ridiculous, but my only complaint with the guitar. straplocks were a must.
it's got a maple top, unlike the old gibson customs which had mahogany. and i'm sure the kahler adds quite a bit, too.

1972 Fender Bronco

When i got thing back in 04' it was sooooooooo fucked up. it was routed out for a second pickup and had a tele neck pickup in the neck, with the OG bronco pickup still in the bridge. I filled in all the bad parts, got a new tort pickguard for it, a seymour duncan DuckBucker pickup for the bridge and put the bronco pickup in the bridge of my duocaster.

i have played it so much over the last year or so that the paint on the top of it has been wearing off. not that i really care because it was refinned a long ass time ago (no idea when but its spot on for faded oly white, matches my mustang bass perfect.)

to be honest i didn't really play the thing that much before i got the bass and made it look like the bronco. it kind of re-introduced me to the guitar and i never put the thing down after that. the neck is worn in, same size and shape as all my other's, i still like the jagstang neck better but thats just because i grew up with that guitar and played it every day for 8 years with no other guitars.

72 tele custom. ive not done any mods to it. or, my ROMO BRONCO. all the mods that were needed were done while it was being built.

1964 duo-sonic:



plenty of shortscale mojo, this used to belong to hurb, and as a result of buying it i found this place. hooray!

i suppose my '67 coronado is equally as loved as the duo, i could if pushed get by with just these two guitars and nothing else. they compliment each other perfectly.

these two, although I don't play guitar that much this days....

My #1 go-to guitar is my Mustang. Its a '69 RI with the neck of a '66 RI. It's lightweight, really nice to play and sounds pretty good. Therefore perfect for being able to just grab and mess around with whenever i feel like it.

The one that if I had to sell everything but 1 I would keep

CIJ Jaguar.

Haven't changed a thing except the strings and the intonation since the day i got it from Fran.

The only thing I need to do is get a mustang bridge.

I wish i got a sunburst jag now the off white gets abit boring after a while. Still love it loads though.

The one that gets most used:

I'm going to warn you. It ain't pretty.
The neck is just perfect. Ebony on maple. Wide but not too thin, I've got average hands I guess, but stubby fingertips.
The body has a wooden core surrounded by some sort of of mdf mixed with superheavy rock-hard glue. Weighs like 13 pounds. The dirty fingers pickups need potting but they sound sweeeeeeet.

WTF that's totally pretty.. do want

That guitar rules. Probably one of my faves ever actually. Rad.

HOAP THIS GETS REPLACED SOON BY MAH NEW JAGUAR:

I forgot about that Jagmaster you own, also your boxer has a nice coat, and interesting stripes, don't think I've ever seen a boxer with stripes.

i think it has to me this. Epiphone les paul goldtop. i got this from a friend, he had an insane amount of gear, but only used one or two of the guitars he owned. i've always lusted after a goldtop, p90 pickups are the sound i love. so i got this off him. at one point, i tried to install a mini humbucker in the bridge, which failed big time and as i was trying to scrape some of the superglue (yes, i was a noob to guitar mods) off i caught the top finish. i put it back to stock and messed around with pickup heights and string gauges and it's now been the main guitar i use at practice/gigs. such a lovely bright clean and nice crunch, but with a little more oomph than a standard single coil.



though since i got my mustang and especially since i fixed the tuning stability, this may takeover. used it for Sunday's practice and it sounded fucking sweet.

Gibson (lol) 1980 Sonex Custom

<3 Sonnex and Marauders! Even this dirtycream example is still aaaaawesome!

One of these days, I'll own a proper one of these, and not a crappy knockoff:

Had to post two because they sound (and feel) totally different and I love them both.


'97 CIJ Jag

Bought this one from our very own Gavin about 4 years ago. Had it professionally set up 'cause I couldn't do it, and it turns out the neck needed stoning (I think that was the word), whatever that means. And they filed the saddles a bit and now it plays like an absolute dream.


'05 620

Brought this over from the USA. I'm going to have this one professionally set up too when I have some money this summer 'cause it's not right, the nut it too high and I daren't faff about with it, and the intonation's a constant bitch.

My #1 is #2 here:

This is my go-to guitar, and has been for the whole 2 years since I bought it, partly because the only other guitar I've had for that time is an Affinity Telecaster. It was set up perfectly for me when I bought it, the action is nice and low, and I just love the sound of this thing. All parts are stock. I'm hoping by the end of this year to have a Mustang, so I imagine when that happens it will become my go-to.
