Members Woody_in_MN Posted March 20, 2010 Members Share Posted March 20, 2010 Sometimes we don't play our most expensive, or best player, or newest acquisition. The guitar I have been playing most in the last couple weeks is... Washburn Idol WI64. It is fairly new. It is light, comfortable, and the neck PUP has a very different darker quality than the bridge PUP, and I am still exploring those differences. It can do nice clean vintage jazz tones, and also do high gain very well. A really nice match for my Vox VT30. How about you? - w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frets99 Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 I keep turning to my Tradition JR with the stock neck and SD Hot rail bridge. Sounds incredible in any of my amps and just makes me smile from the first strum. $100 used!! Woody, love that cherry idol!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 3leggeddog Posted March 20, 2010 Members Share Posted March 20, 2010 When practicing and writing by myself I usually end up playing my old classical Alvarez guitar. When jamming or gigging its generally my Carvin DC100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members metallica_00 Posted March 20, 2010 Members Share Posted March 20, 2010 Been playing my Heritage more recently. Just restrung it - I love fresh strings so after I restring I usually play that guitar exclusively for awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lobsterbush Posted March 20, 2010 Members Share Posted March 20, 2010 I've been playing my cheap DeArmond alot more recently. Took it with me this week (I work out of town) and adjusted the intonation for open G and been working on my slide technique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members machine gunner Posted March 20, 2010 Members Share Posted March 20, 2010 Not my best or most expenensive, but it does have a certain mojo and a very fast neck... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RufusFussbuster Posted March 20, 2010 Members Share Posted March 20, 2010 Me and the Epi LP have been hanging out together making crunchy distorty noises all week, because I finally swapped pickups last week. It was always a good player with mediocre, kind of generic sound, but now I'm extremely pleased with the way it sounds. The "new" (old, stolen from another guitar) pickups are ceramic and they like a little or a lot of gain. I also had the house alone for a few hours this afternoon, so all of my favorites came out for some loud time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members citizens_X Posted March 20, 2010 Members Share Posted March 20, 2010 I've been playing my Mustang 65' RI the most lately... i just had a set of lace sensors installed and this guitar sounds awesome now... i love it. I've got 4 elec. guitars and i try n rotate them and usually have 2 left out at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members FarToMany Posted March 20, 2010 Members Share Posted March 20, 2010 I usually dont play just one, i have a few that go in cycles. Right now its these three. '87 Westone....thinking about going 80's and changing plastics to red, has Tex mex singles and a Duncan Desined from a Schecter--looking into a Super Distortion though for that classic sound. Hello Kitty. I play this thing alot. Changed all the hardware, added a Duncan TB-4, Fret leveled it, stays in tune and can rock hard for hours. And my Chibanez Jem copy. A project that i am playing. Its some where between a lower end Ibanez RG and a Squire strat in terms of feel, fit, finish, hardware and playability. Its nothing like a higher end deal though. But unlike alot of these, the neck is straight (and actually has a truss rod), stays in tune well, Is made of solid wood (not ply) and gives me the essence of a JEM without the price tag. I bought a replacement RG pickgaurd, you can see it doesn't quit fit well. I like the red on white so i bough a blank sheet so i can cut my own that'll fit better. A very comfortable guitar for me to play. A good deal at $100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EJD Posted March 20, 2010 Members Share Posted March 20, 2010 The guitar I've been playing recently is my mother's nylon string classical (which she never learned to play anyway). My steel string acoustic needs repair, and has no strings, and my new Strat isn't quite built yet I should really get a backup electric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cbh5150 Posted March 20, 2010 Members Share Posted March 20, 2010 Been playing this almost exclusively since I got it a couple of weeks ago: The neck and body have the same satin finish that the back of the neck on the LP Ultra has - this thing is SMOOTH. The overall build quality is really good, especially the neck - no bad frets, intonation dead on, etc. This is the most playable LP I've had. The Mira's getting jealous , but shouldn't worry EDIT - Yes, I've pulled the pickup labels off since then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members newbuilder Posted March 20, 2010 Members Share Posted March 20, 2010 Mason still gets top or at least 1/2 time as #1 and when I leave home that is my goto. But my 2nd is a $200 Artcore. I am gonna redo it and put new pups in her cuz she plays soooooooooo good. Almost sold her and glad I didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
