Guitar players, post your guitar pics

In response to a suggestion by An Arky in this thread , this is a thread in which guitar players are encouraged to post links to pictures of their guitars.

I’ll start with a group photo of my favorite four. Left to right: 1994 Fender Strat Plus, Epiphone Dot, Taylor 714CE, 1965 Fender Mustang.

Here’s my favorite guitar and here are myother ones that are loved a little less.

Durn, I typo’d my Taylor model; it’s a 710CE. Sheesh.

I’m short on pics so will just post a link if that’s alright… Alvarez acoustic electric.

Niiice, Croatalus! So, um, what’s your address and what time are you normally away from home? :smiley:

I’ll try to do some pics later, but in the meantime, here’s a cheesy YouTube video featuring my main guitar, an ‘02 Rickenbacker 330 in Burgandy-Glo, with the added bonus of me a) sounding like a hick because I’d been a drankin’ and b) looking like I weigh 300 pounds due to a fan billowing my shirt (it was supposed to be billowing my hair, 80s power ballad-style, damnit!), oh, and c) random shots of people hovering over a dessert table…

Dang, I can’t watch youtube at work. I’ll check it out tonight.

Along with the other info you requested, you’ll need the code to my security system, too. :smiley:

Okay, here goes:

  • Gracie - a 1973 Gibson Les Paul Limited Edition '54 Black Beauty Reissue (say that three times fast; or - now you know why I gave it a nickname ;)). My number 1 guitar; the one that has taught me the most about tone, playability and what it means to own and play a truly magic guitar (they are out there). Named after the cat in the picture because both are demanding diva bitches who purr when you treat them the right way. :cool:

  • 1957 Gibson Les Paul Special - my “but I really want to have one cool vintage guitar” guitar. Traded for it for a couple of First Edition books - I actually came across a guy who is a dealer in two things: vintage guitars and rare books, my two passions. It was my destiny to work a deal with him!

  • My Parts-o-Tele - I found someone’s failed Parts-o-Caster languishing in a local music store, selling for a fraction of what the parts were worth. It had a couple of parts I was looking for, so I bought it and swapped everything else out including the body and electronics, had the neck re-shaped, etc. My main gigging guitar because I have virtually nothing in it and it’s a Tele - the super-versatile “Plank” that is good for anything…

  • Japanese Les Paul Replica - described in this thread, post #33 - great guitar, soon to be sold to fund my next project guitar…

I have a Gibson J-45 acoustic that I adore (this is a link to an online pic, not my specific guitar). And a few others, but I don’t have pics and they are not part of my main guitarsenal ( :smiley: ) anyway…

What’s that array of stuff on the body of that one six-string? Are those individual transducers?

It’s a Babicz Guitar and has the strings going across the whole top of the soundboard. It’s a really nice, booming sound . The guitar also has an adjustable height for the strings by the turn of a screw on the back without going out of tune. It’s a gimmicky guitar for sure, but I actually like it.

Wow. I definitely learned something new today.

Nice guitar, lieu. Now you need to buy WordMan’s Japanese LP. :slight_smile:

What - my hints weren’t obvious enough? :wink:

I was going to ask stpauler about the Babicz, too - I have played a bunch; I hate the ones with synthetic tops (because I am a complete snob and issues with synthetic guitar tops is my problem and I understand that (takes a breath and repeats this mantra)) but I love the sound of the ones with natural tops. That anchoring system for the strings definitely changes the vibration of the top…I don’t think of them as gimmicky - I accept the design as legitimate but different.

If I was allowed to expand my guitarsenal (ANY excuse to get that word into a post! :stuck_out_tongue: ) I would definitely consider one…

[url=]Carvin SC90 - my only electric guitar. Workhorse for sure. Plays incredible and feels great.

That’s a MusicMan bass off to the right, but it’s not mine. I have an acoustic, but no pics yet.

Hmmm, linky no worky - at least for me…could be a bandwidth/firewall issue on my end of things…

Nope, I choked hard on the coding. Let’s try it again.

Carvin SC90.

2008 Fender American Deluxe Telecaster.

2008 Schecter C1 Classic

1971 Gibson SG Deluxe w/ frankenbridge.

1980ish ? Electra Pheonix “strat” clone, and SqueegeeJr playing it, picking “Walk Don’t Run”.

Don’t I know it. Even a crush on Gracie can’t quench my desire. But let’s face it, that’d be like one of Bridget Bardot’s dogs going to the owner of a Pyongyang deli. I can’t do that to such a beautiful guitar.

Man, I’m really digging WordMan’s '57 and squeegee’s '71.

Great thread idea, give everybody G.A.S., like bringing a keg to an AA meeting! :smack:

Dude, if we had to live up to our guitars in advance I’d still be playing my Harmony Rocket. Getting a better guitar elevates your aspirations, makes you a better player as a result. Yeah, that’s the ticket.

squeegee’s brand new Tele is a beauty, too.

And speaking of G.A.S., I suspect fellow-sufferer Le Ministre de l’au-delà may have something interesting to show us.
