I love that sort of gibson more than any other 335, 345, 355 yup luv em all

Is it my imagination, or have you been missing for a while?

[battleminnow]

Yeah, I have been "following other interests..." lol

My band broke up a while back, and my buddy just started MMA (mixed martial arts/cage fighting) and I have been training and cornering him. Plus I have been travelling for work a lot. You can check some of it out at www.myspace.com/icongym

Sorry, off topic... back to homerec...

Been here lurking the whole time, but there's nothing like an expensive GAS guitar to get you back into the swing of things.

Oh, and I got a sweet deal new at GC, so that's even better!

Now, where's that SD card and camera...

Back in a bit.

I only know about cheap gas guitars, but I know what you mean.

Glad to see you back. We need some variety. Mo is betta.

Can't wait to see the new mistress, er, aquisition.

I may have a new (to me) 335 copy. I'm supposed to hear from the guy today.

It's cheap, don't know how it plays or sounds, but it's pretty, and that's all the really counts, isn't it?

[battleminnow]

Yeah, I had to sell my Vox valvetronix amp, my Epiphone Elitist Japanese SG, and my Epiphone Sheraton II, but after playing a nice guitar I just couldn't go back. I bought a Fender USA Deluxe Strat a few months ago in my upgrade-from-cheap-stuff-phase and I haven't looked back. I don't, however, have any plans (or money) to buy anything else in the next year, besides a decent cab to go with my modded Epiphone Valve Jr.

I'm still looking for a cab for mine.

[IronFlippy]

I heard you say pictures were coming....

[battleminnow]

File size is too large...

Any suggestions?

I am seriously leaning toward the Lopo Line empty cabs. They seem built well, and there are tons of color options. I am going to load it with a vintage 30 for now, and if I like the cabinet, I might swap for an alnico magnet or just build another. The cabs are only $108 on ebay, + shipping.

Avatar Speakers HQ is just 30 minutes away and I love their stuff, but I am always willing to try something new like these Lopo cabs if they're that cheap.

Anticipating the red X of death here...

Right below where you type your reply there is "Additional Options" and in that there is Manage Attachments button to click.

Those pics you posted are huge and will not attach though.

There is also the [img] tag, but that I don't recall works anywhere but the Cave....unless if I recall the file is under 25K. You would type the img tag I mentioned, paste you link, and then close it with [/img]

Nice guitar by the way.

[battleminnow]

Trying again...

[battleminnow]

Thanks Outlaws, I just dropped to Paint and resized that way.

All right, more to come...

[Outlaws]

I took the liberty of shrinking your larger file with Photoshop for you.
Its a little bigger and less jaggy than the MS Paint version.

[battleminnow]

Thanks! I don't have PS on my new laptop yet, gotta track down that disk.

Pete

[Outlaws]

And the other one.

[battleminnow]

Strat, for good measure. It's a 60th anniversary USA Deluxe in Honey with Bronze pickguard.




And the wall...



My 05 Larrivee OMV-05e, 1989 Ibanez SR 800 (MIJ) and the Strat and the new 335.

And thanks Outlaws, you are "da bomb."

You can't do a direct image loading thing here, using the IMG tag...it's disabled. Clicking on the links to see teh bigger pics is cool though...It's sweet looking.
