Guitars - what do you play

[SumJongGuy]

to the subject matter a fender flattop I got for christmas 1979. With a darthole just below the nuts. Pro tip: Don't play darts drunk with the board set up above yer guitar.

Let's see it. 40 years old and a dart hit is the worst abuse? Pretty sweet..

This is what's out right now. There's a Japanese Strat in there somewhere.....

Man, the Swartz Atomic Space Tones are tempting...

I've got a couple bids in. Little hope of success but fun to play.

Mid-60’s Hoboken built Guild F20 with a sunburst top. Such a nice little porch picking guitar.

But I spend most of my time in the low end:
Fender AVRI 57 Precision
Mike Lull MV5

Oftpiste making me feel better about my collection. there’s most of the collection.

I knew a couple guys years ago who had the Martin Mahogs, '50's vintages. Both had stories of finding them in some old lady's attic and paying like $100.

I wish. Know any old ladies?

The internet has ruined those days for sure.

Nice rack.

Not totally. Last week I paid $8.00 for a really nice 1950s Zildjian 16" medium crash... NO keyhole, pretty perfect overall condition. I told the thrift store to raise the price of the rest of the 40s an 50s drum set pieces. Still a steal for whoever wants it.

I found one of my Japanese Strats, early '80's vintage, with one of those whacky floyd rose knock-off/locking nut trem bridges at Value Village for $29.99. It was covered in rust and grime and had been put on hold by someone who failed to pick it up in time so I swooped.

Had to disassemble it completely, remove rust and grime to make it useful, but that trem bridge I could never quite dial in, and because of the monstrosity of the cutout it's tough to replace it with something more normal. Kept the price tag on the axe.

That said, yeah, those things don't really happen much anymore.

I bought a Gretsch from a lady down the street whose son had died for $50. 1983, it was from the fifties. Thin hollow body electric.
Best score of my life, I sold it for coke money in 1985.
Still kicking myself (and haven’t done coke since that year)

I have a Ramirez classical, a Lanikai baritone uke, and this 1964 Regal archtop I found stuck to the floor in my uncle's basement. He bought it and never played it. The grandkids had used it as a weapon and when I picked it up, part of the finish remained on the floor. The sides were separated from the back at the heel. The tuners were all bent. The fingerboard was ugly spray painted stenciled fret markers covering some beautiful brazilian rosewood. And the action on the original strings was 7/8" at the 12th fret. It wasn't worth anything but at my uncle's insistence I spent several months restoring it to a playable condition. It is the loudest acoustic guitar I have ever played and has a tone that rings pure and sustained. Too bad I'm a fingerstyle player and am hopeless with a pick or I'd play it more often.

My main two right now but i got a few more in storage...the lp copy cost me 120chf/usd and plays really nice. The builder had a leaving-switzerland blowout sale. I bought two more identical ones for friends. Got the mockingbird last year and probably my best guitar ever after getting it plek'd.

Scooped this little guy up today. thrift store $29. Got a MG100 HDFX but the 412 cabinet's out in the shed. This should be fun for messing around some.

Close enough...got a strat and play it all night long?

It wasn't very large
There was just enough to cram the drums
In the corner over by the Dodge
(It was a '54 with a mashed up door)
And a cheesy little amp
With a sign on the front said "Fender Champ"
And a second-hand guitar
It was a Stratocaster with a whammy bar

Picked up another Yamaha for the kid since he likes those and Goodwill had a deal on FG331. These are stashed in his room.



Living room, half stack and bass rig on the other side of the room


Stashed in a case with humidor in the master bedroom is the 1956 Jose Ramirez that my father purchased in Madrid that same year.
