My Stuffs :)

Warren

Managed to steal my dad's camera for a day or two, so took some snaps of the goodies:

Fender Highway 1 Strat
Courtesy of Brentcgp ? Absolutely loving this guitar, feels very special every time I lift it out of its case. You can see some of the wear 'n' tear on the body already, so looking forward to the years it's going to take to get it looking properly used.

Wonderful neck though, and great tone through the stock PuPs.

Takamine EG523SC
I love this guitar to bits. Wonderful tone whether playing chunky chords of plucked bits.

Beautiful looking thing as well, with great detail. Quite a narrow neck, the built-in tuner is my best buddy.

Epiphone Les Paul
Pretty much the standard Les Paul, I think. It's not a custom as it only has the single binding on the body and no fancy logo on the head-stock.

The Seymour Duncans on this guitar are great! I have no idea what they are, as the were fitted when I bought it, but they have wonderful fat tones with great clarity. Great sustain on this guitar too.

Heavy bastard though, after a night's worth of practice I need some phsyio ?

Tanglewood JZ-503
Very nice, inexpensive semi-hollow. Lovely warm, fat tones and I've always thought it's quite a head-turner too.

This one is for sale by the way, in the classifieds, will update that ad. I've attached a pic of the small cracks near the jack, it's not serious but I like to be up-front.

Aria Pro II - Magna Series
My very first guitar ever! ?

I don't know much about it at all. If anyone has any details, please chip in. The neck is still straight, but I haven't plugged it in for years, I'm assuming the electrics are pretty rubbish...

I was thinking of maybe doing something with this guitar as a little project, to learn a bit more about electric guitars in general. Some new wiring, some fresh pups...

Also, that body used to be white, but is quite yellowed, so would be interested to strip that poly off and see what lies beneath. Will maybe make a post about this in the mods forum...

Nice toys Warren - love the strat - next on my list.

ZarK

I dig your guitars. Nice variety as well... ?

Very beautiful '68 Strat. Lovely colour.

I wouldn't strip the Aria right away. That yellowed finish is highly desirable to a lot of people. You could take the neck off and see what it's made of. Is it a good guitar?

Maybe a new neck - I have a Warmoth neck on my Pacifica that came stock with those PAC904s and it's insane - would be a great way to turn it into a killer guitar if the body's worth it.

That magna looks like some kind of Ibanez RG clone. Even the serial no looks identical to my Ibanez's (mine is S4121504)

Hadn't thought of that...hmmm, maybe I will do just that. Have no idea what the wood is. or how to tell, so will remove the neck, take some pics and ask advice.

It's a decent enough guitar I think. I'll need to fit some new strings and maybe plug it in again, now that I have a decent idea of what I like hearing!

Dig the Fender, but that Tak is a thing of beauty.
Can you get a decent Jazzy tone from the Tanglewood?

Thanks Squonk! Rather fond of my Tak ?

The Tanglewood does produce some nice jazzy tones. I'll chuck together a recording during the week to demonstrate.

You haven't played my Gibson. I was playing it sitting down the other day and the leg it was on fell asleep after ten mins. I think it was killing the circulation ? Good guitar though, but you do fear for your back. Pete Townsend gave up playing LPs - he used '70s Deluxes which are among the heaviest out there with a maple strip pancaked into the body adding even more weight - because he started getting serious back trouble from them.

This is going to sound strange coming from me (7-string shred arsenal junky etc etc yawwwwn ? ) but that Takamine was the one to get my pulse up. Nice collection.

luckily I have a built in engineering feature that holds the guitar at an angle, thereby reducing the strain on my back. The Boep 1.7.3 is a fantastic invention...

Great collection of guitars. 8)

The stat was a great addition to the range of tones you have there on the electric side.
Very pretty Tak too. always had a soft spot for them, great guitars and never 'over priced' IMO.

Very pretty stuffs!!

L0L. I've been cursed with perennial skinniness, but I'm assaulting it with beer.
