    Here’s my old stick that I got for my 18th birthday, some time ago…

      [mention]LewisStonehouse [/mention] what’s the story of that guitar? I’ve never heard of the brand. But it looks cool. What’s it made out of?

        @Fadez it’s a Vigier Excalibur Supra, alder body, maple neck, rosewood fretboard, dimarzio pickups. Small boutique company in France. Interesting thing is that it doesn’t have a truss rod, instead they have a strip of carbon through the neck. I’ve never had a setup and the intonation and action is still spot on

          @LewisStonehouse Very cool guitar!  Love the incorporated carbon truss rod. Sounds like it’s effective as well.  So nice!

              I’m sticking with the acoustics for this next one. This is my 1971 Martin D-18, almost nothing original [emoji23]. I had always wanted a prewar Martin D-18. Could not afford a prewar Martin D-18. Wife would divorce me if I bought a prewar Martin D-18. So, I bought a beat up 1971 (birth year) D-18 on eBay and sent it to a luthier who specializes in rehabbing old Martins. Lots of 70’s Martins have problems with intonation because they made so many during the folk boom that Martin got sloppy with the placement of the bridges. This one was no different and it needed lots of other work:

              Replaced bridge and corrected position
              New saddle with 2 1/4 string spacing
              New bridge plate
              Neck reset
              New frets
              Re-glued binding in a few spots
              2 repaired cracks
              Lightly scalloped the braces
              New Waverly tuners
              K&K Western Mini pickup
              Replaced pick guard

              It was a fun guitar adventure and I ended up really loving this “Frankenstein” dreadnaught.
              The slight scalloping really helped the trebles.

                My 1978 left handed Fender Telecaster.
                It started life with an off white body but when that started to wear I took it down to the varnish underneath.

                  @Pufton Very cool guitar!  Looks a lot like a butterscotch blonde tele now (except for the pickguard).  Really beautiful

                    Thank you.
                    It’s been with me a long time. I am the original owner.
                    It doesn’t get much use these days.
                    I bought this as a player.

                    It’s a 2013 MIM.
                    Always loved the sound of the tremolo on the Stratocaster.

                      I love white Strats with rosewood fretboards. Is that Olympic white?  So nice

                        @Pufton nice dude, a ‘scotch tele has always been a desire for me, always liked the look of the suhr classic t. Unfortunately these days playing’s more of a hobby so have never had the justification to buy more guitars. Sold my mesa mkivs and rack a few years ago, think I’ll always regret that shit!

                          I think it is Olympic white.
                          Always wanted one since I saw a photo of Alex Chilton with one and realised that was the sound of Radio City.

                            It (the Telecaster) was one of the only things to come through a divorce.
                            Never could or would part with it.
                            I sold other stuff - mainly vinyl - which I now regret….

                                @Pufton @LewisStonehouse  All the talk of Big Star and white strats and butterscotch blonde teles got me excited and then I forgot to post my pics.  This is my ‘52 Tele Reissue from ‘94. It is nowhere as cool as @xtcclassic  It is clean…too clean. But it was my first nice guitar and I’ve babied it. I absolutely love telecasters.

                                        Agreed.

                                        Here’s one of my basses.
                                        I think it’s a 2004. Could be 2005.

                                        I’ve kept this one all original.
