she's out....watching the clock now till everyone has left

this is what my Gibson copy looks like, even down to the fret board inlay...price tag is a little shy of this one though!!! Plus mine has a second humbucker pick up and chrome switchgear

 

[andyfraser]

I currently have:

• A Yamaha acoustic of some description.
• A BC Rich Warlock.
• A cheap Aria super stray that I was going to customise but after setting it up it turned put to be fantastic.
• A Dean ML.

I'm hoping to add a 7 string after Christmas.

 

[ScotiaLass]

I have:
A Yamaha 12 string
An Ovation semi-acoustic
and my baby, an Epiphone Les Paul Standard Gold Top

[QUOTE 2792078, member: 259"]Snap! (Honestly!)

But I sold the Eppy a few years back,.

Which Ovation do you have? I've got a 1994 anniversary, like the one on the right.

Can't remember off hand! Was bought late 90's and is a gorgeous deep red/wine colour

very jealous, the telecaster already sounds lovely, the more battered the better I think.

Here you go ...

and the Strat ...

This Strat is modded with hot pickups and a switch to turn the neck pickup on, so you can run the bridge and the neck together, or all three pickups. I've built another with a switch to run the middle pickup in series with either the bridge or the neck pickup, effectively as a humbucker, and a blend pot to bring in the bridge or neck pickup. That makes some crazy sounds, not at all like a normal Strat.

I Wish I had the know how to build up something old into something fantastic, like your strat. I suspect I would really enjoy that.

Tele looks a beauty, although I've never got on with maple fret boards, this is definitely the right look for a telecaster!

Had loads over the years, current ones are... Fender USA Strat, Les Paul which I'm ashamed to say haven't come out of their cases for quite awhile. Yamaha 12 string and a Crafter acoustic.
One of my favorites was this, which I bought for my daughter when she played in a band......

 

[TheDoctor]

Excellent!!!

 

[MontyVeda]

I've got

Admira Sevilla classical (favourite)
Ibanez acoustic (2nd favourite)
Lakeland 12 string (would be better used as a cricket bat)
Gordon Smith GS1 (lovely, but i can't get a decent sound out of an electric guitar)
Yamaha Guitarlele (cute but never played)

all strung left hand, which really annoys other guitar players.

 

[Slim]

.....Anyone have an electric guitar they can rec for a beginner?

I'd definitely class myself as a beginner and after a few recommendations from guitar playing friends stretched the budget to this

 

[Chris Norton]

Gibson les paul (an 84 model nothing too vitagey) with a marshall 30 watt amp. Inspired by Scott Gorham. Superb guitar, shite guitarist at the end of it. Still a lovely piece of kit though.

 

[Plax]

Some good looking guitars there! I've got my eye on a Les Paul Special II on eBay actually. Also an Argos one - an "Elevation" http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/5401336.htm auction ends Sunday and it's just down the road from me so if I can win it for about £30 I'll be happy.

 

[jonny jeez]

Without hijacking Plax's thread and making this a "show me your guitar thread". here is my Gibson copy, compared to the original
Mine, Priceless

Original worth about £3000

 

[Saluki]

I have an Epiphone Dove and a Squier Strat, a 1989 Korean model and its fabulous.

 

[Dave 123]

I have a Tanglewood TW45 NSB electro acoustic. The neck is fairly slight which suits my stumpy fingers. I also have an Esteve 6PS classical guitar, fairly cheap, but a lovely warm, rich sound.

Now, I have a problem..... My Christmas bonus will buy me either a Tanglewood 12 string OR a Garmin 800/810.

I already have two guitars, but no Garmin. What to do.....?
