I think the roller style pots were just to try and make something different from the norm to hopefully sell more guitars. It obviously didn't work and they went bust. I guess you either love them or hate the appearance of them. I just want one to collect to be honest.

My family.
Left to right: 80's japanese squire modded with a rather fetching red sparkle paint job and 3 humbuckers (59, kent armstrong, JB). Mid 90's custom shop 54 strat. 52ri tele. Early 2000's Les Paul standard. Peerless Monarch Yamaha f700 steel string acoustic. Paco Castillo 204 nylon string. In front Ibanez s420, Ibanez RG2570.
Not in the pic is my newest. A 65ri sunburst strat - it's an amazing sounding guitar.
These have been acquired over 20 odd years. Most were bought for a particular playing situation/band/gigs. They all get played at gig's and were all chosen after playing and comparing against other similar instruments. For example I went out for an SG, couldn't find a good one, tried what seemed like every Les Paul in Manchester before settling on this one, it was nicer than some big buck historic reissues too!
I'm a musician not a collector.
Love the archtop.

Not at all!
Not my actual guitar but I do own one: Gibson Epiphone Sheraton Semi-acoustic
Nice, it reminds me, of the E335 'dot', as played by Dave Edmunds (Vintage Blonde, I think it's called?)

I agree with you about the rollers. Guitarists are very conservative and rightly so imho.

My 1989 Squier is my 'go to' guitar. It's had most of it's Squier parts replaced with Fender parts over the years. Sounds fantastic and I love him to bits. I was offered proper money for him about 6 months ago but he's not for sale.
Takamine G series, Chord Concert size Ukulele and my lovely Epiphone Dove.
Slightly tatty, seafoam 'Vintage' (Brand, not description) Strat with Wilkinson pickups and rosewood neck. Great fun to play, especially for Malmsteen, Vai etc as the action is so darned low. Found him, unloved, in a junk shop and sorted him out. Quite possibly going to live next door at my neighbours as she would like to buy it for her son,
Epiphone Les Paul. Technically Hubster's but he never plays it. I play it fairly regularly as I feel a bit sorry for it. He's talked about selling it but it's still here.
There is a Peavey Bass tucked around the corner. Not mine but Hubster's. He doesn't play that either. I dust it every week but will organise him some lessons with our Mitch, at work to get him inspired. Mitch is an awesome Bass player and an awesomer teacher.

An old friend of mine plays 'Slap' Bass' in a rockabilly band (& a girl we used to know, before she emigrated) also played 'slap'
Neville (he used to have a really good quiff);

The one on the left doesn't have a name as I made this myself from scratch. The body is made from the remains of an oak kitchen worktop. The pick guard is made from a blank piece, the neck is made from a blank and the rest is a variety of parts I picked up over the years. I did the wiring myself as well. The one on the right is my favourite Tele made from swamp ash.
