rediscovering old favourites

[Alchemist]

I had a relatively relaxing day, got to jam with each of my guitars, tune them up... I had been neglecting my artstar for a while, but I got back to it today, jammed on it for about 3 hours, and I remembered why I love this thing so much. The tone and feel is like the perfect middle ground between a 335 and a Ric 360... Not as deep as the 335, not as jangly as the ric, but a perfect middle ground, with a fast neck thats comfortable to play.

 

Anyone else have a guitar that isnt their main but love going back to every once in a while?

 

(jamming with it left me inspired so I took some nice pics of it lol)

believe it or not, but this little turd sounds {censored}in' great - every pup I've ever put in there sounds better than on any other guitar - must be the hand selected plywood that makes up the body

 

the neck is an old 70s MIJ Harmony neck, feels great - I've had it on several guitars I've put together, I always keep it

 

 

this thing stays in the case most of the time, but it's a treat for me when I do pull it out - I may not play anything else at home for several weeks then

I neglected my MIA 94 Std Strat for a long time in favour of my Epi LP Std, and a budget Strat copy with a gorgeous soft vee profile on the neck.... i started to hate how wide that modern C shape neck felt at the neck, but then a while back i picked it up again for whatever reason and I'm excited about it all over again.... so much so, I'm actually going to put a similar neck on my next project Strat rather than anything else (this first one will be fairly modern in style, the next will be more vintage. ). It's my main guitar again right now...... though no doubt in a few months I'll go back to some thing else for a bit... and so the cycle goes on.
