Guitars anyone???

@George-Homme Very cool!
-
@George-Homme When I was a kid I went to an event called Gretsch Guitarama and it was at this event that they first introduced the White Falcon. The Searchers were the band that they were sponsoring for the event as they played all Gretsch gear. Just curious, what kind of music will you be playing on it?
-
@Jett129 what year that was?
I will play rockabilly and rock in general.
-
@George-Homme It had to be 1966,and I thought they were introducing the White Falcon,but upon googling it,I learned that it was first released in 1954. Maybe it was the fact that it had stereo capabilities.
-
@Jett129 wanna see something interyabout falcon stereo capabilities?

Anyone here a Suhr guitar fan? I've played Strats and Teles for years and lately have been leaning heavily into strats, and I have a guy locally wanting to trade a Suhr Classic Pro for my 1964 Bassman head and matching cab that I've got. Good deal?

@IH-GARY said in Guitars anyone???:
This went up on YouTube today, one for the Johnny Marr & guitar nerd fans!
Love his '60 Gibson ES-355, makes me glad to have a '59! I'll never be able to make it sing like him, though!

I've been playing professionally for 40 years and just recently retired from gigging. You name the guitar, I've owned it at one point. Here are just a few
-
@edgarallanpoe I played drums all my life,but pretty much always in guitar based rock bands. Didn’t see any Gretsch,or Rickenbacker guitars. Where are you located?
-
@edgarallanpoe awesome. What's your favourite?
-
@AdamJ my favorite guitars are my custom ones built for me by Nik Huber. I have 4, a Dolphin II in Korina with brazilian rosewood fretboard. If it isn't the first one in korina he made it's damn close. The other is a Redwood Dolphin..it's a hollow korina body with a one piece redwood top, braz board. A dolphin Jr in korina with braz board and an Orca (LP style) with korina body, eastern maple top and braz board.
His guitars just speak to me and have since the first time I played them at NAMM in the early 2000's.

@edgarallanpoe That's awesome man. After 40 years I bet you're some player. Good to have you here

@Jett129 located in Pittsburgh, Pa USA. I've owned Rics and Gretsch guitars in years past. I had a really cool Elliot Easton model Gretsch for a long time that I loved, the Ric I had was a great guitar but was better suited for other players. It sounded awesome but I just couldn't get it to work for me...no idea why.
I also have a Collings acoustic that I've never seen anywhere else. It's supposedly a D2G which is their version of the Martin Drednought, the G in the name stands for a German Spruce top. But what makes this D2G different is that it has their "mom" inlay which is an elaborate scroll, engraved Waverly tuners, and a Brazilian Rosewood back and sides. It might be the only one of its kind, but that is just speculation.
-
@edgarallanpoe I thought I saw a Collings in one of your pics. So D2 but no herringbone trim? I’d love to see a pic of the back if you get around to it. Do you know the grade of Brazilian? Very special guitar for sure.
-
No idea of the grade. I found some other pics of it. But nothing of the back, here is the trim, inlay, and engraved tuners.
-
@edgarallanpoe beautiful. Bet it sounds amazing

Since I don’t belong to a Les Paul forum, I’ll post this tidbit here because I’m dying to tell someone. A little birdie has told me that a dead mint, practically unplayed, one-owner 1959 burst has just surfaced. Not documented in any of the Burst books, this is one of those that was unaccounted for that everyone fantasized about maybe still being out there somewhere in somebody’s closet. Mint case and hang tags even. Absolutely flawless. Keep an eye on Slash, Joe Walsh, and Joe Bonamassa, one of them is about to add this guitar to their collection for a measley $600,000. I’m sure there will be a few magazine articles coming out in the near future about it once the dust settles.
