MR

I noticed that a few forum members started posting their guitar pics on a thread that was a topic about the forum getting a new moderator, so I figured it was time to start a Muisical Gear Photo thread. It goes without saying that there are probably a lot of musicians on a Journey forum, especially the one at MelodicRock.com. I'll start by posting a few pics of my basement studio:





Here's a few pics of my Moser Custom Van Halen Logo guitar (one of three made):





Here's a pic of my Jackson USA DK1:



Feel free to post your musical gear pics here, even if you posted them on another thread. Looking forward to seeing your collections!

Also, feel free to post photos of your band playing live gigs. Here's one of mine (I'm on drums):

Voyager,

Great looking room. I'm not a musician at all. I enjoy hearing my friends that play. I never had any musical ablilty. Ever play with Apple's GarageBand software?

No, I haven't Dcvader. I have been using Pro Tools recording software for the past three years. It seems to do just about everything I need it to.

Maybe we can even get JSS to post some pics of his gear and/or some live gig pics from his numerous bands?

Voyager, can I move in with you? I'll sleep in the corner.

I'm with NIG,, let us move in!!!

I think Voyager needs to invite us all over for a party this summer, where we can get drunk and jam all night long,,,

I've got just the party in mind if you guys want to drive to Springfield, Illinois in August. We play a huge party at Lake Springfield that draws about 2,000 to 3,000 people. It's one hell of a party. I'll buy drinks!

I live about 4 hours east of Chicago,, so I shouldnt be that far away from Springfield:)
But I was thinking a party for the MR people, in your basement buddy !!

Nice toys, Voyager.

I'm impressed and jealous.

i think voyagers pics have been photoshopped.... a musicians
room,, with no empty crushed beer cans,, no holes in the
wall were a fight occured,, no funny carpet stains,, no beat
up posters of chicks.. oh ohh,, no cigarette butts overflowing
in ash trays,, and where are all the pizza boxes ?? ,, some
thing is just oddly out of place..

Hahahahaha! That would have been the case about 20 years ago.

LOVE this one, Voyager! Makes me want to start playing.

AWESOME setup Voyage. That is amazing. Wish I were a real musician.

Anyway here are a few of my guitars. The Ovation Elite and Tele are not picured. The Ibanez PS-10 II is there but very dark in the background.

wow!

great guitar collection....you're KISS fan too, cool dude!

you're KISS fan too, cool dude!

My Ibanez PS-10 2 is pictured Lydia Criss's new book - Sealed With a Kiss. It's on the final color page in a collage of Kiss memorabilia. A friend of mine did some of the artwork for the book and used my guitar in the photoshoot.

The book has tons of never seen before Kiss photos from the early days. Highly recommend it.

I don't have my own pics but I've pieced them together from pieces I found on the web...

My guitar, a Fender HM Strat (from somewhere between '88 to '92)



My amp, a Fender Ultra Chorus amplifier...



My only effects pedal, an Xtreme switch...

LarryFromNextDoor wrote:this is all very strange, but i can say T-Bone is cool and has a most rockin guitar collection... big into music .. and we know he has a delete button..

What guitars does T-Bone have?

Here's mine:

Gibson Les Paul Standard (Cherry Sunburst)
Ibanez PS-10 II
Fender Strat American Standard (rare red headstock ltd edition)
Ovation Elite Standard (acoustic electric)
Ovation Standard Balladeer (12 string)
Epiphone Casino
Mexican Telecaster
Cheapo Yamaha (1st guitar)

I sold most of mine off. I only have 3 at the moment, as well as my Line 6 Flextone II XL

1. My trusty 1992 Ibanez RG570 in flip flop Purple/Blue (Old Reliable)

2. A Strat copy

and....

3. A Prototype of my very own design from 1989 that finally got finished about 2 years ago. It was then revamped a little and the design is in the trusty hands of Neal Moser and Moser Custom Shop and will be part of his lineup of awesome axes in the near future. The tail was cut about 4 inches and the upper fret access was improved by making a little better cut and moving the lower horn out a little.

Neal was the man behind the BC Rich Bich and Virgin guitars as well as the electronics package they still use today on their handmades. He worked for them from 1974-1985

Past Toys:


Dean Custom 450 Neckthru




BC Rich Innovator 6. Less than 80 ever made. The body was meant for Bass guitars, but they decided to try a 6 string on it. I wish I never would have sold it




All these are gone now too







My Dillion LP679. Only about 25 were made as Gibson slapped them for it.





My BC Rich Gunslinger that I refinished.

When I got it:




What I did to it:







My 1991 RG570. I got it when it was white and had Mitchel at Mean Street Guitars refinish it in Holoflash





And Lastly....

My Moser Evil Bich. Neal Designed the original Bich for BC Rich in 1976 as well as the Virgin. He's building his own guitars now. I sold this one, but I'm kinda kicking myself now

wow!! as funny as it may seem , i really like that simple looking Gunslinger and Deen the most.. lots of noise can be made with them!!

LarryFromNextDoor wrote:wow!! as funny as it may seem , i really like that simple looking Gunslinger and Deen the most.. lots of noise can be made with them!!

Yeah, I'm not too big a fan of the "metal" looking guitars myself. I like the standard Stratocaster or Gibson Les Paul shape the best, or slight modifications to that design.

Some really awesome looking guitars...thanks for posting your pics, guys!

Cool. I'm there, as long as I get to meet Homer.

T-Bone, you mean to tell me that
you got rid of that pretty,pearly, metalic looking one?
I liked that one best, nice wood.

I kick myself in tha ass for this daily, my greandfather taught guitar for years and I never wanted too take lessons when i was a kid. My dad plays but he lives 1500 miles from me, wish I would of thaken those free lessons back then . I am thinging of getting a bass and trying to learn how too play that.

not mine but close.

Haynes flute circa 1951, Brannen Cooper headjoint.

flute music, particularly Prokoviev or Vivaldi, can be classified as shredding. hair on fire, millions of notes flying by, barely in control.

get it and just play. listen and imitate. it is just as valid and effective as "legit" lessons.

no regrets. look forward!! go for it!
