Guitars anyone???

[VoodooRay]

@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..

[SKT]

@chillmonroe enjoyed your picking and singing in this tune. The Henderson sounds great, I can see why you regret parting with it

[SKT]

@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?

I know relic rigs are divisive and I fully understand why. That said, this one spoke to me. I am excited to let the indigo from my clothing bleed on to it while playing as well.

@derek111 nothing beats the aged/darkened wood on a tele headstock, makes the new ones seem shit in comparison!

My great-grandfathers 1931 Martin C-1.
My most cherished family heirloom!

Woah- i know it's not a martin (his was early gibson maybe?) but that guitar looks awfully familiar.....

@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.

[SKT]

@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)

[americanathreads]

@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.

My ‘94 McCarty. I bought it new.

@SFMCfranky Always wanted one of these

@SourPower that is beautiful! What a wonderful family heirloom

@Beerhammer had a nice Ron Kirn signature custom Jazzmaster at one point in time, down to just two guitars now a days.

This is my main currently. 2006 MiM Thinline. All new electronics done by me some time ago— Seymour Duncan pickup set, new pots for volume and tone (split pot), black pickguard instead of the original white pearloid style, full contact input jack. Had to route the body cavity about 3/8” deeper as the ‘59 humbucker in the neck was too tall (has some stupidly tall legs on the mounting bracket for some reason.

Love this thing— it’s a Telecaster purist’s worst nightmare, and a dream for me (for playing in a very loud very chaotic screamo band)
