I'd rather have Jimmy page's les paul.

very rarely an object can actually have a soul...

Unlike J Leno, there are hundreds of car collections (a dozen cars or more) that are never driven. The more expensive the car the less chance of being driven.

Who paid $4 million for the Black Strat? The lead guitar in a garage band? No, it was someone(s) with big bucks who probably doesn't even play. It's a museum piece now and I'll bet the insurance company covering it has all sorts of rules too.

Joe Walsh sold Page that guitar.

Just learnt that a few weeks ago.

Fender & Telecaster...

Whoa, put that away before you wake the Rooster...

Bass-ic getting around can be a problem...

That is going to end badly.

You can imagine how difficult it must be to signal a turn.

That bike is a fixie, as in fixed gear ratio and no brakes. That fiddle is a goner.

Prolly one o'them hipster doofuses ya hear about...

What a difference a couple hundred years make...

Couple more...

This gold one looks like the oval head screws have been in and out a number of times.

Mr. Clod and I were debating last night about the various modifications on this guy's acoustic/electric hybrid. Dude's cool.

I don't see any modifications. Tuning the guitar while playing it is impressive. He's got that pick up turned up to 11 so his thumb smacking it is percussive. I wonder if he's got something under his heel that is adding to that, but we don't see his feet. Nice find though. I enjoyed it

I spent part of last week in Maine with some of my favorite people on this planet. He has also been bitten by the guitar build and repair bug.

MMMM, guitar room.


Haven't figured out which room in the new house will be decorated with them yet....

Which room? How are you going to get the bazillion guitars you're going to build in one room?

Show room, work room, storage room, practice room...

I think you're on to it. Guitars in use in the living room, in process out in the shop, storage in the 3rd bedroom, display throughout

you'll need some bongos or congas or a cajon as well. let the people percuss with you

I was looking at cajons today as a gift for ElderSon

I've got a Conga Drum and a couple smallish drums laying about

Yikes stripes...

That's tasty. Looks like you should wear a tuxedo when you play it.

reminds me of Sonor's "Stratawood"

Bass...

Not sure if they are technically guitars, but very interesting

I think they qualify.

Gonna need my...

to customize my axe...

Attachment 68449

Hendrix? Prince maybe...

Probably more to do with the wiring than the color.

I used the Hendrix wiring schematic for my first guitar. 3 position switch with the middle tone knob used to blend the middle pickup in and out.

Might have the tuner pegs on the opposite side too, but the picture doesn't show that.

You're right, comes in a slew of colors.

I keep stumbling on these odd ones...

Couple more, the blue Ash Strat is interesting because you can see exactly how it's shaped.

This guy has an almost famous name going for him...

Attachment 68485

I like that blue. I'm not sure about that pick guard though.

That pick guard...

Is that a mirror?

I am not windexing my gear dammit.

Looks like it.

From the inside...

That was cool. Thanks

Yes it is very Cool.

A wild one...

Vintage movie poster pickguards would be cool, too.

I like that and it seems like an easy upgrade.

With a tittle like this it sounds like it qualifies for AKC, Jockey Club or The Roll of Peerage. :rolleyes:

I think it looks tacky. Not a pick guard buff, though. I like the small ones like on a les Paul or none like a PRS.

Smells like Teen Ghetto...

And the winner was(2017)...

FWIW...

I'm presently watching 'Billy Connolly's Great American Trail' on TV.

The second episode of three was on a couple of days ago in which he visited the Martin Guitar factory in Nazareth PA.

Might be of interest to the guitar aficionados among you if it's shown in the US.

Not the episode in question, but it should give you a flavour of the series...

This baby has a lot of miles on her...

People be intentionally distressing guitars, I thought I saw that here?

Yes but the strap and wear on the headstock looks like mileage. If it's faked they did a good job.

it's faked. look at the finger board. the frets stand out like a sore thumb. The inlay dots are crystal clean white, they'd be yellowed....Even if it had been re-fretted, you'd see some scalloping on the fingerboard if it was actually as well used as it tries to appear. I think it's gay. They do all kinds of stupid shit to make guitars look well played. Including corroding screw heads and tarnishing hardware. I wonder if they also rip holes in the knees of their blue jeans.

Should have used an Yngwie Malmsteen fretboard. weedle deedle deelde dEEeeEEeeEEeeEEee

Why, it can't make the guitar more valuable, does it give the player creds?

Basics...

Pick three and it's money for nothing and sex or free.*

Attachment 68869

* I know it was "chicks for free" but that would be sexist and exclusionary by precluding the possibility of female guitar players on MTV.

I don't think it adds value... But then value is determined by how much any buyer is willing to pay. I guess the idea is to give the false impression that you've been playing so many shows or hours that you've worn out your guitar. I think it's dishonest. Does a tattoo make you tougher? Or just look tough?
