Guitars anyone???

I guess pics will have to come later, but I'll just list some gear for now:
Guitars:
1959 Gibson ES-355 (Cherry)
2004 Fender Telecaster Deluxe (Cherry burst, converted to esquire with Peter Florance Voodoo TE59 in bridge)
2006 Fender USA Telecaster (Sunburst)
2015 Fender American Standard Stratocaster (White w/ mint pickguard)Guitar amps:
1954 Gibson GA-75
1960's Silvertone 1481
1978 Fender Deluxe ReverbBasses:
1975 Gibson Grabber (Natural)
1979 Gibson G-3 Grabber (Sunburst)
2002 Fener Mark Hoppus Precision (Seafoam)Bass Amps:
Orange AD200B
Orange 115
1962 Ampeg B-15nEffects:
Big Board- Guitar > Dunlop Volume X (ST-300 Mini out) > JHS Morning Glory > JHS Superbolt > Sovtek Tall Font Russian Muff > Strymon El Capistan > Strymon Blue Sky > AmpSmall Board- Guitar > Sonic Research ST-300 Mini > Ceriatone Centura > Strymon Flint > Amp
Bass is just plugged into the ST-300 and then into the amp. No frill, no fuss.
This list would have been drastically different pre-covid. Gotta pay those bills, though.

@chrisjohnnick Reissues? Real deal? Really intrigued and would love to see pictures!

All original. No reissues. The '59 was purchased by my great granddad in January 1960. Have the original receipt.
Everything else I acquired over the years. I used to sell and trade records a lotttt as well as hifi stereo and music gear, so much of this I got in trades and such.
I've had lots of other gear, but in the last year really pared everything down to just the essentials.
Also, I'm always down to trade gear for IH stuff! Except for the '59 and the B-15.

Yeah I’m gonna need to see a pic of the 355 @chrisjohnnick
Sounds like my mom’s old guitar, she had a 59 or 60 I think. -

Have the pickguard taken off and in the case. Here's the receipt:

Nice, that's some history you've got here ???
-
@chrisjohnnick wow. just wow. $358.20
-
Nice! My mom had the stereo version.

Excellent posts lately!^
Here's a gigging pedalboard I put together so I don't have to lug around my huge boards. It's not tiny but it's much more maneuverable than my other monster boards. This is 24"x12" compared to the big 36"x18". This way I can just leave the huge boards where they are: One at home and one at the basement dungeon.
I really like how this turned out. Home testing is done and sounds great. It's ready for a rehearsal on Sat.
It's got all my essentials: loop switchers for front of amp and effects loop, Sennheiser wireless, Digitech Drop, wah, overdrive, boost, volume boost, volume, delay, reverb, noise reduction. Plus a few wildcards: ricochet, flanger, chorus, tremelo.

Very nice @daltmeyer ! I like the DIY touch of your pedalboard.
I always wondered, how do you manage all of this live ?
I program my sounds in my multi fx (helix FX) which controls my amp (Mesa JP2C) via MIDI, so I can load any sound with one click. And I still sometimes miss the right switch live. I would be lost with such a board

My pedalboards have been changing every couple months or so for the last year, but here's where they sit now:
Big guitar board:
Small guitar board:
Bass pedalboard:

Had a loaded up PT-2 that I used for a long time, but just realized I didn't need it all. Took off EVERYTHING and slowly started putting things back as I needed them. I've been using the smaller guitar board for almost everything lately. Really like the simplicity of it with an Esquire and a Deluxe Reverb.
I could probably take off the Morning Glory and the volume pedal from the big board and be good there, and maybe replace the El Cap with a Timeline. I have drawers full of pedals I need to sell still..

@chrisjohnnick I love your tuner label!!

Nice! My mom had the stereo version.
Awesome! I sadly don't have any pics of my Grandfather or Great Grandfather playing the 355, but I do have pics of them playing many others.

@NorK I would never step on a stage until I've mastered it.
I can't deal with midi or menus much anymore. Although I used to use my Line 6 Vetta II HD for practice, rehearsal, and live. Thing is I forgot how to operate it! Haha. I need to download a manual.
With my board the 2 true bypass looper switches are labeled with the effects in that loop. The switcher on the left is for the amps effect loop effects. The switcher on the right is for front of amp effects. So I can turn the individual pedals on or off at my leisure to have them ready and then just hit one switch on my switcher to engage.
There's 5 loops in front of amp, and 2 loops for the amp effects loop. These switchers are the key to operating my boards successfully.
My eyes just glazed over trying to explain it. I feel sorry for anyone trying to read it.
