Now THIS is a special guitar...

[silverbear]

Just rig something up, get in your whitie tighties. Stand on the bed and start playing guitar with the smoke going off. I am sure it will either get the wife in the mood or a skillet upside the noggin.:laugh2:

Please, I just ate...

I admit I am not a gibson guy.

The only gibbies I care for are SGs and Vs. Now the others are nice instruments, most play well but they are just not my cup of tea. I find them very uncomfortable to play due to the necks.

I like the sound of Fender strats but once again find the necks uncomfortable.

I like either superstrats (body shape of the strat but made by different companies normally with humbuckers instead of single coils).

I like Warlocks, Stealths, Mockingbirds.

ML's and Razorbacks.

Many different versions of a V.

Superstrats.

I don't like the LP shape with the single cutaway.

I have to have a guitar that I feel the neck is comfortable to me. I have played some guitars that sounded nice, were vintage but just did not find the neck comfortable. When your guitar neck is not comfortable you find yourself putting the instrument down quicker than normal. When you have to fight the neck it takes away from just playing.

What a spoiled brat.

I'm all over the lot. I don't like to only play one guitar...even though I do have my favs.

I love the Strat for blues stuff and clean country stuff... There's nothing like it

My Gibson ES135 has some serious heavy sounds coming out of it... I actually got it to use as a semi hollow...but it's got great rock sounds too

The Taylor T5 custom is only ok.

And as far as the acoustics, I like the Taylor...but it's kinda bright sounding...and the neck, across the top, is wide..so between this and the electric, no more Taylors for me....

Acoustics... it's Gibson acoustics all the way. I have a Dove...and the sj200..and the 180 arriving tomorrow.

I've tried Martins and just can't warm up to them.

Actually, Breedlove is making some GREAT acoustics these days.

I think your blue Taylor is a nice looking guitar. If you posted a pic of it I bet most would agree.

I told him if that one had the star frets it would be amazing.

BTW, I think you should get the blue Gibson with the racing stripes.

This is a picture of the actual guitar as it was posted on the webstore that I purchased it from...in the picture, it's a little more bright in color than the guitar actually is

I'm too old for the Gibson with the racing stripes. Actually, I'm just too old...period.

Hey man, they were on vh1 classic in studio and played two songs. I have the video On my computer, but I need to rerender them to wmv's they are mpegs and about 250 meg so I dont want to upload them at that size.

I will upload them at a smaller size later for ya. They sound great together.
THey played your move which sounds great and high enough.

I was lucky enough to see George a few times over the years when he toured with Lynch Mob. Each time I saw him, the sound was atrocious. His guitar was just burried in muddied noise and he kept screaming at the soundboard tech throughout the shows. I guess perfectionists are rarely satisfied with their craft, and for good reason. I wonder if George still thinks Don is the Ethel Merman of metal

I saw dokken in 95 in a small bar in Syracuse.

Lynch had enough stuff to play The carrier dome, except he was in a bar that held around 1000 people at best.

I thought I was never going to hear again, He had a bunch of kamikaze esp's he was using with a full stack and he was motioning all night to the techs for them to turn it up. Don Dokken kept looking at him in disgust because all you could hear was george going crazy, and then the buzzing and ringing in my ear took over and I couldnt hear anything.

It was great to see george play all the dokken stuff, plus me personally I loved the dysfunctional album, it was an 80s metal album somehow produced in 94 but still sounded like it was recorded in 83.

Uhhhh, no... if you could bottle that, it would be the greatest diet aid ever invented... LOL...

It comes in black, red, and green as well. And you are never too old.

I had a SG a couple of zillion years ago...I was a dummy and sold it...I think it was a 1968...walnut.

Duh for me.

Well...nowhere even close to the value or quality of those guitars.

But I recently traded two guitars to get another one with a custom paint job.

One was my baby.

The first NEW guitar I ever bought. Nothing fancy but my first new one.

My Charvel.

I have had that guitar for 20 years. However I just did not play it anymore and it was taking up space so it went.

Even though I did not play it much anymore I already miss it.

Funny thing is that when i set up the trade with the guy he said he would clean it up and sell both of the guitars I was sending so he could get some money out of them.

He got the charvel and fell in love with it. It had a crap trem, crappy pickup and needed a fret redress but he said it was one of the most comfortable necks he has ever played.

So He is going to replace some parts, paint a graveyard scene on it and keep it.

I was talking to him about it and when he said graveyard scene I was telling him about your "Titled Angel" painting.

I have always thought you should see if you could get a print of that and have gibson, or someone that knows how to do it, put the print on a Gibson with swamp ash (like that voodoo one I pointed out).

That would look nice, the print, on a guitar.

Your first guitar IS your first guitar. I understand completely.

Great idea with the Tilted Angel painting...especially on the Voodoo...HOW cool would that be?

For the record, I also sold a 1959 Gibson Melody Maker.

If I knew how to play a guitar here's the one I'd want but only if I could match the tone.

Here you Go

Now just learn to play and save up your dough.

It's the learning to play part that would mess me up. lol

 

[Juke99]

I kinda psyched. BB King has a club in NYC...I am going there Monday night to see my favorite guitar player perform, Tommy Emmanuel.

BTW, the learning part is the best part. The "knowing" sucks.

 

[Juke99]

Oh my...it arrived today.

I'm in love.

It's not as bright at the Taylor...but not as heavy as the sj200...it's uh, perfect.

I like the inlays, but I cant stand that design on the body. It looks like Rollie Fingers mustache.
