kkeller Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 You guys... I was up over 300 for a while, now it’s a bit more manageable down around 270. Lots of Hamers, Fender’s, Ovations, Gretsches and Guilds, but I love the weird stuff. I have 2 Andreas Pichler electrics, some Hofners and Framuses (Framii?). Also upper end jazz boxes, a Benedetto, a Martin Unger, and soon a Pagelli. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got tired of rebuilding power supplies and fixing the circuitry. To fulfill the Brit guitar requirement, I have a Patrick Eggle Berlin Pro.

Montelovesco Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Down to 3 acoustics and 13 electrics (four of them build by myself, so do they count?). I am more into camare gear lately (shame! SHAME!), but after reading this thread I think going back to some old habits... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Hey guys, sporadic lurker that finally decided to buckle down and register. Pleasure to meet y'all. I thought this topic was a fitting entry point, as GAS is an insidious disease. At one point I was in about 25 axes, mostly boutique builds. This led to a period where I was only fixated on oddly specific builders and I ended up with an eclectic combination of customs. I managed to cull the herd down to around 11 axes now, with 3-4 customs on the way (waiting more than 3 years for some of them!). These were the only pictures I had on my PC. Well, I had to resize these two just to get them uploaded. I guess it's an appetizer! First pic is my Jackson CS KE1 in Kawasabi Green. The next one is my custom Carillion Polaris; I designed the inlay and finish with the luthier. The color is an homage to PRS' northern lights, which I adore.

If I recall it right, you had almost all models collected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobB Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Once I sell 3 more electrics, 13 (2 acoustic, 11 electrics). Still too many, but 2 redundancies (2 LPs/2 Strats) is no tragedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamer_SS_guy Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Well, this year had a lot going on in my life. I did move to another house, am going to loose my job I have been in for almost 30 years. At home I don't play a lot anymore, I really kind of feel burned out. While moving I stored most of my instruments at my mum's house. 15 guitars and 5 basses, and I still have 7 instruments at her house, didn't even miss them (there are even my cool ones). My band still does rehearsals (I am the bassplayer in that band). I miss playing guitar in a band, but I am weary to play with people who just want to cover tunes I don't want to play, or those who like to jam but whose music theory is too minimal to even throw in a second chord. Do I still look at other stuff in the net? Yes, I am guilty. I know that new gear doesn't fire a new spark. I need other players to have fun making music. They don't really need me. And if it doesn't fit like a glove the first time, I get the feeling of wasting my time. Maybe I am on the way to other interests in my life, but I don't want to give up music. Ah, depressing sounding post again, what's going on with me? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gino Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 I'm way down at the bottom of this list: 3 electrics (C.S. Paul, C.S. Strat, USA Tele), 2 acoustics (Guild and Fender) and an 80's Ibanez bass, BUT: I love'em all, play'em all and won't part with any of'em. 2 amp heads and 4 cabs, might get another amp...

Brooks Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Swapped some unsold gear for a beater Ibanez acoustic to take on a fishin' trip last month; This Strandberg popped up on CL last week, my curiosity got the better of me, so I'm up to 4 guitars (hangs head in shame)...

Definitely Strandberg-curious here! The ergonomics coupled with how incredibly small they appear to be, sans-headstock, makes for an appealing argument. Have yet to find one in the wild to give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crunchee Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I snagged this used AXL Bulldog with aftermarket case from DGS last week (photos from them, they do a better job than I ever could)...very affordably priced, very fun, and it can get very loud and mean-sounding! Or subdued and sweet. The P-90 is a factory-stock Fralin, and the tone control can be switched out of the circuit via the pull-out tone control. It's got very good quality parts in it, even the tuners are TonePros 3-on-a-plate Kluson Deluxes (the TonePros versions were discontinued in 2015), plus the three-piece mahogany body is very well matched and the whole thing weighs just a touch under 7 lbs. (6 lbs. 15.5 oz., but who's counting?): Here's the Premier Guitar Magazine review: https://www.premierguitar.com/articles/AXL_USA_Bulldog_AL_1090_Electric_Guitar_Review Funny thing, the last three guitars I've bought during The Pandemic (frugally-priced used ones, of course) have been quasi-LP analogues that I stumbled upon rather than actively looked for, the Bulldog plus a Godin Icon and a Godin Core. I still have my Partscaster Telecasters and I'm still looking for more, but apparently good quality semi-inexpensive Tele-style guitars seem to be popular and harder to find these days, at least for someone who's frugal yet picky and on a tight budget like me.

Winter Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I've been freeing-up some of the herd over the last few months and as of today, I'm coming in at about 48 guitars in total. A bunch of Hamers, some Strats, Teles, a Jazzmaster, a Precision bass, a Carvin CT6M, a couple of Duesenbergs, Steinberger GM7TA, a couple of Gibsons, two B.C. Rich's, one Orville By Gibson, a Burny, one Rickenbacker, a Brian May "Red Special" replica, a Wilson & Fidel cigar box guitar, two Taylor acoustics, and some partscasters.

How does the Strandberg compare to the Holdsworth? I picked up a Standberg Classic 6 and I love how it plays and how comfortable (ergonomic) it is to play, but the sounds just seems a little 'light'.I like it well enough, but as soon as I try a tele or a Hamer (nevermind my Steinberger GM) I get all the thump and weight behind the notes that the Strandberg is missing. I'm interested in your comparison between the HH and the Strandberg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
