Guitar players: How many and what kind do you have?

[Left_Winger]

I have four:

a Rickenbacker 330 (my favourite),
a Rickenbacker 325 V12, 1963 Lennon reproduction limited edition (#99 of 136),
a Washburn D-12 acoustic with electric pickup,
a Fender acoustic bass with electric pick-up.

All I want for my birthday or Christmas is a Vox Valvetronix amp.

[rfranklin]

1. The 15-watt model?

The neighbors may call the police.

[Left_Winger]

2. I don't care...

most of them are republicans.

[WCGreen]

3. An old Ovation

and a Kramer strat knock off....

I also have a fender 100w tube amp

[Left_Winger]

7. That Fender amp sounds cool!

I jealous!

[WCGreen]

13. Got it used almost 20 years ago.......

Still kicks it though

[Left_Winger]

20. Tube amps rule !

[Orsino]

4. Four(ish)

Yamaho acoustic (had it for nearly a quarter-century)
Standard Strat
Ibanez bass
homemade lute/guitar built for me to use onstage in Twelfth Night

[Left_Winger]

8. How old is your Strat?

A friend of mine bought a blonde one in '74 and still has it. He doesn't play it anymore as he considers it a collector's item. :(

[Orsino]

30. Brand new a year ago.

It's nominally my wife's. She reveres Gilmour above all others, and demanded nothing less than a real Strat. She hardly plays it, though, and hasn't touched the bass.

5. Guitars

Rickenbacker 330-12 fireglo
Blond Telecaster 1973
Sunburst Stratocaster 1965
Gibson Les Paul Goldtop 57 Reissue
Washburn NV-100 Acoustic Electric "Crafty" model

[Left_Winger]

11. Wow!

What a collection!!!

My Ricky's are jet glow. I'm mostly colour blind, so I know they are black and white.

[Dukkha]

6. both kind!

Les Paul and a Stratocaster.

Les Paul is a studio model I tinker with occasionally.

Fender is a 1970's reissue with the David Gilmour EMG series pickups & electronic mods. That's my main axe.

[Left_Winger]

14. Cool!

Keep rockin'!

[leftofthedial]

9. I still consider myself a keyboard player

but I now have eight guitars

a Martin O15 that is as old as me
a Breedlove
a couple of Takamines
a really old Ovation
a Martin backpacker
a tele
a Fender lap steel

[Left_Winger]

15. I like the Takamine acoustics

they have a great tone and resonation.

[leftofthedial]

17. I mostly just use them onstage

they are bulletproof and sound great amplified, even in a (loud) band situation.

[Left_Winger]

21. Bulletproof

Are you playing at Bob's Country Bunker with the Blue's Brothers Rhythm and Revue?

[leftofthedial]

24. sometimes LOL

I've played behind chickenwire more than once (although it's been awhile).

I also play both kinds of music--country and western . . .

[Davis_X_Machina]

10. Korean Strat clone...

...and a Yamaha classical.

Saving my shekels for a resonator guitar.

[Left_Winger]

16. I can dig it

[Fenris]

12. ...

2001 Gibson SG Special

Mid-90s Danelectro DC-59 repro

Circa 2000 Seagull S6

Circa 2003 Seagul S12

[Left_Winger]

18. Cool

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

19. La Patrie classical (Canada), Montalvo Flamenco Negra (Mexico)

Matt Raines 7-string nylon (made in Japan), Ibanez 7-string solid body AX7221 (Korea), Aslin Dane Peter Rogine Jazz Model (Korea), Fender Strat (Mexico), Gibson Flying V (U.S.A.), Kay vintage archtop (U.S.A.).

My main axe these days is the Montalvo Flamenco, a very versatile guitar. I use a Schertler Swiss-made transducer on it and run it through an Ultrasound amp. Most of what I play now is fingerstyle jazz on nylon strings.

[Left_Winger]

23. I wish I had as much talent

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

28. more like stubborn persistence than talent

and pleasure in playing what I like to play

[Left_Winger]

31. Right on!

Enjoyment is priceless.

[RetroLounge]

22. I only have one guitar these days

1979 Gibson Black Les Paul Special I bought brand new...

But over the years I have sold my collection which was:

1956 Gibson Les Paul Special
1980's Gibson Les Paul Gold Top reissue
1980's Gibson Les Paul Standard, cherry burst
1972 Strat
1972 Tele
1945 Gibson J45
1968 Fender Bronco
1990 Rick 360-12, Red
Epi 12 string acoustic
Yamaha Acoustic electric
Washburn G-10-V Electric

I might have forgotten a few...

[Left_Winger]

25. I bet those brought a pretty penny or two

[RetroLounge]

26. Yeah, I wish I had some those pennies today...

:missing my guitars:

RL

[Left_Winger]

27. I would too

[RetroLounge]

29. The 1956 LP sold for 30x More than I paid for it...

Boggles the mind...

RL

[Left_Winger]

32. No kidding

I hope that some day my younger relatives (I have no children) have such luck with my old guitars. But, I doubt a Ricky would go for as much as a Les Paul.

[RetroLounge]

35. Well, this one was special...

It was autographed by Les himself.

It paid for a semester of tuition for college. Sad...

RL

[chaska]

[Left_Winger]

34. Good reply

[jpgray]

Epiphone Les Paul (PLAY these before you buy them--there are good ones and unspeakably awful ones)

Acoustic:

Customized Larivee
