everyone loves to show off their axes
so
who has the nicest guitar?
Pics or it didn't happen, and though i am not expecting to win, i'll start off with
06 gibson SG special-love it to death really versatile guitar, les paul roar with fender-esque twang in the treble position

Here is my Breedlove AD/SR25+
without a doubt my prized possesion.  I have never played an acoustic that felt like this.  Light touch, but a bold full sound.  real intense mids, perfect for jazz

I buy and sell guitars on ebay, and I've had and sold some pretty nice guitars including:

Gibson Les Paul 59 VOS reissue
'66 Gibson Sg Special in 9/10 condition
Numerous Hendrix Tribute Strats
1969 RARE Gibson Lg-12 acoustic
I sold a KR Megavibe Univibe clone pedal for $875

But currently, I'm using the Fender CP 60's Strat. One of the best guitars you can get right now.

I have some sort of fender acoustic that i've yet to really learn how to play since getting it two years ago. How did you guys pick up guitar? I got some free lessons for a little while but they sucked and i didn't learn anything.

My guitar is for sure my most valued possesion. 1972 Strat. I love this guitar. My dad gave it to me...He'd had it since the 70's but never really played it much because he always had other guitars that were set up better. So I put some money into it, had it refretted, cleaned, and set up properly, and now it's amazing. It has that inimitable vintage strat sound.

I'm also building myself a tele:

Wow man that Strat is beautiful. Are you going to paint the Tele or stain and varnish it? That wood's got a pretty cool texture, what is it, cherry?

Oh, yeah.

I'm rocking an $80 acoustic which, with a fresh set of strings seriously sounds fantastic.


And the Squier Tele I've had for like 9 years. Woo. Beat to hell, electrical is shot, but it's good enough to noodle with and beat on when I take it places......


For about 6 months I borrowed a Gibson Les Paul Gothic, what an incredible instrument, put a little distortion on it and it would pretty much melt your face, but a little reverb and a couple other tweaks and it was the most subtle instrument I've ever played......... I was SO bummed I couldn't come up with the $ to buy it outright, one of my big regrets..........

siiiiiick man, a real vintage strat! I bet it sounds amaazing.

I would personally put a different pick guard on it though. I hate white pickguards on strats...

Bangor - That's not a current photo. I shellaced it with blonde shellac, and sprayed clear lacquer over that. The lacquer is currently curing (takes months). After that, I'll polish it to a nice shine, the end product being shinier, more defined, and slightly yellowed compared to as you see it there.

And as for the strat, if it wasn't all original I might switch out the pickguard, but since that's the original, I'm gonna keep it like that for sure.

haha also I have a 3/4 size squire strat, which i use with a tiny (clips to my belt) danelectro amp. haha. i can just walk around anywhere jammin' it up. i usually play silly drop d metal songs on it. it's my dream to find other people with hip amps and play the entirety of iron maiden's "hallowed be thy name" on the bus, and time it so that right when we get done, it's our stop and we get off. it would blow minds.

This is my 06 Mexican Tele. Not the nicest but a really solid guitar, and I think it looks sweet.

This is my gibson SG special, like the OP's. Not sure of the year.

Click for larger image

And this is perhaps my favorite. It's my dad's '79 Strat. This was the first model with a certain type of paint, but it was discontinued after reports of the paint started chipping. All original paint still, even if it is spotty! pics to come because i have none as of now!

The best thing about your Les Paul is that awesome flame job on the fretboard.  Where did you get that?
