the coolest guitar ever.
except mine is a 1965, not a 1964, and it has a white pickguard with the E on it. and it is in better shape. i like having a guitar from my birth year.

No no, not yet. I actually recently installed a Wonderbar on it and strung it back up and intonated it. It's been out of commission for a couple/few months ever since I took the sustain block out of it and sent it to Kevin for incorporation into my baritone.

The '78 Musician and the 90's Ibanez Destroyer are the two guitars on the chopping block though. The Gibson Victory Artist bass is going to be the next to go (Bean is already gone)... then one of those two guitars is next after that.

Unfortunately for me, they both have Wonderbars on them that I don't really want to get rid of. Finding someone that will buy either guitar with no bridge, though, I dunno... seems less likely. Actually, I have the Gibraltar bridge itself, for the Musician, I just don't have the sustain block and height-adjustment-posts cause they're in the baritone. The Gibraltar is sorta beat-looking, which is a shame, cause if they're in good shape they alone sell for over $100.

I'm sure that if I'm gonna sell the Musician, I'll bring it up here first. Maybe PM me if you actively want it, with the Wonderbar or without.

Right now, I've got 2 SG's.

'98 SG-X - A Duncan Distortion in this one.




'04 Standard - Duncan Distortion in the bridge, Pearly Gates in the neck.

Yamaha SA-2000 semi-hollow body (this guitar sunds fantastic... a total sleeper. anyone who's played one knows).

I've got one too. Like yours but in tobacco sunburst. Amazing sounding guitars. They'll pretty much do anything sound-wise.

Also, Gibson Les Paul Studio, a few cheap electrics and a Simon and Patrick Acoustic.

I play a 90s (?) Peavey Predator through a 14" Squier bass amp. I got some new strings this year.

I don't really play the guitar at all but somehow I manage to own three.

I have a Fender Crap..erm..strat...
A seagull acoustic that my parents bought me when I was fourteen and
A travis bean of some sort (bass) that my significant other gave me to play on

A motley crew if I do say so myself.

Please say that you're still dating this person... and that the bass really belongs to them, it just stays at your place...

And if not, uh... do you need a new significant other? To shower with cool gifts? Maybe, I dunno, I'm reaching here, a bass or something?

A Gibson ES-333

A foreign Stratocaster that has had the pickups replaced and been totally rewired

A Mexican Telecaster

An Ibanez 6 string acoustic

An Ibanez 12 string acoustic

I used to have an Alvarez "shredder" type guitar with a Floyd Rose and a ridiculously hi-output bridge pickup, but I gave it away. Also used to have another Strat, but sold it. Also used to have an Epiphone Firebird, but sold that as well and kind of miss it.

next acquisition: A Gretsch Duo-Jet, preferably black.

I don't really have a "main" guitar, but the two I play most often are:
Fender Duo-Sonic - all stock
Fender Jaguar - very modified: a Tune-O-Matic replacing the crap ass floating vibrato, a Seymour Duncan Jazz Neck humbucker in the bridge, and all those annoying little toggle switches and the two "rhythm" potentiometers gutted in favor of a simple 3-way toggle (neck/both/bridge) with the master volume and tone pots still intact.
And then there's:
Cort Hagstrom copy - all stock. Rarely played anymore. It's my first electric guitar and a gift from my grandfather when I was 14. At the time it was the coolest thing I ever had, still is, really. He also gave me a Sears Silvertone amp (30 watts, 8 inch speaker, tubes, louder than the wrath of hell, and looks like Buddy Holly should've played through it) that still works to this day.
Japanese Musicman something or other - Mustang-like body, sounds like shit. It has become, as of late, my "project" guitar, you know, the one that you wire up any which way to see if you actually know how to wire something up. Currently has the other pickup out of the Jaguar and a wah pot (100K) wired into it for laughs, along with an Epiphone Strat copy bridge assembly in place of the crap-o-matic that was the stock bridge. The Epiphone Strat copy died a horrible death on stage when I decided to play the role of Mr. RockStar and smash everything to bejesus and back.

02 SG standard which is my prized possession, and a yamaha pacifica that was the piece of crap i learned how to play on.
