Holy sh1T tyger – tell me about that strat!!!!! 😯

stratobiker – it’s an orginal 62 Strat made in Oct 1962 (my birthday month)although it has a Nov 62 neck date stamp. It has original reciepts, hangtags, invoice etc. Plays and sounds like you wouldn’t believe. I play it through a 1971 Fender Princeton Reverb amp and it’s awesome! Shall I post some more pics?

tyger – yes!!! and some soundclips. How and where did you track it down. Did you have to sell the inheritance? No matter. It’s an investment you can enjoy.

Some more pics then…

My guitars are of the workhorse variety. So here’s photos of me (pretending to be) working;

Love that ’62 Strat with the paperwork etc and the fact it’s been played loads. A great piece of history.

Here’s my new ’68 reissue Explorer, with my little tribute towards Tony Iommi 🙂

I always liked the look of Ibanez iceman

A non electric flamenco guitar that I use for classical purposes.
I have another really rubbish classical for camping type duites where I would not miss it if it broke/got stolen

Hey guitarhero – that clip of you playing reminds me of Blues Saraceno. 🙂

Put my Bareknuckle P90s in a couple of weeks ago.. sounds awesome 😀

I also have 2 Les Paul copies (Epiphone and Pearl). My amp’s a Laney GH50L.

Junkyard, I also have an electro version:

Just to add a little rhythm…

Cheers Steve.

my 1977 sg

That 62 strat looks lovely….did you buy it or was it handed down through the family?

How do you find the EJ strat? I tried a few on one I liked, and two (one of which I owned) I could not get on with (looked good though!)

Love the two SG’s too, sweet!

I *need|* a mustang and a jaguar, oh and a jassmaster, and maybe a gretch, oh **** it I’ll have a gibson hummingbird too.

Nice playing GH….wish my fingers would move like that 😉

What are we doing about blues for CG? We need to get something moving!

MrN…I’ve been fancying a Gretsch too…never played one, but they look awesome, and I fancy something fun.

My Dad is a Guitar nut and is making one from scratch if this interests anybody I’ll get the photos.

this interests anybody I’ll get the photos.

….anything guitar related interests me…get the photos 🙂

And electric rhythm

guitarhero, awesome playing! I don’t have anything quite as good, just a load of rock songs I’ve written which need a vocalist!

Cheers Tom. Your tracks sound great. Hearing lots of nice melodies that would work. I’ve given up on vocal songs and am recording instrumental stuff now. Nobody is gonna want to hear it, but I’m not bothered. Best of luck finding a singer.

here’s my D28

Apparently the last one is a homemade guitar side bending jig, it will have three 100 watt light bulbs inside it to provide the heat to soften the dampened wood sides, you then wind the rib clamp down to shape the ribs and then pull the spring loaded tubes down to bend the shoulder and base curves

I’ve given up on vocal songs and am recording instrumental stuff now.

Cool, I tried to get into doing instrumental but my style isn’t interesting enough, and I seem to be hard-wired for only being able to write rock songs that follow a typical structure of “intro-verse1-chorus1-verse2-chorus2-middle8-solo-chorus3-end” 😆

tyger – nice I tried a few cutaways but dont really find it all that much easier down that end of the kneck
Ps You are a guitar tart 😉 I gave up ages ago and just have decent kit

Love the guitar build pic’s. This is turning into an awesome thread it’s it’s only a couple of hours old 😉

I need to buy something…..NOW!

Junkyard 🙂

A little bit different and bought new in 83

Plays and sounds like shit though 🙂

Not mine, but very very close – it even has a ding in the body in more or less the same place.

Klung – my main is a Yamaha SG2000, massively under rated guitars.. bought mine for £300, wouldn’t part with it for 10x that.

what acoustic guitar*would you guys recommend for between £200 -500 to try out? Looking at the guitar guitar web site it would be a choice of yamaha, fender, martin, taylor & breedlove. I’m going to go and try a few out, but any recommendations of others at this price range so I can try and get a go.

I’m also considering a 2nd hand takamine ean 10c, but I want to take my time choosing (but not take forever)

* It needs to be a lefty
