Guitars anyone???

Haha where do I start?

I recommend spaying/neutering your Gretsch guitars, folks. Don’t be like me. The Sweetwater Stork informed me today that I should be expecting a new arrival this week:

@xtcclassic That looks amazing. I played a Gretsch G6122T-62 Chet Atkins once but man they're just so damn big. Same goes for the ES-335. Telecasters are the one for comfort IMO (regardless of your opinion of Fender!)

Oh I’m a longtime Tele player, if I could only have one guitar it would be a Tele. This Gretsch thing is a fairly new thing to me. I bought my first one less than a year ago. I’ve had my Tele for 20 years or so.

@xtcclassic Never saw the update post mods.

How you getting on with it? I am looking for a new telecaster atm..

[xtcclassic]

Since that pic was taken, I’ve replaced the pickups with TV Jones (Setzer bridge and Classic neck) and replaced the stock bridge with a stainless steel Tru-Arc. It sounds absolutely amazing now, it’s tied with my Tele as my number one. Never thought I’d see that happen. Here it is now:

Lovely job!

The Dr will see you now!

Just got this elusive reverb pedal for a bit of a steal thanks to good old eBay.
Has 16 algorithms and a tonne of modulation options. It even has the flappy bird game installed on it!
weird.

I accidentally bought 2 guitars off eBay the other day…  ::)
Hopefully, @AdamJ will buy one off me (no pressure) so I don't feel so stupid. Pics will follow but they're just a couple of Squire Telecasters as I'm looking to get back into playing and didn't want to go crazy. Plus I planning up upgrading the pickups and electronics. That is all.

[xtcclassic]

The only thing better than a Telecaster is another Telecaster. 

[Steve]

how did you accidently buy two @Sam ?

[AdamJ]

[Giles]

Because he is Sam?

Or possibly for the same reason as I often accidentally buy fishing tackle….

Have been playing a Taylor acoustic for quite some time, but recently made the switch to a Fender Performer HSS Strat. Can't ask for more! I'm loving the buttery smooth playability after having played acoustic for a long time!

Anyone got a mustang or jazzmaster? I am on the fence about which to get  :-\

[louisbosco]

got neither. but you should look at a PRS silver sky

[AdamJ]

not paying 2 grand to be in the john mayer fan club

edit: i have played one, and they're fucking fantastic but, $$$$$

[louisbosco]

hahaha.  they do sound good don't they. a pity i've moved over to bass now. wouldn't mind a martin and co acoutic though but they're expensive.

I don’t own either but I worked in guitar stores for 18 years so I’m plenty familiar with both, and I prefer the Jazzmaster for the regular Fender scale length and IMO it has a more distinctive tone. Depends on what you’re after sound-wise.
