@Giles said in Guitars anyone???:

@Freeman Here's another

With a price tag to match the rarity…

[Karol]

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

@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!

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.

And in terms of acoustic - I went slimmer and lightest

Fender and Wrangler have collaborated on a denim guitar case.

Along with a series of straps.

More details at Music Radar, and the case and straps are available from Fender.

@Karol Cool, always wanted to try a guitar with true temperament frets.

[Karol]

@JunkPants
I can highly recommend it! The feeling has not changed at all compared to normal frets and the improvement in tuning evenness is substantial. Harmonics are finally in the same spot and sound the same as the fretted note.
And since those are stainless steel frets there should be no need to work on those exotic ones anytime soon.

[JunkPants]

@Karol Nice! Yeah, I need to get my hands (and ears) on one at some point.

Had to post this for the guitar players.

I might’ve just acquired us an Iron Heart HQ party guitar @AdamJ

[Raw]

I bought this one a couple of years ago Vox - IH collaboration

[SKT]

@SamD this sounds like a necessity and a good idea
