I have nothing against guitar names. I just never got around to naming mine.

Yes, better.

Btw, I've seen your SG and that sweet Guild a batch of times, what does the 2xP-90 Strat look like?

My curiosity is piqued by my own recent acquisition of a pre-modded Strat with 2 P-90's.

[leopardstar]

BRB brian, i'll post a pic.

[omni]

Naming a gtr is ghey.

[leopardstar]

it's a cort body that jj gave me, it's either basswood or popluar. it has 2 gfs mean 90's. just killer pup's, imo







pretty proud of this one, as it was my first complete home build.

[stratitude]

I don't have enough guitars that names are really necessary...

 

 

 

 

 

...yet.

 

However, the few I do have usually get color, brand or material monikers... which are usually given by other people, who are asking "Why don't you play ..." or "Where's ..."

[leopardstar]

Naming a gtr is ghey.

as oppoessed to saying "ghey" which is just supid:blah:


we now return you to your thread....

so brian, what do you think of the guitar?

Cool. The one I just bought has the regular GFS P-90's in it.



As usual, I let someone else do all the modding work.

I love that color, although i'm not a big fan of cream colored P-90's, but they do look nice with that blue:love:

[vcnyls]

Lucy's on the left (amazingly not named after BB King's 335 - totally different story) and Roberta's on the right.

Haha, I was gonna say that it was just immature, but then realized I'd be insulting our nation's middle schoolers.

Thanks, yeah I thought that cobalt blue was pretty spiffy for such a cheapie ($103 + shipping).

 

I didn't really think about the color of the P-90's. I've got 3 other P-90 guitars, all with black pickups, so I guess now I've got a little more variety. Also, this is the first non-S-S-S Strat I've ever had, the first hardtail/toploader Strat I've had, and the first Strat I've ever had with a rosewood board.

$103 wow what a great deal:eek:

:lol:

[docjeffrey]

This one is called the "There's no way I'm gonna get laid" guitar.



Shallow one night stand trollips are looking for "Gibson" on the headstock.

[Brian Krashpad]

$103 wow what a great deal:eek:

Thanks, I thought so too. The guitar was probably around $100 new, but the seller had sunk at least another $80-$90 into it with the GFS P-90's, the Warmoth scratchplate, and CTS pots.

Did I mention he included the wired-up original scratchplate and pickup too?



'Cause he did.

[Brian Krashpad]

Dude, even with "Gibson" on the headstock, the discerning ho is still gonna know that ain't an OFR.

Fail!

[dattebayo1]

i've never named any of my guitars- however i have a friend with a guitar he calls "scary mary" cos the neck pickup is totaled and just makes really wild screams and wials of feedback, and generally just goes nuts whenever you switch to it, it's SOOOO much fun!!

[Motorcycle]

I've named, forgot the names and the renamed them. I just think of them as the Rev, the Tele, the Les, and the Junior.

Here's the last round of names I thought up:

Babylon - after the Dolls song, Johnny Thunders, and my Punk Rock daze.



Damballah - after the Voodoo god cuz this guy is pure swamp and rattlesnake blues vibe.



Nigel after the Spinal Tap guy "Listen to that sustain" uhhhhhhhhh "go out and grab a sandwich".




But honestly, to my self I just call them, the Rev, the Tele, the Les, and the Jr.

I'm guessing that was a Melody Maker modded to approximate a Junior?

[ej]

Meet Jen, shes the only one with a name thats stuck. We've been together 4 years now. Shes only getting better with age



and the Ibanez SZ in my avatar... well, i call that my SZ

Actually it's a for real '55 Les Paul Jr that had the upper bout cut sometime in the distant past for some unknown reason - it was expertly done though. But if you view the headstock and the back of the guitar you can see what I mean. It has a 55 serial number too. Under the custom cut pick guard is a pick-up size hole (not so expertly done) that I had filled with mahogany. My friend dropped it down the stairs to my apartment coming back from a gig cracking the headstock, but repairs worked perfectly and it plays like it always did - great.









I'm thinking about doing some drastic mods on it though, like stripping it and refinishing it to it's natural mahogany, adding a bigsby, and replacing the SD Antiquites P90 pickup with the vintage mini humbucker that was in the bridge position when I got it.



As I said before, it's a great player, but since it was butchered so badly by the previous owner, and my friend's cracking the headstock, thereby destroying any $ value it might have had, I'm pretty free to do with it whatever I want without fear of {censored}ing up a classic. So in that regard it's a pretty rare bird.
