Well, I spent 25 years as a Strat guy, then 20 years as a LP guy. Last month I picked up my first Tele, a MIM Nashville for $500. I almost regretted the purchase just after I got it home but it was just because the action was way to high. When I set it up properly I really started liking it. Then I got addicted to the tone and it's been receiving most of my attention ever since. Really good for something that cost 1/4 or 1/5 of what I usually spend. Don't know why I waited so long to enter the tele world but better late than never. I do get a bit annoyed banging my pick into the middle pickup but I just have to adjust my habits and I'll be good. Maybe I'll be a Tele guy for a while.

I put the Magnatone in the picture because I just got it as a present from my sister-in-law. Her mom played a bit and they've been clearing out her estate, found it and gave it to me. It's from 1954 and in perfect original condition. I normally wouldn't dream of plugging in a 70 year old amp without first recapping but after opening it up and seeing how pristine everything was I had to try to play with all original components. Works great, sounds good, no hum... no explosions. I don't think I'll stress it though.

I'm thinking about jumping back in the PRS game and I know there are a lot of fans here. This seems to be a good deal for the money but curious what others think. $1,900? PRS Studio Core with original case.

Copy whatever you did to the corner of the table at the bottom of the picture.

This is very true!

I have 3 purple, 1 white, 2 gold, 1 Orange, 1 pink, 1 green and blue, 2 red, and 3 blue.....this doesn't include any natural or sunburst.

Neon green next me thinks

Come on! get a black first! ...and this time, don't take a sander to it!

Quote from GearJocke

I've never heard the original song. Only Motley Crues cover and yes I've always knew it was a cover. This is so much better than MC lame cover if you ask me.

Definitely better, played by every cover band in the 70s.

But the dude looks like a dark-haired Garth!

My Tangerine dream - basically a Fender Squier contemporary Strat in shell pink that I repainted ( looks good from a distance ha!) and I had replaced the neck with a lefty for a reverse headstock, and changed the pickups to Seymours...shes not bad..bit of fun.

I believe it's fair to say you have a very colorful guitar collection.

Just got it. Mint condition 2018 Gibson J-15 EC. I wanted it and finally found a great one at a great price. Not a mark on it. Even the case is pristine. Wife gave the ok (as long as I sold one of the others). I'm happy.

Definitely worth seeing and great in the studio, but in my opinion they've never been very tight live. Can't even blame it on their current age. I remember buying their Love You Live album back in 1977 and thinking it sounded like it was made by a drunk cover band in a shipping container. Still though, legendary songwriting and studio work.

Quote from Kellerblues

Didn't wanted to buy anything, but this AS153 popped out just 10 mins drive from here at less then 400 bucks... .

It looks like new, not 1 single sign of wear.

Had to pull the trigger.

Well....if it just "popped out", you can hardly be held accountable. You did the right thing.

My "in progress" project guitar which started as a Squier contemporary strat in shell pink, which I have sprayed neon orange (partially successful), added a reverse headstock neck and changed the pickups. The donor guitar was cheap and actually I'm paying for it using some money I had from leaving my previous role. I hasten to add the neck fitting and set up will be done by a professional ha!

Nice job! Like the pickguard and orange is definitely more aggressive than the pink.

Well, it's about time.

I have no clue who he was but I do know the Ramblin Man song.

Look him up. He was one of the greats.

Quote from Monkey_Man

So the virtuoso-clip thread, intended to inspire us to up our games, gets trashed but this one is still kosher?

OK...

Now I'm confused. Once you rack up too many point you go back to being a beginner??

Quote from BayouTexan

I took a guitar lesson with Ted Nugent the other day. Good tips once you get past the flamboyant bow hunter's quirks. He is one of my heroes. The tone he gets out of a Byrdland is stupendous!

He's not everyone's cup of tea for various reasons but has great energy and killer licks. I'm a fan...despite him snapping off my 6-way toggle ! It's a bitch to resolder the new one in.

Quote from BayouTexan

Thanks a ton!

I want one!

But.... I think you already have one.... It's in the green box. .

Quote from V8guitar

I love Brian....weirdly....and this is a compliment....I think he sounds like Tom Jones in some parts!

Tom Jones! .... Sings like Tom, dances like Joe Cocker. Actually, best I've heard from Slash. Impressive.

Can't help with your DS issue but can appreciate your taste in guitars.

Quote from V8guitar

I say I like the aspiration because I don't like the look of it or the sound of it but that's about the execution rather than the concept.

Wait a minute... I think that's how my wife describes me.

Who exactly is their target market? Even with unlimited gear funds, that would not be on my wish list.

I would argue that a significant aspect is psychological and confirmation bias. Perceived is the key word here and hence to me the majority ( not all of it) is subjective.

Blimey, this is a deep conversation

Alright, that's it. My head just exploded. I'm escaping back to the safety of my 16th note pentatonic scale practice before someone escalates by invoking the feared Kant-Heisenberg paradox debate.
