Hey! Guitar players, let's chat.

@th3james: sweet avatar there, bro!

EDIT: This was an off-topic bit I started in another thread. Since we were having fun and it got interesting I moved the guitar related threads and started this thread...that's why it seems a bit out of context at first. Now that we have our own thread, let's talk about guitars and stuff!

[th3james]

Thanks! It's my Les Paul (only an epiphone unfortunatly) and my mates bass, all messed up in the gimp. Is that actually ur SG!? Either way, its pimp!

I'm the OP, so I guess I can take the thread off topic briefly.

It's an SG, specifically the one Eric Clapton played in the Cream era.

I have a Telecaster as my main guitar, but I also have a Guild acoustic, a Washburn bass, and a Fender knockoff of the old Guild Starfire IV semihollowbody electric.

I've played the Epi LP's, they're nice guitars. For the most part the biggest difference is the headstock. I played in a band for a while with a guy that had one and I was impressed with it.

@ matthew, sorry to keep this post off topic, but I too play a telecaster as my main guitar. I have the 02-03 mexican one with the sunburst finish. I really want new pickups to replace my (rather wimpy) stock ones.

Nice!

Mine is blonde with a black pickguard engraved with my name. I replaced the neck pickup and put in a humbucker (with chrome cover, of course) and a 5 way strat style switch.

Oh, and I'm pulling out our guitar conversation and starting a new thread. Get ready to post some pics! I'll start...sorry this first one's a little small, but it illustrates the description of my tele.

Some of my others and one of my amps...it's an old 1940's National I bought off of eBay. It was broken and I took it apart, repaired/restored it, and it works great. Maybe later I'll post a shot of an amp I built from scratch. Click on the pic for a large version.

a 5.1 MegaPixel Photo of my baby is in order!
ps. I am going to hook my Tele up to my SoundCard and do some recording with Audacity a bit later

Aww, you lucky tele owners! I desparatly want one as my second guitar (looking for a nice trebley sound to be the opposite of the les paul), but as a poor student, its out of the question atm (damn london house prices!). Any way, here's a pic of my LP in action!



Its nothing special, but i still love it!

[Brunellus]

y'know, I'm always amused at guitarists. They seek each other out to trade guitarpr0n.

I hardly ever hear about pianists posting photos of their pianos/organs/keyboards/etc. (Although if anyone here actually does play a Steinway Model B or a Hammond B3 that'd be cool)

[GuitarHero]

I've got a Gibson SG Standard as my main guitar. Dean strat as a backup. Seagull and Ibanez acoustics, and 2 classical guitars. Also a banjo and a ukelele.
