What guitar are you playing today?

[Ashurbanipal]

Yeah I like Gatsby’s too. GS are just great quality, functional guitars although they do have some quite fancy looking LP types. I’m currently watching a GS2, if it doesn’t go too high I might make a bid. I missed a newish (2021/2022) GS1 that had a Korina body and an Ebony board, would have loved it but I missed the end of the listing

Agree, for the money especially they're great (used even more so), and quite customisable with the woods, pu configs, hardware etc. My mate's newest one is all korina and it's slick. I'd like to try the Grandé, it could be an LPish style guitar I may get along with . Good luck with the hunt .

I first learned about GS in the late 90s - Guitarist magazine reviewed a GS2 which, unusually, had a solid spruce body and a curly maple top!

The Auden acoustics, which are under the same umbrella of ownership, seem really good too. Years ago I played some at a show and was pretty impressed by the parlour model and a 12 string cedar/rw dread.

Played this one for a while...my Sire Larry Carlton something...

It's a sweet SSH axe that plays like butter...

It’s weird. My #1 typically gets 95-98% of my playing. It was the only guitar I used on our last album.

Yet the songs on the album we currently are recording seem to call for #2, which is featured in my avatar. I’m adding tracks w/ #1, but the main tracks for 11/12 songs will be #2.

I gave her new strings and a polish last night. We are recording song #7 this week.

So, to answer your question: #2.

Played the Washburn Silverado out today for the first time in Church with the full Scooped Strat set. REALLY liking these pickups in this particular guitar!!
Did some ambient solo improv stuff at the end of the Service today, and they killed running clean with my PRS Custom 50 head and the Alabs Ceetus verb in the loop.

washburn wms with a seth set into a very nice '64 princeton reverb into a v30. sounded glorious! volume 7, treble 7, bass 3.5, reverb 3. the v30 has a lot more body and volume than the combo's 10" jensen for sure

 

[Rex_Rocker]

I put it back to stock... except I of course kept those Duncans, because they sound good!

Not really, tho. It has straplocks, and the tailpiece is Gotoh because the original one looks horrible from top wrapping.

Gave the Charvel DK24 some love tonight, learning "The Lodger" from the last Judas Priest album and working on some classic Rust-era Megadeth.

 

[Chistopher]

Due to a whacky work situation, me and the 78 got a hotel room to ourselves for the whole week

@Chistopher , what pickup did you use, a tone zone?

 

[Chistopher]

Al Di Meola bridge. Normally they come with gold polepieces. Phenomenal pickup. Best I can describe it is if a 36th anniversary and Air Zone had a kid

Also it's in C# at the moment.

 

[Rex_Rocker]

@Chistopher , what pickup did you use, a tone zone?

They have one at a local store like that which looks sooooooooo cool. Is the pickup direct mounted to the body?

 

[Chistopher]

Yeah, and the volume control has a treble bleed, but that's about all thats going on under the pickguard

old school today

 

[MikeS]

Finally received a DiMarzio order I've been waiting on and tonight finally had the chance to install the Chopper T into my baritone thinline. At the same time I removed the 3-barrel bridge in favor of the more modern 6-saddle to help with intonation. Put it through the paces tonight and the Chopper T is definitely going to work out better than the Area T 615 that used to be in this guitar.

Playing the Purple Grote
Checking the nut where it got swapped over the weekend

Oh yeah

 

[marcello252]

Al Di Meola bridge

It is an asymmetrical pickup, right? If I remember the coils aren't matched

The neck is asymmetrical, the bridge is not

I forgot I had this old boy, I bought it in bits but everything was there except for the trem bar. It was really scratched up so I removed the PU finish on the back and sides, stained it with a kind of white wash finish and had the front polished by a local car shop.
