will work with ANY style of music.

Rondo music.

For a versatile guitar over many styles, it's either Fender/G&L or Gibson/Epiphone. They sound very different, but most all guitars on the market are more or less trying to imitate some aspect of those two styles. Gibson Les Paul is bell-chimy sharp, crisp, and lots of mid tones. Some but not a pronounced difference between bridge and neck pickup selections. Fender is more twangy, with a lot of tone variability between pickups. Has a broader range of application, in my opinion but more limited in tonal range.

Not home to take a photo, but I play a Baby Blue Fender Jazzmaster, or my semi-hollowbody fender Telecaster.

Agree totally. I have a 2001 Fender American Standard Ash (blond finish), and the two G&L Legacy USA's are so much bigger sounding. The Fender really is great, but the G&L's are more predictable between instruments. I just like their hotter tone a lot more.
