Any Guitar collectors here?

[YY1]

I'm up to six electrics, two acoustics including a Stratacoustic, and two SDGR basses.

The closest things I have to "collectible" are a 1977 Matsumoku, a Goth issue Epiphone flying V that is fairly limited production (and not shown on the Gibson/Epiphone site), and a 1986 Charvel strat that has a significantly lower serial number than any registered on the MIJ Charvel site.

The ones that got away was a 1966 Gibson V that I almost bought for $500 at a pawn shop in 1986, and a 1974 SG that was a lefty but strung right in 1990 for $300.

I also have a 1968 hot rodded fender twin, and a 1984 Marshall 75 watt combo with incredible sustain. Thank you to "Linda" who left her sticker on the circuit board she assembled.

I'm a "mediocre" guitarist, but I play my guitars and drive my cars....as God and nature intended!

Forgot I just picked up a $5 thrift store "Randy Jackson" style guitar as a test subject to practice mounting a $20 ebay Ibanez Floyd Rose trem.

If that works I think it will go on a $100 Epi SG that I keep picking up if I'm not playing my Schecter Sunset.

I have around 30 Charvels. I have one Charvel Refinement I picked up out of Japan and have yet to see another like it.
Here is a pic of a model 4 I stripped and did a crackle finish on this last summer.

Me and my two boys formed a band and have a gig tomorrow night.

Had a 68 Melody Maker, like a bare bones SG, no ivory binding, 1/2 pick guard, stock Humbuck in neck & a hot DiMarzio Humbuck in bridge with a switch/circuit to cancel one bank & make it a single coil. Fastest neck of ANY guitar, SG or otherwise. One of my fuckups in drinking days, lost it in a blackout episode in 91. Took another year of ******* up before I quit July 92.
Today I have an 87 Fender Squire ll Strat(Samick mfg. Korea)bought as NOS in 92, a VERY slim maple neck/fingerboard. In 98 I had Seymour Rails installed, Cool neck, Cool mid, Hot bridge & an overdrive volume pot.
2004 I bought new a Greg Bennett design, Samick(Korea)Avion, Les Paul copy with Seymour Humbucks, then I put a D'Armond reissue gold tone Humbuck(jazz popular pu) in neck & slid the Seymour neck into the bridge.
Push pull volume pots to go between series & parallel wiring on PU banks & a push pull pot on the bridge tone so I can cancel a bank on bridge pu & make it a single coil.
The Avion is a beautifully crafted ax, mahogany archtop with a flame maple cap.

This woman is on trial for beating her husband to death with his guitar collection.

The judge says, "First offender?"

She says, "No, first a Gibson, then a Fender!"

Is that Rick Springfield in the background? LOL

 

[Slap Stick]

Is that Jesse's girl in the striped suit?
Only guitar I own is an Air guitar. Only song I kno2 on a real guitar is "Breakout". Its popular in prisons.

 

[Lets Roll]

All I could find was band pics from 20 or so years ago.
I still have the Les paul and the 7 string Dano.

You stranglin' that Strat JLR!
I'm taking a wild guess what's on the floor....a Boss SD-1 Overdrive? Two Ibanez Tube Screamers? A Dunlop Wah?
Hopefully I got at least one correct. On my phone screen.

You actually nailed it !
Only thing you can't see is the in line Fender tuner....!
I run 3 over drives for various levels of drive.....
I love fast women, fast cars, and guitars that stay in tune!
Oh....and whiskey. ...I love whiskey!

Edit: the wha is a Vox.....
I'm running a combination of a Fender Twin and a Blues Jr stacked....more Jr than Twin. A small amp cranked up is always better than a big amp down low.....
