A better pic of the strat:
this one came home with me about a year or so ago as i happened to be in a local music store for strings. it's a somewhat rare 2000 Standard that Gibson did in an assortment of limited colors. it's solid blue with some very subtle, small flakes mixed it to give it this crazy-cool depth without being very "bling". the back is a dark chocolate brown. the board is ebony, which i very much enjoy. very nice sounding and rather heavy (no chambering here). i am not really a blue guitar kind of guy, but this one is stunning (IMO).
:eek:
OMFG....
I want one!!!!!
:evil:

Nice gretsch, what do you think of the 90's pre-fender ones? you have/had a gold one of some sort right?
I've got a '96 silver jet with filtertrons - pretty nice.
Also, I know you asked for a group picture, but since my #1 LP is still being refinished, here are the other LPs. The #1 is going to look no different from this black one anyway
'99 LP DC standard lite, '90 standard, '10 junior, '99 standard, '04 R9, '88 standard, '99 DC standard lite
The two DCs are actually a bit different from each other. one has a thinner body, and sounds a bit different. You can also tell I like the late 80's/early 90's standards. the one being refinished is an '89. (although that's been heavily modified)

i had a '95 Gold Sparkle Jet for a while. it was a nice guitar, for sure. if cornered, i would have to say i think Fender was the best thing that ever happened to Gretsch and those post-Fender examples are the finest around. hands down. even over the vintage US Gretsches. that said, again i would never turn down a MIJ pre-fender Gretsch either.

awesome collection of LPs you have there! that's not everything though, right? you mentioned a Gretsch silverjet. what else do you have in the "family"? you and i have somewhat similar tastes in Gibsons, i think. i also very much enjoy the mid 80s through the 90s for Les Pauls. heck, even the early to mid 2000s produced some killer examples.
