Your fave guitars

[Ehwmatt]

Let's see your faves, guitar players

A couple of mine:

Suhr Pro Series S1 Tri-Tone Sunburst:


Ernie Ball Music Man Ball Family Reserve Steve Lukather Signature Model:



Tom Anderson Drop Top:



I really got a thing for Super Strats, as you can see. Tomorrow I'll take a pic of my American Std Strat, which I think is a beautiful guitar and an unconventional blue.

[T-Bone]

I designed this shape back in 1989 when I was in 9-10th grade. I was heavily influenced by some of the BC Rich shapes back in the day, so I slammed a few of my own ideas into a shape with a few design aspects of theirs and came up with this. I made the original body in woodshop that year and still have it, although it was never finished. I graduated and forgot about the guitar.

I then got a bug up my butt 10 years later to have it finished and contacted a guy on the internet. That guitar was built by him and I still have that proto, but it did NOT turn out the way I wanted and the quality was horrible.

I then started to look for someone else to build me one....

I met Neal Moser on a Messageboard that's basically dedicated to old BC Rich's as well as his own GMW and Moser guitars. He really liked my design and offered to build it, so I worked out a deal with him and the design is now trademarked/copyrighted by Moser Custom Shop. It's available on his website along with MANY other shaped and you can have them built to your own specs. :banger:

I don't usually care for guitars with a "metal" type body but that is pretty cool. Good stuff!

[epresley]

My Schecter C-1 Elite and my Ibanez Iceman.

My Rickenbacker 360-12 - such a unique sound!

Wow, I'd love to hear a clip of that beast. I've never had a chance to play a Ricken 12... just a Fender Strat 12 and of course various acoustic 12s

[Ehwmatt]

T-Bone, that guitar looks pretty fuckin metal ... bet it sounds heavy. Is it comfortable to play sitting down?

[Ehwmatt]

My humble electrics:



American Standard Strat '96 and Schecter C-1 Classic. That Strat is one of the best I've ever played on, including more expensive models.

[SF-Dano]

Always dug the look and sound of Les Pauls and SGs

[SF-Dano]

Anyone know the type of guitar Neal is playing in this pic? He used it alot around the time of HSAS. Is it a Roland?





I liked the look of the Schon guitar as well.

I don't know, I sure loved his sound from that era though. I like his more modern scooped sound for some songs, but on some of the old stuff I wish he'd go back to a more classic crunchy-sounding guitar. I love when he busts out the Strat for Lights. Brings out some great little nuances in his playing

I can't stand that tone...Unfortunately, that's something I think Metallica brought to the fold. It worked for them and for some other metal bands but it just doesn't translate well otherwise, in my opinion.

Here is my Schon NS-1:

Also have a 1992 62' Re-issue Sunburst and a PRS Custom 24.

Despite the Schon and PRS, I've always played Strats live.

Cool Schon model. I'm with ya on the Strat love. I could get by with two guitars my whole life: A hardtail S-S-S strat and a Brad Gillis style Strat S-S-H with Floyd Rose and 22 frets.

The guitar in the foreground is my other Schecter, the Aviation Series--

Fender Strat 12? Wow, weird-

You can hear the 12 being used for rhythm here:

Nice epresley. Is that a tele-style neck pickup?

How's it sound?

ha, thanks. All me. I think both my Rics are on there. I've gotta bunch of guitars so I forget what I used, but the 12 was definitely on both.

[Ehwmatt]

Love the bass line on Rudolph. What amp(s) you playing that 12 through? Classic jangle goin on. Is that a drum machine or you?

[Ehwmatt]

BTW, Bryan, are you into the 70s power pop scene as well? I'm hearing a lot of Raspberries stuff goin on on your MySpace. Lovin it.

Actually, I think that was Acid drums. I play a Roland Vdrum kit now. My original stuff uses that.
I was playing the Ric through my Vox Valvetronix Amp. I love that amp!

Thanks for the compliment. I'm a HUGE Badinger fan (and the Beatles of course). Also dig Cheap Trick, Jellyfish, The Move, Jeff Lynne, etc. Harmonies are a big deal to me. I wish I could pick them out better, it always takes forever, but I sure like the results.

[FishinMagician]

i play an eric johnson strat, but if i had to pick one guitar it would be a les paul with the c neck

The EJ strat is on my "gear I'd most like to try list."

My local GC hasn't had one in to my knowledge in years...

I love it but my only complaint is the neck gets pretty sticky with the gloss they use on it. I have to always keep it waxed up.Lately I've been considering sanding that shit off. But other than that, its an awesome guitar

[Ehwmatt]

How are the pickups compared to say a Standard American set? I've never swapped my pickups out of my MIA Std Strat.. they've always been good enough for me. But sometimes I wonder ...
