I just busted B on my Taylor and was bummed as hell to find I'm out of Elixers. The guitar in my sights is this, but I can't really justify another guitar right now.

This thing is gorgeous. Koa wood body with bird's eye maple neck with Seymour Duncans. I'll post something other than an awful camera phone pic if I get my hands on a decent camera.

Chows posted:Tell me about that strat with all the crazy inlay work.   One piece alder body, flamed maple neck, rosewood fretboard / headstock overlay, rosewood skunk strip. Only 4 pieces of wood on the whole guitar. The inlays are abalone shell and mother of pearl. Fender custom shop pickups: 70's in the neck and middle, 50's in the bridge on a push / pull switch.  This one's an older picture, it has graphite string trees now:  And that's enough of that little hijack.

Ahh, I keep changing my mind on what to get next. I always do. Now I'm thinking a '62 RI Jazzmaster, either thin skin or regular, and either seafoam green or shoreline gold. Or, alternatively, a Lovepedal Eternity distortion if I feel the need to drop absurd amounts of money on one pedal (about $300).

That thing really does look great. And hey, no worries about people stealing it, anyone who's been to a show of yours should recognize it instantly! I'm ordering this in 2 days, as soon as I get paid. Been saving for a while now and I can practically taste it.  Fender Thin Skin '62 RI Jaguar

Synonamess Botch posted:In any case, the size and feel of it was the selling point for me - it's the comfiest guitar I've ever played, ever. Swollen, how much does the Jaguar weigh against the others present there? I'm thinking it'd weigh more than all of them but it's been a while since I actually played one.

Oh God before I went for the '62 RI Jaguar, I stopped by Guitar Center for strings for my acoustic... and...  Well, no more Jag. I splurged and bought my dream guitar. Oh, and this one's got a one-piece top rather than bookmatched, which I'd never seen before.

I play a 412 which is pretty much the same thing except a smaller body and ovankol instead of sapele for the back and sides and it is just a fantastic guitar. The satin neck finish is fast as hell.

Oh come on I just dropped into that guitar store to kill some time what the hell (Generic Google Image Search Result)  It's a Peavey T-15, complete with hardshell case with built-in amplifier! It's a tiny little guitar, 3/4 scale with a very thin 20 fret neck. The body's finished very thin so you can still feel the wood grain and everything, but despite that, it only has a few really shallow surface dings. The pickups are like humbucker-sized rail P90s. Actual pictures coming soon. The body for my tele arrived on Friday too.

Just bought a Gretsch Anniversary for $800 with a hard case. Seems to be pretty polarizing. People aren't really neutral to the color, they either love it (me) or hate it (most people). The advantage to the unpopular color is that it makes 'em cheap to pick off on eBay!

Hmm, turns out my new Gretsch totally rocks rear end for surf rock tone. It seems to be missing a key ingredient for that! Bigsby B6 with the awesome Gretsch wire handle. So much cooler than the normal boring flat spoon handle.

Arrived today! Gibson Nashville Les Paul Jr DC (Guitar of the Week #41 Dec 07), my first Gibson guitar.  Initial impressions: Very cool looking, ridiculously thin finish (texture is like the paint on the guitar), aaaaand that's about it. Still at the office so I haven't gotten to tune it up and plug it in yet.

Thanks! Now that I've gotten to play it a bit, I can tell you that those flowers are deceptive. Don't be fooled by its innocent looks, this is the ballsiest drat guitar I've played in ages. It has a real bitey growl which is very cool. More overdrive than distortion, if that makes sense. One thing I was happily surprised by is that rolling the tone knob all the way down doesn't muddy it up too much, it still has clarity and definition. On the other hand, I'm having a hell of a time getting it both clean and loud. I can get it clean and I can sure as hell get it loud, but it really overdrives the amp hard. Not a big deal, since I have no shortage of guitars that can produce a nice clean tone, but the cleanest I could get on a 25w 112 tube amp turned to 7 on volume was still what I would call light overdrive, particularly on the bass strings. Weight is low, balance is fine. I was worried it might be neck heavy due to the thinner Jr body and heavy Grover tuners, but it's fine. The finish is awesome. Having played it up and down a bit now, I'm a tad worried about its durability, but it feels SO good. So does the ebony fretboard. So, in summary, even though it looks like a whitewashed country picker, this thing's a monster and I love it. I would HIGHLY recommend this for anywhere you want overdrive over distortion, but it's definitely not a great call if you only want to have one electric guitar. Too specialized for that.
