How Many Guitars do you own

[spectrescape]

Let's see:

- Carvin DC135 Electric
- HEAVILY Modified Ibanez Stagestar (currently sporting 4 switches and a button)
- Custom-Built (from parts) Les Paul copy
- Kay Truetone (circa 1967)
- Washburn D10SCE Acoustic (poor guy - he took a fall)
- Fernandes Nomad travel guitar (kickass little guy - check it out if you want a versatile & portable electric)
- OLP 5-string electric bass
- Premier 4-string electric bass (sounds like crap, mainly sits in the hall and looks cool)

Also got a pile of parts that will become a Strat copy someday.

Over the Pond

The first Strats were shipped in 1954,so his must be one of the first.

Was it '58 when they first shipped to the UK, I seem to recall reading that we in the UK couldn't get strats, something about export controlls, according to stuff written about the shadows

[mplnckstrat]

you can never have enough guitars!!!!!!

Every guitar I own gets played regularly, if not, it's time to let it go. Let's see, I've got:

G&L ASAT Special in Goldburst/Rosewood fretboard
G&L ASAT Deluxe Cherryburst/maple
G&L ASAT Z-3 Black/Ebony
G&L Comanche Redburst/Rosewood
Fender 40th Anniversary Strat Sunburst/maple
Fender '57 Reissue Strat Sea Foam Green/maple
Carlo Robelli Acoustic sunburst/Rosewood
Ovation 12 string natural/rosewood
Fender Precision Lyte Bass sunburst/Rosewood (secret weapon bass!!!!)

I feel the itch coming on for another G&L............probably a Bluesboy!!!!!!

Since this post first started, I've collected a few more...bottom line, when I pass by a music store, I look at the guitars hanging on the walls as sad and lonely orphans, puppies at the pound. Hi...my name is Punkin and I'm a guitar addict. So many pretty colors, shapes and sizes to choose from I hit 11 this month. Someone please stop me!

They're still cheaper than amps...I love amps, oh yea....and mics...gawd do I like mics.

I'm going to go to bed and eat chocolate now then maybe in the morning I'll call my therapist or maybe...I'll just walk through the Guitar Center to calm my nerves.

3 guitars i got,the first one in Ibanez PGM,second one in Jackson,the latest one in Line6 Varix 700...they are all my baby~

 

[punkin]

I've been eyeing those Variax guitars...how do you like it?

 

[hui lee]

the quality is good...but i do not recommend anybody buy that one...
there are reasons:
1.digital delay-it goes more serious with it go with other digital effect such as pod.but is only appeare in the recording.
2.not as sensitive as the original guitar.
3.i am a metal fan but variax could not give me a extreme sound....

sorry for my english

 

[punkin]

Gotta get that post count up so what the heck!

I own four and a half guitars.

1977-ish Alvarez 5055 6 string acoustic (Super Jumbo 200 copy)
1980-ish Alvarez 5037 12 string acoustic
1998-ish Fender Strat (Mexican)
2004-ish Fender Jazz Bass
1982 Fender Strat (American, in pieces in the closet)

The Alvarez SJ copy was the guitar my dad bought when I started taking lessons back in high school. I recently had some rework done on it: the junky adjustable saddles were replaced beautifully by an inlaid piece of matching rosewood and a one-piece bone bridge. The equally junky tuners were replaced by gold Gotoh's. Thanks to Marty for a superb job on a sentimental favorite.

The Mexican strat has received some personal attention: 1980's vintage EMG active pickups, 5-spring trem, and big strings.

The older Strat is awaiting it's rebirth: it's a war-torn old bastard that has wonderful sustain and a great maple fingerboard. It has been bled on, stolen, recovered, and generally abused. It was almost hacked to death by someone who insisted on installing a Rockinger bridge back before I bought it in '86. I really don't believe the body is a Fender original but the neck definitely is... Peavey tuners, though... hmm..

Anyway, lot of fond memories there so I think I'll keep it.

Well since I just had to take pictures for insurance reasons, I thought I'd post them here.

I think I've developed a pretty nice collection over the years.

[savageblues]

90 Strat Plus Deluxe
99 DeArmond Custom Starfire
Ibanez 12string from the 70's
Seagull SM (mid 80's)
Dean Performer e-acoustic.

The only ones I would have to keep are the Strat and the Seagull...

I want more...
