Some of my guitars - pics

[Tony_H]

Hi, I'm trying to post pics of some of my guitars. I'm not highly conversant with my borrowed digital camera so some pics are a bit fuzzy. Hopefully you will still be able to see what the guitars are about.

So here it goes:
My workhorse Gibson The Hawk. Love the simplicity. Stock pups and all.

Jolana Jantar - my first real guitar. All maple, bolt-on, currently with a JB in it. Sounds quite good overall, but the sustain is a tad banjo-y.

Custom Jantar by Mr Kobrle - a fancy custom-made take on my first Jantar. Maple-on-mahogany body, mahogany bolt-on neck, currently with Gibson 490R/T pups. Pretty cool, kind of SG-ish tone.

Homemade Jantar clone with a Kramer neck. This poor thing has had more than its fair share of cutting and gouging done to it. Had it refitted and it sounds quite cool with RM Pickups (plus a JB Jr in the middle).

Schecter parts guitar - all-mahogany with ebony board. Some of you may remember me inquiring about it here on the forum earlier. Custom TB, SSL-1 and PGn in it. Sounds fat and heavy (and is quite heavy too). I chiseled some wood underneath the trem to allow upward pull (you can see it's not the cleanest woodworking)

This is the semi-hollow wonder that I bought earlier in April. Lovely guitar (the pic sux, sorry). A2P buckers in it, sounds fat yet cutting. A big fat neck - yum yum!

My latest acquisition - the HWY1 Tele I bought just hours before my fourth baby was born. Stock as yet; I'm doing my research on Tele pups.

And finally, my previous Tele that will have to go. Heavy ash body, Squier Std neck, A2P pickups in it. Just posted it up for sale on a local ad website. If I don't get my price, I'll keep it

Thanks. They're kind of unique and I like that. I plan on having two more custom-made (one with P90s and one with three old funky single-coils).

Tony, I love the natural look of all your guitars. One of the nicest looking collections I've ever seen!

Thanks. I like the woody appearance. But I have some more guitars (pics soon hopefully), some with that natural look and others with solid colors. But I definitely prefer seeing the wood's grain. Our drummer jokes about my guitars saying "they look like your mom-in-law's furniture". That Lucille lookalike has flamed maple top and headstock veneer, it's hard to tell from the photo.
