I decided to post some pics of my guitars because I know there are a few players on this site.82 ES-335,63 strat.and a 69 tele. :rockon:
The first one is my baby the 63.
:bowdown: to the '63. Love to see some wear on it, and it's not a closet classic. Someday she'll be as sexy as SRV's Number one.
I have a few myself, but only have two up here in my apt. Have an old '62 gretch solid body, cheapo 70's acoustic, and a 70's Gibson Les Paul Custom, which is the darker sunburst than Jimmy Page's.
Here is my beater with some ink I have put on it:
And My favorite, American Standard Strat. It's got custom wound pickups (wound by hand, by me. Lindy Fralin, the guy who has made pickups for Eric Clapton, helped me out with the materials and some tips). I also build my own effects and am saving up to build a tube amp (either a Marshall 100w Plexi clone or a Fender Vibroverb).
Nice lookin guitars guys!! Heh hopefully mine have that much wear when they are truly "aged". Sorry no pics yet....maybe I'll edit this tomorrow with some but I've personally use a Gibson 30th ann paul deluxe and recently picked up a Martin HD-35 to replace the D-16GT I had. Thats my baby. now just need to pick up a new amp to replace the Ampeg. It's loud as all hell but it's lacking on the tone end of things.
Here's a couple pics to give ya a idea. Any ideas for a decent amplifier?
Here's two of my effects. I have more back home, but I didn't want them to get stolen so they are staying there until I get my own place. I have a Foxx Tone Machine Clone, which I love, and is build into a cool cigar box, a Vintage Fuzz Face built into a Dunlop Fuzz Face case, a Custom Vox-Wah with some Fulltone Parts, a Uni-Vibe Clone, and the two I have here are a Tycobrahe Octavia and a Fulltone-style Fuzz Face ('69) with a Dallas Rangemaster wired infront to give some added boost. The fuzzes are built with original Germanium transistors which I have matched the Gains ala Fulltone in his '69 pedal.
The two I have here are built in Electrical boxes, so the look cheap and I doubt anyone would want to steal them from a gig (unless they heard them). I put the money where it counted, in the parts. I've been putting them through some abuse and haven't had any problems yet.
