Guitars anyone???

nice

[SKT]

@SamD yeeessss. Treasure trove. Love that deluxe tele, the steel, the junior…all of it!

[SKT]

@SamD whats the little guitar upper right?

[SamD]

@SKT it’s a Martin LXK2 travel acoustic, lives at the end of the sofa along with the black Tele, so probably gets played the most out of all of these!

[SamD]

From Top to bottom, R-L:

• Taylor GS Mini E Koa
• Martin LXK2
• Epiphone Joe Pass Emperor II
• ‘96 Gibson Les Paul Special (P90s)
• Gretsch 9202 Honey Dipper Resonator
• Freshman F400GA (Rosewood)
• Fender 2010 Roadworn Player Tele
• Fender Deluxe Nashville Tele
• Fender American Vintage Tele Deluxe
• ‘97 Gibson Les Paul Studio (which I’ve had since I was 17!)

Nothing super expensive or rare, but all great guitars which each offer something a bit different

[SKT]

Just great stuff. I’ve wanted a GS mini for some time. A buddy of mine has a mahogany one that I love.

Nice one! @Freeman is endorsed by Fender these days so I'm expecting to see big things from his collection at some point

[Freeman]

Big fan of those tele's.
Here's my little fender collection, which I will be hopefully adding to in the not too distant future.

[Freeman]

Not a Fender. But this is my pride and joy.

First Act Sheena Custom Shop

Took me about 8 years to track one down.

@Giles said in Guitars anyone???:

@Freeman Here's another

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/282148207608

With a price tag to match the rarity…

So many beautiful specimens here. I’m so happy to see that IH crowd knows how to rock, swing and groove!
Here are some of mine’s

[SKT]

@Karol awesome stuff! I had a nylon string that I traded years ago and I always wish I’d kept it.

@Freeman love your collection…it’s right up my alley. Is the tele on the left a thinline? I’ve always wanted one. And is the humbucker in the middle tele an aftermarket mod? White strat lovely stuff!

@SKT the classic one is my first serious instrument after years of playing some crappy, always-out-of-tune-in-some-position guitars.
But as the years gone by I went smaller and smaller in size and weight (with exception of Pat Metheny Ibanez) finally arriving at Strandberg. Nowadays almost every manufacturer has a headless guitar in their lineup but back then Ola Strandberg (out of Uppsala, not far north from Stockholm) was the only one that really did serious research about ergonomic guitar design in Europe.

There are so many things that Ola did differently, from the neck shape to different use of carbon in the tension management, his proprietary hardware…
But one of the most important for me was introduction of True Temperament frets and tuning system invented by late Swedish inventor and guitarist Anders Thidell to even out the intervals on the guitar and make the tuning more consistent across the entire neck. https://truetemperament.com/
I will get some pictures of it on Monday.

For the record I should mention Steve Klein who was the OG of headless but I had no way to get my hands on his stuff - https://kleinsbench.com/

Very nice!

[JunkPants]

Just got this the other day, D-18 Ambertone. Sounds great!

[SKT]

@JunkPants beautiful guitar. I am very fond of d-18’s and have one myself

[JunkPants]

@SKT Thanks. Hard to go wrong with a D-18, it's a classic for a reason. I had another one previously (standard finish), good to be back.

I finally took the picture of True Temperament frets Strandberg.
