Let me agree on that one

[dyna mo]

i'm still going through the rubbing out, i mean weeding out process (and that's after experienceing guitar pr0n sensory overload)

but i have narrowed it down to just the following:

[Minte]

Getting close.. for sure the Strat..and the LP Junior is looking good.

[tony286]

The last one is cool but unless you are touring with aerosmith how many guitars can you play?

[MikeFold]

I am thinking this one:

I'm over 30 now in my collection and my loft is huge. Easily will accommodate another 40 more.

Nice ladies holding some fine wood!

[pornguy]

the one with the biggest tits.

I have 13 American strats last I counted, all with 1 string tree. My Ritchie Blackmore strat mij has 2, my Eric Johnson has zero. I like no string trees but sometimes you get that harmonic on the G above the nut

That's really a nice picture! I've got three strats and the Eric Johnson is the only one that doesn't have any string trees.

[tony286]

I got a question. I got a inexpensive guitar and thinking of changing the stock humbuckers. Want to get something that's versatile, so playing clean or rocked out they hold up. Suggestions?

hey, thanks, just room light last nite.

from my research on this guitar, it's one of the few mia that have 2 string trees.

it's a 2003 first year highway 1, it came with all the case candy, still sealed, fantastic shape, still has the sticker on the back plate! got it all for $550. not bad for mia right?

speaking of back plate, so i'm to remove it every time i change the strings? the holes in the plate don't line up with the trem block. i just left it off after putting fresh strings on


quack quack!

i recently chose the duncan hot rodded set for a guitar project i am working on, i like them and they are reasonable priced. there are several brands that get insanely good reviews and some can get quite expensive, i thought these to be a nice balance, ebay has them at a good price too.

Oh those are cool. Yeah Im thinking about getting rewired, the pots suck also. They look like they would work nice.

are you going to do it yourself? it's a fun project, not too difficult either, if you have a solid body guitar, taking out the wiring and redoing should be pretty simple, then just matching up where the wires go and soldering. a luthier wanted to charge me a $200 to do this for a hollow body, eesh! so i did it myself.

ebay is also good for the pots, switch and jack, i bought mojotone custom 500k cts pots for mine via ebay, they were only ~$5 each. and ebay has some super sweet vintage capacitors too! it's pretty fun !

[John-ACWM]

Yes, if you put it that way

I have a left handed gibson LPJ http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/LPJC2CH-13
They used a circuitboard for the wiring so the pickups plug in. So I would have to have a pro do it. I never did one before, it would be a total rewire. The local guys don't seem too expensive to do it.

That was a great price you got on that. The guy must've been desperate to raise some cash.

[tucata]

i will buy all for a nice long weekend

t, mojotone makes a prewired harness for your guitar with their high quality parts and more, super price too, you can then just get the pickups soldered to the volume control and bam.

it was a low initial price, no reserve ebay auction i sniped the crap out of! + there was 1 blonde hgwy 1 that was in the middle of a bidding war whne this guy listed his, so the heavy hitter had just bought and many others were pooped out it seems. + this seller took crappy cell phone pics, listed it via ebay mobile, didn't have a real good description and had the auction end on a saturday afternoon, all of which allowed me to swoop in and snag it.

i'm loving too, already. i've had quite a few guitars come through here since july and only the ones i've kept around i've mentioned here, except for the sorrento, that went back.

point being, very few have compared to the pawn shop '72 for me, even the telecaster tc-90 i've never really bonded with.

based on how incredible this strat is, i'm planning on putting the ps-72 and the tc-90 up for auction after thanksgiving.

[dyna mo]

what i'm *thinking* is to sell those 2 and a couple other cheapies and put that towards getting a gibson.

i'm pretty sure i've decided my 1st foray into gibbies will be the flying v




although the new 2013 les paul 70s tribute looks to be a killer guitar too, and it has them there fancy robot tuners!

Thank you so much!

[dyna mo]

speaking of guitar projects , i've just, as of this morning did final reassembly and wax on my first project, check it out!

this is a 1998 made in korea epiphone casino. These are very well made casinos and the ebony color is even more rare. not rare like valuable, but rare and the casino a very cool full hollowbody guitar.

anyhoo, i snagged this beat-up copy for cheap, gutted the electronics, removed all the scratches and swirls, polished it up real good, put in those pots i mentioned, new wiring, jack, switch. also changed out the original p-90 pickuos for seymour duncan antiquities and upgraded all the hardware to black nickel, graph-tech bridge, and les paul speed knobs

this is my down and dirty blues machine! i'm diggin it.


before & after

[dyna mo]

the casino has a pretty rich history, it's actually an original epiphone model, i.e., not a gibson clone. epiphone created it pre-gibson, gibson indeed cloned the casino with their es-330.

the casino became instantly popular when several of the beatles selected it as their go-to guitar:



]










the original casinos, asyou can see, where very classic in paint schemes, so it's considered unique in the history of the casino that it was finished in the ebony paint scheme i have, some consider it casino blasphemy!

original early 60s casinos command thousands of dollars today!

[Minte]

After all those choices I ended up with something totally different.
A custom shop ES335 w p-90's

[Yngwie]

out of all of those I'm really liking the Strat. It has personality.

congrats minte! i think you prolly have *picked up* (yuk yuk) on how much i like archtop hollowbody guitars and p-90s! it might take a while, but i'll trade up to an es series gibson at some point.

my ultimate rig would be a trini lopez



it's surprising you would pick the p-90s, are you playing early jazz? i thought you were focused more on jazz fusion......

btw, is that a 2008 memphis?


only 50 of those made..............

I went into Milwaukee today to look at a 1961 ES125Tc with dual p90's which is a very rare configuration. The guitar looked good for it's age but didn't play well. The top had sunk just enough over the years to mess up the action.

On my way out the store the salesperson brought this ES335 out of their platinum room and I immediately liked it. Exactly what I was looking for. It was a custom from the Memphis shop. I am drifting back into some older jazz again. I played in a trio for years and kind of miss it. Not quitting my day job or anything but it's still fun to play.
