Let's see your guitars

[DoggyDaddy]

Here are mine. Both sadly neglected for several years.

Washburn acoustic electric 12 string and Fender flat top acoustic. The 12 string is my favorite. I've always loved the sound of a 12 string.

Well, break out the Gordon Lightfoot lyrics and go for it, DD!

I'm more of a Neil Young fan. "Needle and the Damage Done" sounded amazing on that guitar, as did "My My, Hey, Hey" and "Cortez the Killer". Pink Floyd's "Breathe" and "Wish You Were Here" too.

I've been working on a version of "Change the World" by Clapton. Friggin half diminished chord is a killer!

Good tune! Although I think I like Alvin Lee and 10 Years After's version better (different song of course - "I'd Love to Change the World").

I haven't listened to them in a long time. I'm gonna add that song after I get this one far enough along. It would be a great segue.

Here's my Alvarez 12 string. It sounds so much better than I can play it.

Collings So Co model back when they had real brazilian fingerboards. Custom voiced Lollars just for this model and they are SWEET.

Here's a sound clip of Buddy Whittington (John Mayall's lead guitarist for a decade) playing it at the Slippery Noodle through an low serial number Dr Z MAZ38 and a Analogman KoT:

Here's Buddy playing his Vintage Strat on stage with Clapton and Mick Taylor at Mayall's 70th birthday bash:

Here's me not doing my Collings much justice at a local hangout:

Forum software won't let me start it at 2:10 so here: https://youtu.be/ssZPm2uxhAw?t=130

I haven't played in a while. Tendinitis/arthritis slowing my hands down too much.

Gibson Les Paul 59 reissue.

My 15yr old wants me to teach her acoustic. It would be a little difficult for her to put my hump back Ovation in lap for a beginner, so I ordered her a Taylor GS mini Mahogany. Gave me a good excuse to buy another guitar

 

[Mr Evilwrench]

I'll see if I can scrape up pictures later. I have a 2000 Stratocaster with aquaflake green finish. For its 21st birthday I got it a set of Lace Sensors to try out. Then there's a black Peavey Predator for noodling I got for about $80 because "it wouldn't stay in tune" I love finding someone that doesn't know what he's doing. There's the MIM 5 string J-bass, and a make-your-eyes-bleed orange Squier P-bass that I'm turning into a real player.

I do the repairs, mods, and setups, all the way up to making a full sbe. I'm not really up to opening for business because I have such a mess remaining. The guitar playing stuff is among the last parts of my brain to come back online.

Um, I might have a few laying around

My GS mini Mahogany came in. Nice little acoustic. This thing sounds amazing for a small unit. It almost sounds like a full sized guitar. Big sound. Nice mids and decent lows. Since it's Mahogany the highs don't wash out the mids like on spruce top, but yet it's still bright and sparkly with plenty of punch. I'm really digging it.

Very nice! I've heard good things about Taylor. I really need to start playing again... *sigh*

 

[NyleRN]

This is my first Taylor. Couple of my friends have Taylors and I've played them some. What I've noticed is Taylors have a fast neck and are super playable. And the notes are very responsive

Just went to look at some guitars today just to get an idea, a feel for a starter. My dad has some nice ones, a really nice Taylor he plays a bit, and some older ones that he's restored.

I was looking at a Yamaha today at guitar center, still doing some research and probably commit to something in the next week or so.

What kind of budget?

I've got a Ratliff R5 mandolin made in 1996, a inexpensive Morgan Monroe F5 and have got a Loar 600 VS being shipped to me today...

The pic at the house is from Saturday night....Rioters were 1.5 miles from the shop so I thought I might have to make a run out is the reason the weapons are out...

I was looking to stay pretty entry-level, but something good enough to grow into if I stuck with it.

Ended up ordering a "Yamaha APX600FM Acoustic/Electric Guitar Tobacco Brown Sunburst" today. I'll pop a pic up once I get it!
