[Kazz]

Washburn D46 Acoustic....still havent found the electric that is going to claim me.

[evenkeel]

Right now the Martin D2R or the Morgan Monroe M30 (000 size).
Love the 12'er in the pic but she does not get the playing time.

I've posted pics of it before but I do love my Modulus.

Simply look at the avatar on your left. 60th Anniversary Std. Strat in Blizzard Pearl.

[marnold]

By default this is now my #1/most used guitar, since it is also my only guitar. I am the anti-Spud.

This is my main guitar. I use the ES-175 for some tunes, and I'm still working on the Vendetta. The LP is my go-to instrument.

Dont really have a great upclose picture but it is my guitar that's usually in drop D tuning lately (using my strat for standard tuning)

We had such a thread already didn't we? Well, then once again my No 1:

We did too not so long ago, Jimi. This time I'll just link (http://farm1.static.flickr.com/178/478748940_6cdfa1f6b7.jpg) to the picture.

[Jipes]

As my regular slide guitar that's the one I use mostly even when I play in the SoulManiacs because it's easy to cut through the horn section with this nice axe ;)

Although the single coil buzz is starting to get to me. I think I'm going to replace them with stacked or blade humbuckers.

I honestly don't have a main guitar. I make a point of rotating through them at practices and performances.

Probably one of my nicer ones, and definitely the one I paid the most for, is my Les Paul Classic:

Lol nice pants. (and guitar to :D )

[Brian Krashpad]

Those pants always seem to get comments. You'd think no one had ever seen Swiss Army alpenflage before.

Is that one of the brass DiMarzio trems from the 80's?

I like the flektar. Is that Austrian or Swiss?

Oops, nevermind. I can't see too far down the page on this iPhone.

[FrankenFretter]

Some really nice axes here, folks. Mine isn't that impressive, but it is my favorite/favourite most of the time. My Schecter Blackhawk...

It's brass, but I dunno if it's DiMarzio... Mine is a mid-81 issue of a model simply and officially called STRAT - the first 'factory hot-rodded' Stratocaster - the first 'non-standard' Stratocaster, (other than something like a hardtail standard from the mid-late 70's) - and weighs in at almost 11 lbs. (soild alder body). MIne's early enough to be an oddball...chrome tuners & pg screws, while the rest of the hardware is 22K gold plated.

Here's the story:

[rylanmartin]

It's my Les Paul Studio. It was actually a gift (a pretty awesome one at that!). I've worn lots of paint off of it. I'll often wind up tracking more with this guitar in a studio setting than any other.

[Robert]

Me and my Suhr are like glue to each other. It's my #1 guitar - no hesitation!

[Auriemma]

Acoustic: My Ovation Elite-T

Electric: My Strat Plus
(that may change once I get my 69 Mustang Comp out of the shop)

[just strum]

At the moment it's the Strat, but the Dot can take center stage very easily and has been the #1 most of the time.

Just a humbucker guy I guess, but at the moment the Strat is singing.

Comp?

Is that slang for "competition," meaning w/racing stripe?

[deeaa]

Ah, here's mine:

Self-made and 10 times better than anything stock I ever played.

Thanks Mark.

Although "yes" would've sufficed.

:D

I didn't have a clue, so I figured at least one other person out there besides me would be the same.

So, responding to you - Yes!:D

I'd heard the term "competition" in reference to old Fenders, but didn't really know what it meant, and had never seen it abbreviated like that.

see, you are ahead of me - I thought he was referring to a car that would take his attention away from guitars once he got it out of the shop (not bs'ing either)

[M29]

Sweet guitars all, when they are they are right:rockon:

Nice self-made deeaa! I really like that pickup combination, sort of like a '51. Lots of flavor. What pickups did you use in it? Sorry if I missed your explanation elsewhere on the forum.

M29

Well, it's not completely scratch-built but based on neck and body woods from an 80's Charvette strat...but every part was re-shaped, re-formed, re-fretted and so on...it also used to have a floyd route and was converted to hardtail. It's now much smaller and lighter than original and of course my own shape; tilt-neck like on gibsons but strat scale.

The pickups are EMG 85 and S on the neck, which is what I use on all my guitars. The V has an 89 on the neck, but I use it in S mode...the 89 is there just for looks.

There is no pickup selector, just volumes, because 99% of the time I have both pickups on. The S merely gives it some added low end and 'size' plus helps it retain individual string clarity...I always use 2-pickup configs in any guitar I play. No need for switches, just roll back the 85 vol and it cleans up really beautifully.

[R.B. Huckleberry]

Lately, it's my G&L ASAT Special. usually, I don't go for maple fretboards (and this is the only one in my collection), but there is something about this guitar...

That's a pretty beefy strap button you got going there Rylan. What is it?

[ibanezjunkie]

those strap buttons look like those weird washer things you can fit to your guitar.

personally i just 'borrowed' a few dunlop straploks when i was on work experience. Theyre cheap as chips anyway, but James said i could take a couple :D

good olde guitar shop geezers.

[Ro3b]

1983 Guild D35 or 2007 Reverend Daredevil HB, depending. The Reverend is a recent acquisition, but it's quickly become MY guitar in a way no other electric has. Possibly because its neck feel very similar to the Guild.

[kiteman]

Sweet lookin' studio you got rylan. :)

Here's my fav axe, my Carvin DC127 loaded with SD Blackouts. :dude:
