Re: Post your main guitar

My #1 since 2005. Modded out '01 Music Man Sihouette Special, the Gunsmoke Pearl color is a limited run of 500 I think. I've got a Tone Zone in the bridge not but everything else is the same. Frank Falbo put stainless frets on it in 2009.

Older headstock or did you reshape it? SX strats are stupid-good for around 100 bucks.

Thats the headstock shape it came with and as far as I know this and the SX Taurus telecaster copy are the only guitars in the current rondo lineup that have it.

For years, an '81 Ibby AS-50 (335 clone)...

Then my honey got me an Agile AL-3200.


On bass, I gig with an '03 MIM Jazz loaded with handwound SD's.



I keep my LP Triumph for recording (I played live with it for years).

1983 Burny Super Grade plaintop. In this pic sporting Lollar Imperials and DR Pure Blues pure nickel strings but that is going to change.

I'm more playing bass these days, this is the one that gets picked up most often, a 2000 ARVI '62 reissue.

It took a lot of money, and a lot of time to build up that much money, but I put this together over the course of 9 months.

If you are going to go custom, definitely great to make it for you. Good stuff!

Re: Post your main guitar

my 1990 burny firebird, excuse the crappy phone pic. with an aph-1 in the bridge she sounds like a dream, and the neck pup is great too, all sweet and mellow. the only downside is the crazy neck-dive, making long gigs really really painful.

We ain't fancy here. Lots of mods, some of which get reversed or partially reversed over time. And save the vacuum cleaner for when company's comin'. This import Soloist can do 90% of what I need out of a guitar.

Re: Post your main guitar

On that TGP thread my main guitar was my traditional Tele type. Now a different guitar is speaking to me. This is my "outside the box" guitar. It has a Warmoth Soloist body ([poplar) and Arkade neck (maple with pau ferro fingerboard and painted gloss black to match the body); it has a single SD Screamin' Demon pickup at the neck position. The unusual combination of that pickup in that position = nothing else needed for killer tone. It has a very full range spectrum of sound, and this is further enhanced by it's customized gauge set of Thomastik-Infeld Jazz Bebop strings. Piano like comes to mind. Futher details include Wilkinson trem and Sperzel locking tuners. I could get by with this as my only electric guitar (but I'm glad I don't have to).

Re: Post your main guitar

Dec. '02 Custom Shop Esquire N.O.S. in Desert Sand with a birdseye neck, which weighs in at 6.5 lb. This one was actually custom ordered, not part of a production run. I've had it since mid '03. It was originally a white guard guitar with all Phillips screws. I have converted it to mid-1952 specs as closely as I can without going overboard. Callaham lacquered Garolite pickguard. Slot-head tuner screws, string tree screw, pickup screws, switch screws, and pickguard screws,...but Phillips everywhere else. Also, a milled jack cup from a Custom Shop Nocaster, and an "innie" switch tip. It sports the Eldred wiring scheme with a .0033uF cap. It doesn't have the cool factor of a vintage one, but I actually like it better. It's easily one of the top five best sounding guitars I've ever played (and I have played a ton of vintage ones). While I do play it a lot (more than any other), I don't purposefully abuse it. I try to take care of it, and it looks great from a distance, but it's getting kind of beat up. If it gets too bad off, I might refinish it in Dakota Red, or maybe Arctic White.

My Ibanez RG420FBZ. Surprisingly versatile with the 5-way super switch. I added "binding" after taking the picture, using white auto pinstriping.

Killer ! Only neck pickup though ?

Re: Post your main guitar

1993 MIA and a 2010 50s Road Worn. I take one of these with me when I head to play Phoenix area blues/blues rock jams. I also have a couple Hamer Specials (which I love!), but I find the Teles to work better for my current situation, as I can never be sure of what song is coming, and the Teles are quite versatile.

Thanks. I was inspired to have this one made by a Gibson student model I used to own called an SG100. It just had a neck pickup - probably out of an interest to keep it affordable, since it was marketed as a student guitar - but it really didn't need a bridge pickup. Here is that guitar:

My "Soloistcaster" similarly does just fine with only the neck pickup. The Screamin' Demon is my favorite humbucker, and makes a great neck pickup.
