I've been meaning to for some time. The problem is, I want to take it apart and take gut shots, good shots of the neck, all that stuff. It's actually a '74 refin, so it's got all of the vibe and mojo of a '69 at 1/10th the cost! haha

I like to rotate use so I stay familiar and potentialy discover something cool. A guitar will usually spend a month or two on the couch with me before I switch to the next. That said, I was mostly playing st jimmy's acoustic ibanez for a couple of months before I got the martin which I imagine will spend a while in the living room with me now.

Thanks very much.

Ever since I got it I have been picking my Squier CV Tele up more than anything else by a long way.

More and more it's my altered Epi SG. I have put a set of Tonerider P90's in there and installed a USA Bigsby B5. It just sounds so nice.

SG's with bigsbys are one of my favorite looking guitars ever. Left handed SG's look even cooler for some reason.

Mine has a CV 50 body Thom, i really like the stock pup as well.

I really can't get over how good it is! Stands up next to others I have that are many times more expensive. I love it.

Until recently the Baja Tele was my go-to more or less ever since I bought it a couple of years ago, but since I've had the Jagmaster refinished I can't seem to put it down.

My 1st choice is my lovely CP Jaguar...

I've almost only played my first DC Jr kit since completing it in April '11. Everything I like about Les Pauls and SGs combined, with a bit of Tele thrown in for good measure. It's a cliche to say this about single-pickup guitars, but it's somehow liberating to play something so basic, though the transition was certainly made easier by the fact that P90s are so reactive to minor vol/tone control tweaks.



I love it so much I'm making it a little girlfriend.

Really nice, I have a soft spot for DC LPjr's.

How do you guys do the hidden thing when u post pics?

For someone whose guitar-quantity-to-playing-skill-ratio is about 10:1, It's almost embarrassing how excellent the frugal Swing T-Thru is at doing everything I need it to do. And knowing it cost just $150 and spending hour with this thing, I'm sure folks would agree that it's a great guitar. Truth be told, six months on and it's already been used on close to a dozen Samsung Mobile promo tracks.

The tiny satin neck is very comfortable, sustain is unlike anything else in the collection (save the Yamaha SG1000), and with both humbuckers having coil-splitting switches that actually sound good, I can't really complain about the ugly roasted elephant-placenta "grilled beef" burl top...Although it will be soon it just might be covered in custom-stitched brown Gucci handbag fabric for something very silly. Maybe.

That looks like pretty amazing value for $150.

I really didn't want to admit it.

MIK Swings in general are decent instruments that rarely make it outside of Korea, and with a simple search I recently found that a rosewood-topped T-Thru in really good shape just sold for W130,000 ($110) locally this past week. Other than some cracking that the bubinga-veneer have been susceptible to, the ones I've been around have proven to be fairly durable and keep their necks straight, even with the relative climate extremes we get here reminiscent of New England.

They're still ugly though.

My go-to guitar is my Gretsch Duo-Jet. The filtertrons & bigsby and the fingerboard make it unbeatable for me.
