Guitars anyone???

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!

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

Finally picked this up this year. It's a murphy lab R0, but I got a really good deal on it (around $3000.00 USD) from my local guitar center. First thing I did when I got it home was took some sandpaper to the back of the neck to make it feel more like a natural maple neck. Then swapped out the volume and tone knobs since I much prefer the gold top-hat look of the 59's. The pickups, however, in these historic re-issues are lots of fun...perhaps a little too much fun for my neighbors.......or my wife..

Getting back into guitar after 10 years or so of not playing.
Trying to catch up with all the new gear. Got myself an axe coming next week and have ordered a a usb audio interface and midi keyboaard to get into the computer shiz, programming drums etc rather than just playing through an amp.
I have just discovered amp plugins / simulators and wondering if anyone has any recommendations for metal? Thinking Neural DSP / Mixwave, Amplitube, Amphub?

@Graham For modeling, folks seem to like Fractal quite a bit (e.g. FM9, FM3). I'm a Kemper person myself. You might go down the rabbit hole on The Gear Page/modeling forum ... so many options: https://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?forums/digital-modeling-gear.53/

Only just now discovering the guitar thread! This is awesome. Some beautiful guitars in this community. Figured I'd throw one of my favourites on to this thread. It's a Pre-War Guitars Co. Model D. If you haven't come across PW they starting making new guitars to try and closely replicate the experience of an actual pre-war Martin, Gibson, while including some modern additions like a truss rod etc. I got mine in 2021 after waiting around 20 months to get it. It's a lightweight, loud, and punchy guitar, absolutely love it.
-
@americanathreads I have loved those Pre War Guitars from afar and have never had the chance to play one. Looks really nice. Love the pedalboard though too. Need some more details on it if you get time (I have a Flint and love it)
-
@SKT If you get the chance to check one out, do! I played one of the brazilian rosewood OMs at the IBMA festival a couple of years ago and it was incredible. For sure! The large white pedal is a Milkman "The Amp". It's great - it's a fully functional amp with a headphone jack. I live in an apartment so most electric playing needs to go through headphones. Then I have the Ariel Posen Broadcast (mainly use as clean boost, but is great as a fuzzy OD as well). Vemuram Jan Ray Overdrive, which is a really great sounding pedal. Then a MIJ Tubescreamer TS10 (big fan of John Mayer's playing, he's used them for a long time). Then Way Huge Aqua Puss analog delay, Strymon Dig, and the Flint. Agree the Flint is great. Seems to be a very widely used reverb.
