believe me, i know exactly why this thing is a bargain... if you want to try a nice strat get your hands on a Rory Gallagher tribute... that thing is THICK with tone and plays like a monster... if I had to have only one guitar the rest of my life, that would be the one... but even used they are upwards of $3000+, an amazing guitar... I like the SRV neck, thick and meaty, I just wish they made that guitar in nitro finish as it deserves to be... and I can do without the gold hardware...
The SRV was not a "right out of the box" guitar. I think after 6mths to a yr of breaking in, it became the guitar it was intended to be. It was a tone monster. Cranked to 10 on the Blues Deluxe, it had "it". Dude, the gold hardware made it have some serious character. Lol Another guitar, that I don't seem to have a picture of was the PRS Singlecut 10 Top. Man, that thing was wicked. The neck was just to much for my arthritic hand. It would wail though.
LA, I am digging the pics of some of your old stuff. It's cool to see what has come and gone. I am mostly an acoustic guy myself as I like to play country and bluegrass mostly. I am used to discussions about solid tops and different kinds of bracing instead of all this electric mumbo jumbo :D
Don't have a camera right now but my go to guitar right now is a Guild GAD-30. I mainly play acoustic but I have a Schecter Omen 6 when i wanna rock out. Also have a Seagull S6 original. All great guitars i plan on having a long time.
Just thought I would dig this thread up to post a new one in my stable. 1983 Les Paul Standard. B-B-B-Bad to the Bone.
Jimmitch, either you work for Gibson, your single, or you just have more money than you got sense (and an understanding mate. LOL Man what an impressive collection. I could never cough up the change for those. Even if I had the money.
Wow, those are all nice, Will I didnt know you played, I wish I would have because I would have had you give me some pointers in Stillwater.
Thanks Guys it took a life time to get them. They were a lot cheaper when I bought them, then today.The 1993 korina sg I got for $750 in 1995.I payed $250 for the 1970 Sg.the white les paul $850 .Then ebay came along now you never see a good guitar at a good price.
I'm in! Front to back- PRS SE Singlecut Ibanez RG 4QM Ibanez RG 320 A couple of Squier Strats that I use to teach Alvarez acoustic, not sure which model Top amp is a Crate Vintage Club 50. One of the best unknown amps ever made. It was the last model Crate made in the US before the company was sold, so when it was designed, the engineer who designed it did so without any regard to cost. Amazing amp, and a TOTAL bargain. 4 12ax7 and 4 el84 tubes. Bottom amp is also a Crate. That's a solid state though. The preamp on the VC50 is plugged into the power amp of the SS. Produces a much tighter bottom end than a normal vintage style tube amp, but still reacts like tubes. Sent from my HTCEVOV4G using Tapatalk 2
