Any guitar players on TW?

If I didn't just recently buy this Taylor 714ce for $3200.00 I would be all over that.

 

Yeah, man! The Cedar Top is warm for fingerpicking but that bracing makes it nice and snappy and loud when needed. It’s a warm sounding guitar for sure. I’m not much of a singer (I sing a lot but never get better ha) so I built it to be real strong in the mid range to sing along with rather than your typical guitar that has no mids so it doesn’t drown out the vocals. Sadly every buyer had said they’d buy it if it had an electronic pickup. I left it out for the best quality sound. Love this guitar but some chronic health issues are getting worse and worse and it affects my hands so I can’t play for very long anymore sadly. Hope it goes to a good home!

 

There they sit waiting for their 5150 Build to be done.

 

some pics from the Kramer section of the Gibson room.

 

would be cool if the jersey star went back Into production. I’d like to pick up one of those and the stagemaster remake.

edit - apparently the JS is back in production. That’s not good for my wallet

 

Playing hooky from work as I just got back home last nite from vacay.

The reason why I upgraded. Unless I bounced 8 tracks down to stereo 2 tracks, I'd already be out of room on my dp-02cf.

Really digging this unit.

 

I'm in the works of purchasing an Alvarez classical with on-board electronics. I'm excited!
Stay tuned!

 

The 5150 relic begins

 

This bitch is coming along rather nicely. Find a pic of Eddie's from 1986 then look at this one. Spot on.

 

Nothing much here. Testing the use of the faders during mastering mode.

I got it!

It's an Alvarez AC60SC hybrid and I bought it from the original owner. I have a few acoustics in my fleet, but have never owned one that could be plugged in, so I'm really excited.

Once I got it home, I started by removing the old strings (originals from years ago, me thinks) and then conditioned the fretboard with lemon oil. Then after cleaning and polishing the top, I tossed on some new strings and left it out of its case so it can acclimate to the temperature and humidity levels in the house.
Even though it still needs to acclimate and the strings are brand new, I was able to play a few songs on it and it sounds GREAT - even without amplification. I can't wait to jam out on it this coming weekend.

That looks sweet. What kind of acoustic amp do you have?

 

Thanks!

I don't have an actual acoustic amp. My main rigs are a Roland Microcube (love it) and a Crate GT65 with a DOD pedal board array.

 

If you want to give boutique pickup companies a shot you need to try Bare Knuckle. I have a set of Abraxas (Vintage Hot) pickups in one of my les pauls. There's nothing I've ever played more articulate. I LOVE them. I want more to put in my other guitars. The other guitars aren't getting any love.

 

I have played BK war pigs in several guitars. They are sweet for sure

 

ESP is releasing throwbacks to its '87 catalog. they look suh-weeeeeeeeeeet! i fucking need the pink Mirage!

 

Prob can't buy one for less than $1000.
Those Tele look cool though.

 

if they're on par with the 1000-series LTDs, it would be worth it. i actually really like the build quality of most LTDs (400 series and up).

i'll probably pick one up regardless, it matches my white ESP M-I Deluxe, but that has an ESP stamped trem that's impossible to find parts for. plus i've been looking for a pink guitar with that pickup configuration for my throwback 80s buttrock/ synth band.

 

Never played the 1000 series but I was looking at a snow white 1000 with beautiful pearl binding a few years back. Now I can even find one.
