rallye440 Posted March 3, 2023 Posted March 3, 2023 Here's my Hamer beater. Also one of my favourite guitars on gigs and home and I bet that can be noticed. It was already in rough shape when I bought it 15 years ago. Plays and sounds really good.

mathman Posted March 4, 2023 Posted March 4, 2023 We were surf/skate rats and stickers were a big part of that scene. Here is a picture of when I first had it. Some different stickers. We changed them often.
bkrownd Posted March 4, 2023 Posted March 4, 2023 Not a "beater", but this is my only vintage scratch-and-dent "seen some things" guitar...
BTMN Posted March 4, 2023 Posted March 4, 2023 Late ‘90s import Sunburst scored for $80 in a chance pawnshop visit trying to pass time before meeting with some Columbus Ohio HFC members.
Biz Prof Posted March 4, 2023 Posted March 4, 2023 Bought this Chicago-built '96 Washburn MG-122 Artist a few weeks ago for $260 to use as a beater, and damned if it hasn't become a primary gigging guitar. Nice quilt over 'hog. Medium profile maple neck with rosewood board, Duncan Pearly Gates and '59 set, set to split via the 5-way switch. Wilkinson trem and Gotoh locking tuners that actually work as advertised. Grover did some good work during his ~3 years managing USA production and design at Washburn. https://flic.kr/ps/2uusRW
Disturber Posted March 4, 2023 Posted March 4, 2023 I bought this 93 Special a few months ago to be my no1 live guitar. It's in good shape, but a humbucker conversion. Okay work. Great neck. Just put APS2 Pro's in it. A killer workhorse guitar that I don't have to be afraid to put a dent or two in. I will take care of it though. Not going to throw her around just for the sake of it.

Rich_S Posted March 4, 2023 Posted March 4, 2023 Bolt-neck Maestro-branded LP Junior purchased in a pawn shop in Lake Charles, LA when it became apparent I was going to be stuck there in my hotel over Thanksgiving weekend 2020. My 2-week startup had already been going on for a month and I needed something - anything - to play. After I got home, I replaced the hot ceramic humbucker with GFS Mean 90, the crappy tuners with a used set of Grover locking, and the lightning-bolt bridge (which was compensated for a wound third and played hopelessly out of tune) with the adjustable Badass-ish bridge shown. It now sounds and plays decently and is basically indestructible so it's my travel guitar whenever I have to fly somewhere for work. I find it humorous than Gene's beater is my nicest, fanciest guitar.
VECTOR Posted March 4, 2023 Posted March 4, 2023 Here are mine. Hamer related my good old workhorse Scepter and a Gibson Flying V 90. Metal! The back of the hamer is er "ultra" aged and the V seem to have a light headstock crack. Both fantastic guitars.

stonge Posted March 5, 2023 Posted March 5, 2023 somebody put a lot of hours into this one long before I got it. they must have been a lot taller when they started playing it, because it weighs 9 1/2 lbs.

mathman Posted March 5, 2023 Posted March 5, 2023 Is there a rule concerning who does the beating? asking for a friend…..😀
