those are really the only ones i play nowadays... and the jaguar doesn't get picked up much.

prolly cause I have it!

Anyways, I've just gone through a big guitar collection overhaul but right now the one I pick up the most is a Mustang. Followed my 24.75 Jap Epiphone Et 270 copy and SX tele with buckers.

I don't know if that's the one but he posted it elsewhere on the forum, maybe it's just the same colour.

For Fran: I'd love a sunburst one. But black will do.

I need to get the badly cut brass nut replaced but other than that (and a fair amount of wear and tear) its perfect. Fran's comment about the humbuckers in the replacement pickups thread was spot on, they're clear as crystal with plenty of output but also a sorta vintage tone. I had to muck around with the heights of the individual poles on the bridge to get the sound I wanted out of it but now its fine. I do still have this idle fantasy of sticking a BKP Warpig in the fucker and dooming out though.
Most of the time I favour the Sonex because I use a flattened coin as a pick and love the nasty sounds I can get out of the dirty fingers. Also I have the action on the SG so low I'm hesitant to take a metal pick to it, even if its beat up already ahah.

i can only speak in terms of guitars still in one piece....otherwise my strat would probably still be my 'go-to'

#1 - 1959 guyatone LG 60. Estimated scale length around 22-23"
#2 - ESP (easy to play for noodling about)
#3 - Wesley Gaytar

One day a '65 Mustang will be finished and judging from how it played before i pulled it apart it may well be #1

There's some crappy pics here, I should really sort out a proper camera:

You have the exact one i've always wanted. Gorgeous.
Yeah the pickups are amazing, i'd love to know what they based them on.

I've also got a Mandolin - does that count? I do Yngwie malmsteen poses and shit whilst playing it.

That black SG2000 is really nice.

My only bass is a shortscale. It's the Epiphone Allen Woody sig.

The Maverick is my favorite guitar on the the board, i'd say.

Thanks! It's one of my two dream guitars. The other is a Guild Thunderbird.

I don't currently own any shortscales.

CP Jazzmaster is my main guitar. Cyclone II backs it up.
69 Hagstrom HIIN, because of it's super flat fretboard and metallesque neck profile, I reserve for very low tuning.

I do use my jag an awful lot, but if I were to choose my "main guitar" it owuld be my 50s tele.
I rock a CV duo at home, and my bass is a mustang bass.

Aye. Short scale CP Jag HH

So used to it now that Strats, Teles and Jazzy's all feel less than familiar

Still use the 24.75" Toronado as my backup and it feels fine

#1 – Hondo/Bullet Partscaster , 25.5� scale
#2 – Reissue Dano 59 DC, 25� scale
#3 – 1975 Fender Musicmaster, 24� scale
#4 – 1978 Fender Musicmaster, 24� scale

This is the current order of what gets played the most.

no shorties.

guitars:
Westone Thunder I
Aria Pro II cardinal series.

basses:
Westone Thunder I
70s Encore Pbass copy

I put no because my hollowbody is a Gibson copy. How would I measure to figure out the scale though? I measured from the end of the headstock to the end of the fretboard and got 25 inches. The nut to the end of the fretboard is 18 inches.

The low E side measures 24.5 and the high e measures 24 and 3/8. Is this technically a short scale?

I would be happy to show some love to that Mustang for you

I'd be willing to bet that your guitar is a standard Gibson scale which is 24.75. That would be considered a standard scale.
