What guitars do you all play?

[BurntFingers]

I presume most of the people on this forum are guitar players... maybe some of those long guitars with 4 of the big strings are here too.

What are we all rocking?

I've been playing this one a lot. I built it last year because I had some pretty vitex (the top wood) to use up so here it is. And yes, the strings are upside down. Don't worry about it. Go watch Eric Gales and you'll understand.



Some padauk and maple goodness. Interestingly in NZ they call padauk 'rosewood', which gets fun.



What are y'all playing?

Mainly Jazzmasters. A black Fender with custom wound P90s, and a standard Fender sunburst with Fender pure vintage.
The offset shape just plays better for me.

And some acoustics, an archtop, strat, tele....

I just recently got my first baritone
So I’ve been playing that one a lot

And this is the acoustic I’ve been playing lately a Newporter

I saw baritone and PRS and thought it was going to be the Mike Mushok signature.

Nice. This is my only acoustic.

It’s been awhile... since I heard that name...
Lol

Late 80s Peavey Predator, bought it for 200 bucks from the sweetest old dude and pimped it out a bit. It had 2 Bill Lawrence humbuckers and a weird coloured pickguard to start.


Monson Redemption in caveman tuning (Open drop F or G)


Dean 12 string



And a Squier J Mascis that I don’t have a picture of but it’s stock.

That's an awesome looking guitar, great work! I've built a few Tele's, but that's really special.

My main guitar is an Ibanez AGR73T that I've modded the hell out of, it's a totally different instrument. I've also got a Shecter Hellcat baritone, one of the new Fender Electric XII's, a Bigsby Tele I built, Fernandes MY-115, Squier Contemporary Strat tuned to C for heavier stuff, Fender JP-90 and a Fender Newporter too! Mine's in ocean turquoise.

Then there's my girlfriend's guitars...

I’ve almost bought that J Mascis a few times...

Apologies if I'm talking too much.

I found a broken 1975 D35 in a pawn shop for $299.






Lifting bridge, 4 braces missing or cracked, about 6 cracks in the top you could shine a light through, binding missing, the back was hanging off.



I took it in for a neck reset for $800 and had the cracks seen to as well and reglued the bridge and replaced the binding, then I dressed the frets. New nut, new bridge pins, new saddle. It came out pretty sweet. I sold it for $1600 then bought the Larrivee.

That was a fun restoration project and I came out pretty well.

It’s an insane guitar for the price. The pickups/electronics could use a swap but that’s all I’d do to it. The neck is so nice, just a touch wider at the nut then usual strats/JMs which helps my rather huge hands.

 

[DGWVI]

Except for the Squier VI and the body on the Jazz bass in the back, I've built all of these. They've all got 30.3" scale lengths, tuned down to Drop A. The white one on the right gets the most attention by far

 

[BurntFingers]

Is that a Randall commander over there?

That RD shape looks awesome in natural finish. Bravo.

Here is my Strat Elite.

 

[chongmagic]

P90 Telecaster

 

[chongmagic]

Strat Plus with Lace Pickups, John Fogerty signed it on the tremolo cover.

 

[chongmagic]

Partscaster I built. Has Bootstrap pickups in it.

 

[chongmagic]

J Mascis, replaced the nut and bridge and tremolo.
