Re: Finally got some pics of my guitars........
Thanx for all the replies guys
I'm not sure what you mean by an 'Indented edge', sorry. From what I know (which ain't much) it's a 1993 Fender Strat Plus that originally had Lace Sensors but I changed them for Ants.
I may do a review of the Browcaster in the future, but I'm thinking of putting a Wilkinson Trem on it and making a new pickguard with a HSS pup config. I'll decide what's happening with it and then post accordingly
The Bareknuckles in the Gordon Smith are very nice! In this guitar, they're alot better suited to the tone I want than the pickups I had in it before were.
The Seafoam Green Tele is just a cheapie Tele that I picked up for £80, just so I have a cheap guitar to take with me on holiday and to gigs where I don't want to risk an expensive guitar (as-is the Browcaster)
The 'Browcaster' was originally a black 1970's Japanese Strat that I found at college. They were going to throw it out so I gave it a new home
The colour you see there is what the wood was like underneath the black paint after I stripped it. The wood was then treated with Linseed Oil (if I remember correctly) and then had a wax finish applied over the top to seal in the oil.
A friend of mine that's done a luthiery (sp?) course thinks that the very top of the guitar (the light wood) is Ash, the middle (darker wood) is mahogany and the back (not as dark as middle) is Ash again. This is only my friends opinion, so if any of you guys can tell for sure, I'd be happy to hear from you
If I could get them to grow more often, I'd harvest them and sell them to get some cash towards my NYC trip
Thanx for all the posts guys, and sorry if I missed a reply to anyone that asked a question

ArtieToo said:The LP's are nice, but I love that BrowCaster and Tele. Is that an "indented" edge on the Strat, or is it just the way the light is hitting it? If you feel like it, a mini-review of the tone of the BrowCaster would be cool too. Just wondering how you like that pup combo.

Re: Finally got some pics of my guitars........
The one I had was a Epiphone Les Paul Quilt top.... Same colour as Brow's Gordon Smith. It was a pretty good guitar. It played nicely and looked cool... It might be the model you're referring to, or maybe yours is different. Either way, mine was cool.

Great looking guitars! I really like the top on the Gordon Smith! Kind of a cross between Gibson's new Latte finish and honeyburst.

The quality of the Gordon Smith is very good. I'd put it just a shade under my Gibson LP in terms of playability and Tone. It's a little more darker sounding than my Gibby to my ears. I'm not sure if the cap is Maple or if it's just a laminate, but Gordon Smith's are made to be workhorse guitars anyway and not specifically to look good
