seeker Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 GMP Pawnshop with TV Jones Classic Plus in bridge, and a Wolftone custom in the neck. It crunches and it sings like no other.
django49 Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 New day, new choice. What can I say? I'm fickle.
Toadroller Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 I grab my Daytona But since this arrived last week, I'm on a "learn how to play bass" kick and am gaining insights on how instruments work together. Fun to learn!
Citrus Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Wish I bonded with those necks, but after buying and selling 5 of them, I know to pass,them up when I find one. Beauty I keep going back to this one. My Chandler 555 purchased from an esteemed member of this board. The finish is original. The bridge, pickups and wiring are not.
tommy p Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 My '89 LP Standard has been my go to guitar for a while now when I play: That is a Holy Grail of a LP to me. Just perfect. Toss up between these two:More pics of the Firebird.I'm all Fender. I could really use a Firebird with a Maestro. How's that? What color is that front one? Quite a looker. this would work! I have that cabinet and the 2x12 version as well and never thought to paint the grill. It looks great. Thanks for the idea! I think I might do one of mine red.
Lockbody Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 I have that cabinet and the 2x12 version as well and never thought to paint the grill. It looks great. Thanks for the idea! I think I might do one of mine red.Is it painted? I had one that looked just like it that I always thought was paint, but then seeing that one makes me think some came that way.
ib2010 Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 The Firebird looks to be "Frost Blue" -- color gibson snatched from Buick/Cadillac in the 60's --- Here's my 91 c.s. --- this color fades substantially in sunlight, and most of the ones i've seen at shows (actually only 2) take on a more greenish appearance.
Camstone Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Been doing mostly solo and duo gigs this year, so my #1 is my '89 Taylor 410.
serial Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Toss up between these two:More pics of the Firebird.I'm all Fender. I could really use a Firebird with a Maestro. How's that? What color is that front one? Quite a looker. Kerry Green, which is the Gibson version of Fender's Surf Green.

Mine isn't Frost Blue-I'm familiar with Frost Blue because CMatthes had an identical '91 FBVII to yours in Frost Blue!
LucSulla Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Not that this is going to be any huge surprise. I don't play this one as much these days, but if I could only have one, this would be it with no second thoughts.
moozak Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 Not that this is going to be any huge surprise. I don't play this one as much these days, but if I could only have one, this would be it with no second thoughts. Is this one of those rare rosewood topped lp customs?
LucSulla Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 I actually have no idea. I bought it when I was 19 and didn't really know shit about guitars beyond:1. I like Les Pauls.2. I liked this Les Paul. That was 15 years ago. I'll admit that I was thinking is sure didn't look like maple when I posted these pics, but until I got into Hamers, I didn't really know enough about the various kinds of maple tops to notice it.
diablo175 Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 Changes day to day. Today it's a 3 way tie between the Clown Vector, the CS Charvel Star and my trusty Diablo. Tomorrow? Who knows.
Feynman Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 1. I like Les Pauls.2. I liked this Les Paul. This is beautiful logic. Nathan and I could learn a lot from you.
atomicwash Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 My two number ones are the '79 Sunburst and the '08 Tally Pro. '79 photo by Murkat.
polara Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 Giffin Vikta. I loves my Hamers but this is what I'd a designed if someone gave me a blank sheet of paper. All mahogany and LIGHT as a cloud Contoured top and back for comfort Chubby neck goes from a soft V at the nut to a round profile at the body I do tend to think a single-cutaway guitar is more solid feeling, more vibration-y. Might be in my head. P90s by Dimarzio Intonatable aluminum TonePros wrap tail Simple V-V-T controls and a selector switch I can reach quickly Straight string pull at headstock, stays in tune Bone nut, nice fretboard, perfect frets As a bonus built by the Baker crew at PBG. Feels solid.
Armitage Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 This was my Number 1 for a while... one of my best playing and sounding guitars... I just hated the Schenker (Gibson) knob placement.
Spike Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 My 1981 Dean ML is my #1 guitar, mainly because it's a beater so I can leave it out on a stand and not really worry. The pic is a bit deceptive as there was some hackery/butchery done by a previous owner and the eBay seller was, uh, less than honest about it. I won the dispute but decided to keep the guitar, partially because return shipping would have been expensive but mainly because the guitar plays like a bandit. The neck is very comfortable for my wrist (I had wrist surgery years ago and a lot of necks just don't work for me) and I can beat the snot out of it and it still stays in tune. It's a beater. What's not to love?
SouthpawGuy Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 This is the one I've been using the most lately ..... EBMM Silo Special hardtail with DiMarzio Injectors neck and bridge, Area '67 in the middle.
