50 cool guitars and amps!

this is my style, a guitar that is played by the guitarist who's music you dig and sweet amp, perfect.

how old is that sg?

fuzebox

I believe Gibson released this model in 2006, so not too old. I'm the third owner so I don't have much information on it's history.

Not too talented of a player either, I'm basically self taught on Youtube... I pretty much alternate between playing ACDC and Metallica riffs when I need a break from working. The Vox amp is really perfect for being able to get dozens of famous sounds with a turn of a knob.

dyna mo

right on, those emg pickups, what;s the story there?

hah, i use youtube a lot to learn too, i just picked up a guitar for the 1st time on july 1, just 2 months ag, hah, i'm smitten, why didn't anyone tell me how much fun this is!??? lolz

anyhoo, my primary learning tool is rocksmith, it's fantastic and i learned my 1st song with it in less than 2 weeks, granted that was a single note song but since then i've learned a bunch of chords, chords transistioning, etc and quite a few more songs that have both single notes and chords.

i follow that up with the lesson plans from justinguitars, all of his lessons are paypal contributions and they are all on the youtube, and they are very good imo.



anyhoo, i like guitars and guitarin!

dyna mo

Don't have any pics of mine on this computer. I checked a forum I used to post on but can't use their search to find the pics. Maybe this weekend I'll boot up an old computer and copy a few. It's just a creamy white les paul though with a lot of years on it. Hey, just like me!

these 2 pics should wrap up ANY quality issues about this korean made guitar

check the fit and finish and fret work here



i'm sure any guitar expert would agree that s duncan is 1 of the top 3 custom pickup makers.

these are hand-made and hand wound pickups created by duncan himself expressly for this particular guitar. that means that the magnets are hand-selected and matched to the poles, and they were wound by an expert and then both pickups are matched to each other for sonic performance, the bridge output is higher than the neck's though

these pickups are not directly available but duncan charges $200 for a set of p90 handwound pickups in general.

handmade in usa.

this was another good deal i snagged scouring craigslist.

this is a 1966 silvertone 1483, these are king of the lofi crunch sound, ie, shitty sound, which i love. and cheap when you can find one.

it is completely original. the original 2-prong cord, caps, tubes, and even the original 15" jensen paper cone speaker in fantastic shape, it's not dried out, not cracked, nothing.

the amp face was covered in rust and the cabinet tylex and grill cloth was completey filthy with boogers and ciggeratte smoke.

i removed the rust and stopped the rusting and thoroughly cleaned the tylex and grill cloth with vinyl cleaner and left everything as is, it's fucking perfect. the rust on the ot left on, on purpose

Here is what I scored this week to add to my collection:

1989 Ibanez RG 560 .. all original from the 2nd owner. I had one of these in 1989 and stupidly sold it in 1996 as I started to collect Fender Stratocasters... I have been looking at Ibanez JEMs for a few weeks on ebay and saw this pop up.

Other than a few nicks on it, its in fantastic condition. The Wizard neck is very thin and faster than greased rat shit. The action is perfectly set on this and its crack free on the wood.

Ebay can be a dangerous place, lol

dyna mo

oh wow, check that out! nice right. fill us in on this particular guitar eh?...... like that wizard neck.........that pickup arrangement i am completely digging, what's up with that?

dyna mo

that headstock is badass too man!

Herb Kornfield

It has the IBZ pickups that came standard then and a SERIOUSLY thin neck. The Body is very lightweight.

Here is some info on the series: http://ibanez.wikia.com/wiki/RG560

I played this thru my Marshall 100Watt Head + 4x12 cab. Sounded positively wicked for that late 80's shred tone.

Fretboard is wide like a classical guitar.. very thin and very wide. From looking at it, a perfect rectangle.

This to me was one of the top shred guitars back in the day. I am overjoyed to have another 560 in my collection and join the array of guitars here at the house.

Now its just organizing a jam with my buddies to crank this up right and proper

Minte

Seriously nice rig! I went out today and got something that would sound really nice through that....hint.. 335

Scored this today to fill out the home studio. Cant wait to start recording 4 days until this arrives from ohio. I got this for $300 ... gotta love ebay.

Minte

That was a great buy! Good looking bass.

missed this, thank you ! i am anxious to hear about your 335!

nice looking bass man! are those active pickups? how did you decide on this bass? i snagged a epi thunderbird iv passive pups, i like it but still haven't broken the code on what makes a good bass!

Minte

Yea..I couldn't help myself. Went back to Daves and snagged this beaut.

copy and pasted from the Gibson site. It's the nicest playing guitar I currently own. It works for everything. The finish is burnt cherry

The ES-335?s design and construction, revolutionary for its day, gave it a ?best of both worlds? appeal that suited it to any imaginable genre of music, from jazz to rock, blues to country. The 1959 ES-335 Dot Reissue accurately retains the original construction, with the solid maple center block for superb sustain and resistance to feedback, and arched laminated maple top, back, and sides for added hollowbody-like warmth. The glued-in quarter-sawn mahogany neck with long tenon has a one-piece rosewood fingerboard with a 12? radius and a width of 1 11/16? at the nut, along with classic 24 ¾? Gibson scale length. In addition to these details, the 1959 ES-335 Dot Reissue also benefits from elements of the Gibson Custom 20th Anniversary Specifications being introduced for 2013. These include more accurate Kluson? Deluxe machine heads, hot-hide glue neck fit, a period-correct Historic Truss Rod assembly with no tubing, accurate body and fingerboard binding color, and Aniline dye for the neck of guitars finished in Faded Cherry, and Gibson Custom?s outstanding new Custom Bucker PAF reproductions. The result is a ?Dot Neck? that is more true to the original of 1959 in look, feel, and tone than ever before.

that's a beaut minte. srsly. that's going to be pretty cool for jazz right? those paf buckers are very special.

and that cherry! i'm struggling to like red guitars, but a 335 in cherry would be super! hah.

holler back after you run some jazz through that, i'm really curious what you think about that.

dyna mo

i'm also confused about the 335 dot name, for some reason i was thinking the 335 and the dot were 2 different guitars........

Minte

I played it a couple hours over the weekend through a mustang III and it is amazing how good the tone is with the amp set to exactly flat. Before getting into classical for so many years I played almost exclusively in jazz bands and this 335 takes me back to my roots.
It's much nicer than the 335's I owned in the 70's...but then I didn't have a R9 either.

i've read it's a tone monster for jazz, that's awesome you have that history with it too.

i can't figure out though if the 335 was ever full hollowbody or if not, which gibbie was their full hollow...in the range i snoop around (epiphone :-) ), i've narrowed it down to the casino and the serranto.

i'm currently gassing for a gold sparkle version of either one of those, made by peerless in korea in the 1990s, a very special guitar.

i would prefer the serranto,

dyna mo

i'm reading up on your 335, minte, wow, that is a dadgum guitar!

i was a bit surprised to see that style of tailpiece though, but looking it up, sure enough, it's period-correct. i had thought it was a trapeze for the 335 in 1959.

i'd bet this guitar goes right up to the top of your list!

dyna mo

if i were smart about it, the guitar in this range i should get, should prolly be the 50th anniversary 1962 sorrento reissue in royal olive burst. it's limited to 1962 units, comes with coa, and some very special paf mini-humbuckers. the prob is i love that crazy gold sparkle on that peerless version but it was only made with p90s and i already have a p-90 guitar, the one i started this thread about!

Minte

Strangely, the 335 was one of the reasons,that I hung up playing electric for so long and switched over to classical. The bands I was playing with did fairly large venues and to keep up on volume, my amps went from a super reverb to a twin reverb and then finally an acoustic 360 with 2-4x12s cabs. I had to play it so loud that the tone just went away. It got to be to frustrating. Now I play through dinky little amps and if need, they get miked.

And you are right, this one gets the seat of honor. It was more than I should've spent on another guitar,but I guess that's the point of working. You can't take it with you.

it would fit right in, i'd have the solid body fender, the semi hollow with p-90s, and full hollow with mini paf buckers.

that should do it! hah, right.

Minte

For september..

i just snooped a bit and the 1st run of the olive burst is sold out, all the stores are taking preorders for the next batch shipping in late oct.

so technically, under gas rules, i still have sept open since i have to wait after i order!

Minte

I already know what is next up on the hit parade for me,in October. And this would be your fault!

holy moly- flamed top and birdseye maple fingerboard! hah. beaut. i like the quilted tops too, i came across a birdseye maple les paul for sale recently.

1994 peerless epi les paul with seymore duncan pups

Minte

Wow,that is a really unique guitar. Birdseye is one of my favorites in maple.
Any idea what the weight on that is?

dyna mo

from the best i can tell, the mik epi lp is sub 10 pounds. this one is the standard, which i've found weighs ~9.5 lbs, i'm figuring the birdseye top shouldn't add much, if any, to that.

this top was a 2 year production run only, it was dropped but they continued with the flametops and quilted tops.

Minte

That's a decent weight if it's under 10. Some of those LP's early on were way to heavy. I had a couple of them early on and always had to wear a 4" wide strap or it would just dig in.
I think Ibanez has really done a fabulous job building incredible sounding/playing guitars that are light and comfortable to play.

i can imagine, this epi tbird bass is 12lbs and i can see how it could start pulling a shoulder down at a gig.

i was reading up on the ibanez artcore series, very impressive reviews, they make several in this line i have been admiring.

i have yet to find a bad review of this $400 guitar!

http://www.musiciansfriend.com/guita...lectric-guitar

Minte

I have an Artcore, different model than the one you posted. But close enough. It amazes me that these guys can build such a high quality guitar like that and sell it for that price. Add a zero if you want a Gibson which is basically the same design.

well,, crud, maybe i should put it back on the *keep an eye on* guitars list! i'm trying to cull it down a bit, lolz.

Minte

Good luck with that.. It's easier just to commandeer another room for them.

nice!

last time i tried to play my bass was like i never played in my life before - not having played for 10 years totally killed my (even back then) lousy skills. too bad.

i hear ya, i lose ~15% of my ability to play a song in ~24 hours, i've noticed it across the board on all the songs i am learning or have learned- if i don't practice it at least 1x a day, my next score on that song will be ~15% less than the previous one and that % goes up every day i don't practice that song.

Minte

This is my favorite jam track site. Lot's of everything to practice with.
