Hahaha, nice Gretsches, what's the colour of the one on left? It's looks pretty.
My guitars photobomb (sorry).
50th Anniversary Danelectro. The gold hardware is rubbing off, but gold hardware doesn't fit a cheap guitar. This is my main player, I first hated the super flat neck but now it's comfortable to play.
Plywood El Degas LP copy. It's a lawsuit copy, and it's been abused pretty bad (I threw it in the air at a backyard show, and didn't catch it), I bought it with a broken jack input, tons of dings, and a half finished paint job. I took off paint, spray painted it yellow, and then got high and drew on it. I want to turn it into a black beauty, or just throw a super distortion in the bridge wired straight to the jack and have a thrasher.
1963 Harmony Hollywood. I am never going to sell this guitar. Bought it from a old lady in a yard sale. I couldn't try the electronics at the time, she didn't own an amp, but it was worth the gamble. Still smells like old people. the pickup is microphonic, so it picks up everything and makes it suck to play live but it's great as an acoustic and for the quiet times. I learned a lot about guitar care buying this, really want to keep this playable when I'm 50. Also has the thickest neck in the world.
Probably the largest post I've made yet.

i like that harmony

Man those 50th Anniversary Danos are pretty, and pretty hard to find...Heard form my dealer friend here in Seoul that none basically made it over here when they came out.
And I'd love to thumb out some Wes Montgomery with that Harmony, that chunky neck looks like so much fun to grab.

If you look up close under natural lighting, the G6196TSP-2G is technically light gray with metallic lavender trim, but it can go from looking like it's Sonic Blue + Purple, all the way to White + LPB, depending on lighting. It's such a good playing/sounding guitar, that even the Sychrosonic/Melita bridge is behaving itself without a buzz now that I've got on a medium set of Pure Nickel wounds. Honestly, the G6122-1962 and old G6128 are getting very jealous of my attention...but I can honestly say that it's one of those once-a-decade things I've been through where I truly "found the one".WayToHip wrote:Hahaha, nice Gretsches, what's the colour of the one on left?

Beautiful pearl your Gretsch

I like it and I normally find Gretsch guitars to be goofy looking(in a bad way), with a few exceptions.

a gretsch is in my long term plan.

One dude in MD kept dropping the price over the past year in his online shop on Gbase, yet the image was "hiding" behind that of a standard green G6196TR, so I have a feeling few actually saw it and was in quiet pursuit the way I was slobbering/ogling at it from across the Great Plains Pacific. Snagged it up quickly when it dropped another $150 and started dipping under $2k.
And when the Jaded music video came out (dang, something like already 15 years ago now?), I remember seeing Joe Perry's studio shots with his Falcon shot with the fisheye lens and it looked dreadfully uncomfortable/impractical. However, the equal dimensions of the G6196's 2.75" thick body doesn't feel overly fat of anything like an acoustic boat of a guitar, and although it may incur Georgehaet for the 17" bout and other factors, the whole package is nothing to frown upon, the Hofner 500/1 I'm getting rid of right now being curiously way more cumbersome due to the smaller body that is nothing but FAT with my right wrist either getting bruised up or the arm itself looking for a place to rest. The somewhat rare and intentionally-jazz-oriented MIK G3110 from a while back is the other Jazzy guitar to contras in size, being an otherwise unsual 3" x 16" body that has a comparatively fatter/boxier feel as well, and the tall wooden bridge makes the strings sail high above the top. But I digress...
#ReflectiveJoeFalconMoment
The other thing is that the laminated spruce top, dynasonics, and 25.5" scale makes the G6196TSP-2G a really fun jazzbox as well, and with the more mellow pure nickel strings on it right now the brighter snap of the single coils mated to the higher string tension from the longer scale gets calmed a bit and sets the overall tone in a nicely warm zone. Of course Mr. Koch can make anything sing/pluck/spank, but for the most part far I'm not twanging as nearly as brightly as he is on the Wildwood clip...Which I'm fine with

Nice selection, sir. What model is the LP?
Posted: Fri Dec 12, 2014 9:15 am
'09 Gibson Les Paul Traditionnal Gold Top
It's amazing, for a Les Paul, and for a Gibson. I kept it full stock, it sounds and plays great.

Thanks for all the Harmony love. It's an attention getter.
Here's an old pic of my two basses.
On the left is an Korean Thunderbird, it's my main practice bass. It's served me well but I feel ready to upgrade. On the right is an Epiphone Jack Casady. I have a thing for hollowbody instruments and the colour black. This is my gigging/jam bass. Smaller neck by a fraction than the Tbird but it feels faster and more nimble. The Varitone control works great for taming feedback or instantly getting snarly. I have the pickguard off b/c the tan/nude/sand colour is ugly. I don't feel like buying a different pickguard yet too. If I had the money I'd instantly find a white one and put an old mudbucker at the neck.
Same, probably hopefully as a White Falcon bass. It's in the realm of "Not Happening", but one can dream.dots wrote:a gretsch is in my long term plan.

That's a nice DuoJet - humpblock inlays and the larger headstock look great. Every so often I think I wouldn't mind an orange Anniverary (6119 single pickup), or a Falcon, but to be honest the G6128 is all I need from Gretsch. It just does everything.ultratwin wrote:Merry Gretschmas, doodz.
