Re: The Famn Damily

I've never been a fan of red guitars, but that one is an eye grabber!


Thanks. You know...neither was I but w/the Gold Hardware I think it's a bit different. I fell for it after picking up it's 10 1/2 lb ass and playing it the first time so it wouldn't have mattered what damn color it was! ;)

Re: The Famn Damily

I was fortunate enough to recently add another "Made In U.S.A." Guitar to the "family"...a 1989 Fender Custom Shop Stratocaster w/Floyd #46 of 50 Manufactured. Purchasing the CS Strat necessitated selling an 1987 Ibanez 540R Blue Burst to make the purchase, but it was very well worth letting it go. Additionally, I let the "Lightning Sky" Warlock go a while back, and, as of the last couple of weeks, the "SRV" Pink Paisley and the First Act SFA CE140 Lola went to new owners, in an effort to get down to my 1979 Marshall JMP and my "Fantastic Four" Guitars.

The Famn Damily (Slight Reprise)

The deeds are done...parred down to the bare minimum now...and it feels good dammit!!! :friday: I started out with a used 1980s Epiphone MIJ Cherry Burst LP w/a L6 Style Open Book HS, a 1980s Squier MIJ Strat that I completely modified (Warmoth Neck, SD Rails, etc.) and a Fender Princeton Chorus 2x10 Combo. The gear that I have retained has brought me full circle to where I started and the gear I originally "wanted" but couldn't afford as a just engaged, full time employed/full time college student living in a small one bedroom apartment in Pacific Beach, CA...a Gibson Les Paul, an American Strat and a Marshall Tube Amp - it just took me 23 years to find the right ones!

Re: The Famn Damily

I love the black pearl dust strat w/floyd (that's the Fender name for that finish), and really love your tele w/floyd.

Am I wrong, or did you used to have a different user name? Who were you?

Yes Sir..."Black Pearl Dust" it is. The Kramer Tele just got parted out this past week. Sold everything off but the Gibson HB-R/HB-L Humbucker Set.

No...MuttznMongrelz for as long as I've been a member I'm pretty sure. I use to be GUITARADDICT13 about 10 years back on a few forums.
 
Re: The Famn Damily

That CS Strat is breathtaking. I'd love to hear your Marshall cranked and I'm sure that thing crunches and sings like nobody's business with your LP. You've chosen a fine few pieces to stick with :)
 
Re: The Famn Damily

Really a great collection of guitars. I am playing electric guitar and I loved your post. Awesome dude....
