Any guitar players on TW?

Wake up thread.

 

I'm actually watching Gibson acoustic reviews on youtube right now. Dream acoustic is a broken-in Gibson Hummingbird. New ones are over $3k so I'll never buy one. I just sold an Epiphone EL-00 which was a swell guitar. I currently have a Taylor 114e which is a fine strummer, just too clean for my taste. Considering downgrading to an import Gretsch resonator:

A guy in CL local had an Axe Fx ii for sale or trade and I texted the guy what all I had and he said he would have gone through with it if an hour before somebody else had not texted him. Blast.

 

I sold my EL00 with plans to grab a used Gretsch resonator of craigslist, but Smith & Wesson has these great rebates running through the end of the month. Coincidentally, I sold the guitar for the same amount as a 9mm M&P Shield, and I was in the market for a conceal carry pistol.

 

Gibson acoustics are absolutely amazing! I bought a 2013 J-35 last year and I can't put it down. The volume and clarity are just in another universe from anything else I've played from the other big acoustic makers.

 

Did a little cable management today. Still no pro at it but wayyyyyy better than it was.




Also added an OD I had laying around in the front of the signal chain to use as a boost for my single coil guitars to keep levels between guitars unison.

 

I leave an MXR Dyna Comp on all the time. It has no noticeable effect on my humbucker guitars but boosts the single coils nicely. I may buy an OD pedal if I can ever figure out which one I want.

 

Here's some of my junk.
Picked up a couple dean's this weekend. The Baby ML in silver I picked up Fri for $100. And the Dean "Dime" Camo ML on Sat. The "Dime" has a pro tune, dressed frets, dmt pickups. It's actually pretty sweet. The Baby ML.....not so much.

From left to right..
Yamaha fg700, mid 80's Ibanez roadstar 2, Dean Baby ML, Ibanez geo bass, Dean Dime camo, Squire Affinity series and rogue with a Irishman.

 

My first time changing tuning earlier on a floating trem.
I went from Dimebags d+30 cents, down to standard d.

 

Oh lawdy!!!

 

Nice collection! I have a Squire Rogue as well, and it's a great little guitar!

 

Awesome! My first electric was a Rogue RX-200 with a knockoff Floyd Tose tremolo. I didn't know they were still around.

 

My squire is an "infinity". The acoustic on the far left is a rogue. I think it's it's own brand.

 

Hmmmm....I'll have to take a look at mine when I get home.

 

Haha.....sorry....far right is the "Rogue" acoustic.
Far left is my Yamaha fg700.

 

My Rogue has a fishman pickup and preamp in it.
Probably cost more than the actual guitar.

 

Here's a pic of my 2 dogs!

 

Nice. I'm a Duncan fan too. I have Alnico II Pros in one SG, an Alnico II Pro in the neck and a '59 Custom Hybrid in the bridge of my other SG, and a Tapped Hot Tele in the neck of my Tele.

 

I've been looking at some SG's. Man, they sure are coming up in price. Wouldn't mind adding maybe an epiphone SG or Les Paul to the collection and modding them out. I don't play as much as I like to anymore. I guess they are more wall art or conversation stuff. But I keep them all ready to play.
