Id imagine there's gotta be some 6 string, banjo , mandolin, brass or percussion players in here. If so and you wanna show off some of your instruments id love to see em.
Any musicians in here?

Here here ... that is a lovely guitar !! Ive got a few myself . Been playing for a long while
Add 3 to this since this pic was taken ... These are mine and my middle and youngest sons stuff . Nick , my oldest , probably has half a dozen at his place and is a professional player , singer , songwriter in LA
Im a Telecaster player , mainly , but one my newest guitar is this Epiphone George Thorogood " Whie Fang " Hollow body . The pick ups are like hot wired P90s or something , its an incredible guitar and does what my Tele doesnt , which isnt a lot , but it fills the void . I really dig it . The orange Amp is great too . I generally play out of a Marshall dsc40 bt its a tube beast that weighs like 75 lbs . I prefer the orange for small gigs and screwing around at home

The middle is my American Tele that I play the shit out of . The cheapie fender on the left is a Fender Starcaster that I snaged for 50 bucks to take traveling for work back in 2019 . I brought that and a black star mini fly stack for the hotel room ... it sounds a bit starocaster ish . The guitar on the right I bought in 79 or 80 and is an Electra MPC cartridge guitar , which were sued by Gibson and had to fold . Other than the pick ups not being screamers , its a hell of a guitar and I played that for almost 2 decades until I went Tele and never looked back . The neck on the Electra almost looks like its scalloped because I wore it out , lol . Its retired and has really seen some shit

I have many acoustics , its ridiculous , but the Yamaha Jumbo is my favorite . Picked it up in 88 and was my main player acoustic until I went acoustic guitar nuts and then I played certain ones for certain tunes

I pick a little here and there. I’m not a musician that’s for sure but I have a pretty substantial collection. A few acoustics, 2 strats (Mexican), a Telecaster a couple of amps (fender blues deluxe) and a Marshall along with a few small practice amps. I had a Gibson Les Paul classic but I gave that to my father for his birthday/ Father’s Day. It was too damn heavy and the neck was too fat for my little lady like hands anyhow.

Les Pauls have a different feel for sure . I think Dickey Betts solo in One way out live at the Filmore [ East , I think } was either a les Paul or SG ... if it was a Les Paul , it was the best a Les Paul ever sounded during a solo . But he can get the best natural sound out of one , imho of courseRiff89 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 01, 2024 6:25 pm I pick a little here and there.

Just getting around to this now . Such beautiful guitars !! It sounds like you both got a hell of a collection! I've had a tele for quite a long time will post pics shortly , a couple strats, and an epi s.g. as well. Lately it's been mostly acoustic pickin on the Martin's. That white fang epi looks sharp how does she sound?

I sometimes dream that I am a great drummer or guitarist and then wake up and realize I have no talent

The only instrument I ever played decent was the Wood Block and the Triangle in elementary school. I was a percussionist, you see?
I would love to learn how to play geetar. But that hurts my damn fingers

Man , that guitar is a screaming bitch ! But its versatile .... the P90s are fantastic and must be hot wired . Currently , i have flat wounds on it and , messing with the tone and volume knobs , Im able to get killer jazz and rock sounds . It plays well too and I really like it I pull it out for certain stuff but I play the Tele 75% of the time . I can squeeze most anything I want out of a Tele and nothing plays and feels better for me , not by a light yearBig Iron wrote: ↑Sun Nov 03, 2024 11:15 am Just getting around to this now .
