Members Chordite Posted October 27, 2017 Members Share Posted October 27, 2017 I have more than enough electric guitars (10) it is skills I need to obtain.I long ago learned the lesson that the road to better playing is not more guitars, it is a few good guitars and a lot of practice:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members crustoleum Posted October 27, 2017 Author Members Share Posted October 27, 2017 I can agree with that. 100% Oh yes I do But , I also enjoy diversity , I guess , and the subtle elation of knowing that there is one more , somewhere , waiting for someone to get it...like me , maybe but yes indeed , 100% . I will now practice , while I wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members doublecross Posted October 28, 2017 Members Share Posted October 28, 2017 I'm always on the lookout for the old vintage Japanese stuff I can pick up cheap Basically just to restomod them, kind of a hobby. Cant really devalue them as they weren't worth squat to begin with. So really cant say what pops up, just know I'll be buying others if the price is right. Have enough high end electrics already so I'm taking the low road now. Must be at least 20 electrics around here, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Freeman Keller Posted October 28, 2017 Members Share Posted October 28, 2017 I'm perfectly happy with the two electric guitars that I own right now - an LP clone and a jazz box - but I get bored when I'm not out in the shop making sawdust. I've got a partially built Barncaster (that might go to a forumite) and an old koa coffee table that someone gave me that I keep thinking would make a cool Bigsby type guitar AND an electric mandolin. Don't have any idea what I would do with them if I built them.... Keep thinking about building a lap steel - maybe an 8 string. And a friend of a friend picked up my card the other day and said he was interested in having something built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Etienne Rambert Posted October 28, 2017 Members Share Posted October 28, 2017 I'm looking at a Sheraton ' date=' soon maybe [/quote'] Gotta have a Jazzmaster. I've put it off for other guitars at better prices. I always wanted one. I need that sound. Right now I approximate it ad hoc it with a Jazzmaster patch on a synth and a different electric w/pedals. Gonna get one this year or next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members doublecross Posted October 28, 2017 Members Share Posted October 28, 2017 Argggg! Absolutely Not! They must retain their vintage aura, I wont even refinish them in most cases, Leave them checked and distressed, They just look old and beat up. Everything under the hood is high performance though Pots, tuners and such are junk in most cases and go into the round file. some pups and such go into the special box for later use, I'm not that stupid, I know which ones to leave stock. https://imgur.com/a/xDc9R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Chordite Posted October 29, 2017 Members Share Posted October 29, 2017 Badpenguin "Never seen that particular model. Now that you wet my appetite, what the hell is it? And where can I get one?" They did a few models with that neck body arrangement That one seems to have a Thunder headstock. Meanwhile here is a similarly svelte Westone Pantera to drool over.

Members badpenguin Posted October 29, 2017 Members Share Posted October 29, 2017 The Pantera's I've seen, and thought, they were ok, but with that Thunder/Cardinal headstock, it's a looker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DeepEnd Posted October 30, 2017 Members Share Posted October 30, 2017 I like the look of the PRS SE Custom 22 Semihollow, especially the older ones with the crescent shaped hole rather than a traditional F-hole. Might be a cool guitar but I haven't played one and I don't play electric near as much as acoustic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Aren't those from the 80s or 90s? I think I've seen those before, but it's been a long time. Are they discontinued? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I've got a pretty decent assortment of electrics. I don't really need any more, but I have been tempted by the new Les Paul Tributes... they just really appeal to me. Outside of wanting (not needing - I already have a Les Paul) one of those, I also would love to have a non reverse body Firebird with P90s. I've also always liked the original Explorers - a reissue would be cool to have, but again... it's not something I really need or can justify right now. Beyond that, the only other electric guitars I'd like to eventually add would be a lap steel and maybe a pedal steel. I also need a decent nylon string, but that's a guitar for another thread on another day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went through about 20 PSR guitars, including some McCarty's, some Custom 24's and the Custom 22's. Bought the one that spoke to me the most and said take me home. They are very nicely made, and a nice compromise. A little bit like a Gibson LP and a bit like a Strat and with some Telecaster tone in there for good measure. I can't even remember when I bought it, but it must be 15-20 years ago now. I like straight up LP's and SG's, strats and Tele's better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's basically a hardtail Strat with two humbuckers (splittable) so it covers the ground I want. You can find the P90 version of the SE Custom 22 Semihollow for $350 or so, which is not bad, especially if you're like me and can't justify a huge investment in an electric. The humbucker version is $50-100 more, I guess people don't like P90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
