Guitars anyone???
-
@popvulture It’s a Custom Shop Nocaster blackguard - it’s pretty gnarly!
-
@jeffgrantMEDIA hell yeah I’ll follow you back. Guitar playing denim heads unite
But for sure, vintage guitars are pricy but as long as you have a handle on the current market value and buy at or under it you won’t get hurt. And there’s also the potential to flip and make a few bucks to fund more IH stuff
-
@chillmonroe I need to sell off my 78 Deluxe, pay off some bills and get a few new IH pieces! haha

Just repaired a crack in the back of my 1934 Jumbo. First time ever attempting something like this.
Got some guidance from my luthier buddy. Humidified it to close it up a bit for a couple weeks, then pushed on it to open it up just ever so slightly. Injected it with a super specific type of super glue, waited like 10 seconds and went at it with some shell wool followed by a buffing cloth.
Here’s the before and after pics. I knew it was there and I still can’t find it in the after. The pucker factor in this was real and I’m super stoked on the result 🤌🤌

Oh and here’s the guitar
-
Just got this in this morning. Wow, this one is very, very good.
(I've become a bit of an ES style convert in recent years. Played super strats for a long time, then Les Pauls for many years. Just getting old I suppose
)

Here’s my beloved custom shop 1950s thinline telecaster/nocaster. Any tele fans will know that fender didn’t make thinline teles in the 50s but this one was imagined as what they would have made if they were doing thinlines in the 50s.. I don’t get to play it much these days, because I have kids.
-
@VoodooRay such a cool guitar. I have always wanted a thinline Tele. Is it pretty light?
-
@VoodooRay here all day for telecasters

Throwback to a few years ago during Covid lockdown, stuck in a car with my guitar while my wife was at an ultrasound appt for our son. Appropriate time to sing the blues right
Guitar is a Wayne Henderson D18 that I regrettably sold years later to fund preschool tuition. Dad life.

This is a borrowed Epi. I only played about 6 songs with my friend's band a few weeks back. But I have a Gibson Cherry 335. I've owned that for 15-20 years now. Love it. I mainly noodle on my Taylor these days, but I had a problem for MANY years.
-
@JunkPants I have always wanted one of these. By far the nicest looking 335 they make. Bet it is a dream to play!
-
@SKT said in Guitars anyone???:
@JunkPants gorgeous man, love the maple
Thanks!

Thank you! Not to fuel the GAS too bad, but, yes, it really is!

I found a shot of my ES-335 in a text chain trying to convince a friend he needed one for himself.... a different friend who owns the Epi I was playing above, but they are both in the same band.
-
@SKT i never thought about it as being particularly light.. I used to play an SG that was lighter. It’s a while since I’ve held one but I’d say it’s similar enough to a strat weight wise.. maybe.
-
Here’s my other guitars that I rarely get to play anymore.. epiphone sheraton, got this about 20 years ago and a lyon & healy parlour guitar from the 1920s.. this little guitar has a massive sound..
-
@chillmonroe enjoyed your picking and singing in this tune. The Henderson sounds great, I can see why you regret parting with it
-
@VoodooRay couple more beauties. I’m really drawn to the parlor. Is that a mahogany top? I’ve always loved the dry response of hog topped guitars
