    @LewisStonehouse Very cool guitar!  Love the incorporated carbon truss rod. Sounds like it’s effective as well.  So nice!

      @SKT it’s served me well over the years

        I’m sticking with the acoustics for this next one. This is my 1971 Martin D-18, almost nothing original [emoji23]. I had always wanted a prewar Martin D-18. Could not afford a prewar Martin D-18. Wife would divorce me if I bought a prewar Martin D-18. So, I bought a beat up 1971 (birth year) D-18 on eBay and sent it to a luthier who specializes in rehabbing old Martins. Lots of 70’s Martins have problems with intonation because they made so many during the folk boom that Martin got sloppy with the placement of the bridges. This one was no different and it needed lots of other work:

        Replaced bridge and corrected position
        New saddle with 2 1/4 string spacing
        New bridge plate
        Neck reset
        New frets
        Re-glued binding in a few spots
        2 repaired cracks
        Lightly scalloped the braces
        New Waverly tuners
        K&K Western Mini pickup
        Replaced pick guard

        It was a fun guitar adventure and I ended up really loving this “Frankenstein” dreadnaught.
        The slight scalloping really helped the trebles.

          My 1978 left handed Fender Telecaster.
          It started life with an off white body but when that started to wear I took it down to the varnish underneath.

            @Pufton Very cool guitar!  Looks a lot like a butterscotch blonde tele now (except for the pickguard).  Really beautiful

              Thank you.
              It’s been with me a long time. I am the original owner.
              It doesn’t get much use these days.
              I bought this as a player.

              It’s a 2013 MIM.
              Always loved the sound of the tremolo on the Stratocaster.

                I love white Strats with rosewood fretboards. Is that Olympic white?  So nice

                  @Pufton nice dude, a ‘scotch tele has always been a desire for me, always liked the look of the suhr classic t. Unfortunately these days playing’s more of a hobby so have never had the justification to buy more guitars. Sold my mesa mkivs and rack a few years ago, think I’ll always regret that shit!

                    I think it is Olympic white.
                    Always wanted one since I saw a photo of Alex Chilton with one and realised that was the sound of Radio City.

                      It (the Telecaster) was one of the only things to come through a divorce.
                      Never could or would part with it.
                      I sold other stuff - mainly vinyl - which I now regret….

                          @Pufton @LewisStonehouse  All the talk of Big Star and white strats and butterscotch blonde teles got me excited and then I forgot to post my pics.  This is my ‘52 Tele Reissue from ‘94. It is nowhere as cool as @xtcclassic  It is clean…too clean. But it was my first nice guitar and I’ve babied it. I absolutely love telecasters.

                                  Agreed.

                                  Here’s one of my basses.
                                  I think it’s a 2004. Could be 2005.

                                  I’ve kept this one all original.

                                      @Pufton That’s a great looking bass. I had a sunburst jazz bass like that and sold it. Wish I still had it. Love the blue on yours.

                                      @Jett129 Thanks for posting that clip.  That guitar made me feel funny and get a bit light headed. So cool. Living breathing piece of art.

                                        Yes, thanks for posting @Jett129 .I think  Springsteens later work say  The Ghost of Tom Joad is better than the hits.  his good fortune he escaped the early death of so many other people - I'm listening to Lowell George - but look who I'm talking to about that.  ??? ??? like your photos of the beach too.

                                        Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…

                                          Even though I played drums all my life,I’ve always loved guitars,and been in guitar based bands. It was always a big deal when someone in the band got a new cool guitar. Was a big fan of Little Feat @steelworker, saw them a few times at The Beacon in NYC. Nice to hear you’re enjoying my photography. Thanks!
