My collection - Updated - that's the lot
Posted: Mon Jul 14, 2014 9:15 pm
I realised ive never really posted much of my collection, so thought I would start with the Jazzmasters. Didn't quite know where to put this, but more new than vintage, so here they are. Each of these is in a different tuning - only the brown one is in standard tuning.
From right to left:
Squier VM Jazzmaster, has a Staytrem but otherwise stock.
1964 Fender Jazzmaster, refin and a re -clear on the neck, but otherwise stock. This has the only standard Jazzmaster bridge I've had that is actually playable.
Squier J Mascis Jazzmaster. Absolutely stock
Built by me Jazzmaster. 2 piece body, finished in brown, vintage guard, mastery, allparts trem, MIJ pickups and a strat style neck. Logo by Jculpjr on Shortscale. I was going for a Nels Cline meets Elvis Costello vibe on this.
Here are a few more, the first three, from right to left - 1989 Epiphone Les Paul Standard, bought new by my parents as a 14th birthday present, middle is an Ibanez artist from 1980, and on the left a Gibson SG Special.
The next three, from right to left. Gordon Smith, spec'd by Benecol to be the same as a 50s Les Paul Junior, middle is a Japanese Tokai Love Rock Junior, from 2003, and on the left...well I don't know really - I found it in the local Cash Converters and I paid £90 with a HSC. It's a mahogany body with a book matched maple top and it has a pickup under the bridge. If anyone knows who the maker might be, let me know.
Next up are the shortscales, a 73 Mustang, a 65 Musicmaster (currently with 2 pickups and the neck from my Squier Jag) and a 75 Musicmaster Bass. The two bodies are guitars in mid restoration, the white one is a 63 and the green a late 60s.
Then two Jags and a Bass VI. The white one is about to get converted back to stock and sold, but as it sits it has the neck from my 65 Musicmaster and an aged white pickguard. The Bass VI is stock at the moment, and the Jag is a recent build - a vintage partsmaster from 65/66.
Next a 1980 hardtail Strat, refinished to natural and a 1970 SG Special
Two Teles here, a Mexican Deluxe reissue from the 2000s and a recent Squier Tele Thinline that I have converted to a baritone
A banjo, half bought because I wanted to try it out and half because I share a surname with the manufacturer. The Daisy Rock 12 string is unfinished, I haven't chosen a bridge pickup yet. It plays incredibly well.
A couple of acoustics, an Epiphone PR-5 and a Crafter 12 string that came to me with a broken neck and I have fixed it. Quite satisfying to be honest.
Three more acoustics (in a different room as they are about to go) a Tanglewood bowl back, a Samick 12 string and a 70s Eko Ranger.
And this is where they all live . The racks are a great solution, really space efficient. Unfortunately my Twin has to double up as a stand for an organ - a 60s Farfisa.
