Guitars of future past!

Share all your electric guitars current and past. Heres my list:

MIJ squier strat 80s, gifted to friend's son

USA Guild Starfire 1 60s, traded (edit: big regret, even though it had 1 pickup and was prone to feedback this guitar sounded great and was fun to play and now i can't afford another one. Old starfires have caught on in a big way. I was too young to make her work for me and appreciate her in 95, shes the one that got away.)

German Carvin sh225 aka hofner verithin 80s, current

USA Jackson dinky V, sold (edit: amazing guitar for someone else. This along with my 900 taught me I am just not into shred even if i know how to do all the techniwues and setup my gear for it.)

USA gibson lp studio 90s, sold (edit: worst guitar i have ever owned... I played good ones of similar vintage in stores but this was a dog. It turned me off of ebay guitars for a decade!)

MIM fender Jimmy Vaughn strat 90s? current

MIM fender classic 50s strat 2003, sold

MIJ fender 58 ri strat A serial, sold

USA Gibson lp tv special dc 2006, sold

USA Gibson lp standard 1988, sold (edit: this taught me that the 70s dictum that heavier pauls sound better is a lie, my sustain was long but the tone was unremarkable, not lively at all. This guitar also had me at the chiropractor for 6 months.)

MIJ Gretsch 59 duo jet ri 2006, sold (edit: great axe but the dynasonics are a hum nightmare. Worse than p90s for buzz in the era of iphones. Turned me back on to buckers in a big way.)

MIM fender classic 50s esquire 2000s, current

USA fender hot rod 52 tele 2008? sold (edit: seemed cooler in the store)

USA/MIM fender 59/60 spec parts tele, current

USA pebblebrook pinecaster 2012, traded (edit: this was a killer handmade guitar built from century old barn wood and some nice flamed maple, 1 of 5. It had a small carving flaw that made thepickguard look a little off so it was affordable for me. Great guitar but it just never sat right in my hand. Odd neck shape and i felt thestring tree placement made the tension weird on the b&e so out she went after a few years trying to make her work for my style of playong. But i recommend eddie's guitars to everyone. His finish work is uniquely stunning, especially over all the reclaimed old wood.)

CIJ fender floral tele ri 2000s, traded

USA Gibson Sg standard 2000s, current (edit: my desert island guitar! Perfect neck shape, super versatile tonally after a bridge pickup swap, so light I can play her all day and not know it. I musta played 100 standards and 61 RIs to find one that was affordable, loud when unplugged, super-light but did not have the notorious SG headstock dip on a strap... I got frustrated after a year only to find this one after I had quit looking.)

CIJ fender aerodyne tele 2000s, traded

MIJ yamaha sa1000 70s, current

MIJ yamaha sa1100 80s, sold

USA gibson lp studio platinum 2000s, current (I usually never look at singlecuts these days, but boy is this guitar awesome looking)

MIJ greco mr1000 70s, current

MIJ washburn falcon 80s, current

Takamine GX-100TB

Takamine GX-200

Ibanez GS221

Peavey Firenza JX

Epiphone Sheraton II (The worst guitar I've ever owned)

Some unknown cheap Squire I got for $25 off a cousin

This last year I have thought about if I'd ever buy another 6 string electric and I've come to the conclusion that I wont.

Out of curiosity Boom, what decade was your epi from so I can avoid those sheratons (i like the sheraton 2 in general, but i am not sure if the ones i played back in the day were 80s or 90s, mij or mik or even indonesian or Chinese)

This one was from the 2010's. I think it was a 2014.

Wheew. I have no interest in 2000s epiphones so I feel safe. Thanks!

Takamine g series acoustic (My Mum's technically) Marshall Rocket start knockoff Aria PRO II es-335 knockoff w/fake bigsby classic discontinued tobacco burst Line 6 variax (I didn't really own it, but I effectively did) Squier VM Jazzmaster MIII Squier HS Tele (I don't really own it, but I effectively do)

how was the variax? I have always been tempted to get on just to fuck with the voicing and tuning controls while playing!

It was a really great tool, with a surprisingly sweet sound. It's a great idea that in a gigging situation where you can't have thirty guitars, you can have them all in one, and as the one I borrowed for a few months was pretty much from the first run they can only have got better. I think they've got drop tuning tech in them now as well. There's a tonne of options, they're cool guitars, for the idea, price, and VFM, though I'd personally just have a few analog guitars.

Ibanez GS221

I just looked that up. Sexy strat curves and beveling... ooh. That's a superstrat I would buy.... hmmm. Is that a prestige model?

Have a friend in class who has a Teisco. Normally, the verdict is that Teisco guitars are the most hideous creations to have been brought upon this Earth. Like, there's normal SG's, and then there's this thing.

Anyways, it actually looks really cool. Some sort of single-cutaway that looks like a legitimate vintage guitar. It's got these fancy looking humbuckers, but it has a bunch of dead notes up the neck... Still sounds very nice.

Wait a second, this isn't obscure guitar reviews...

welp, I own more than a few guitars, but as you say, I can't take them ALL with me! These days I perform so intermittently that the stages are always small bars/clubs where there isn't room for a huge guitar rack even were I willing to lug it. But misuse of the modelling technology also appeals to me...

its not obscure guitar reviews but thas an interestin old knockoff... reminds me of the guitar Bernard Sumner played in Joy Division...

I see you are online :D

Do you remember what model it was?

yeh, my son is totally worn out today for some reason and its MLK day so I can putter around to my heart's delight... its not a teisco, but its awfully similar.... its on his equipboard

That sounds like a gio. Don't go there, don't even go there. Gio are the lowest of the Ibanez low, I nearly bought one, and I'm glad I didn't. It was back when it seem like pointy, sharp bits were all that mattered, and anything in a cool, colour, with a trem would do. Instead I came to my senses, and bought the jazzmaster.

Do you have any pictures of that pinecaster it sounds really interesting?

[This?}(http://equipboard.com/items/shergold-masquerader)? It looks really nice, but the Teisco looked more like a chunky hollow-body Les Paul.

The G on Ibanez models like GS, GRG etc stands for GIO, Gio models are their entry level guitars before going on to the standard series and usually cost around £100-£300 depending on the model and hardware but they are very well made entry level guitars and sound excellent for the money

I just posted that. Some are well made, and others...

Hey, some of those gio models are very well built but the trems on them are shit! like the crappy low end squier strat trems, piss poor quality. But pick ups etc are very good on the higher end gio RGs. I personally love Ibanez guitars and after I get my head in a few weeks I plan to save for a prestige series RG. Though the Jazzmaster is superior to most gio Ibanez models. The Cash convertors by me is trying to sell a orange RG that has a royally fucked edge 3 trem, missing a saddle, all jacked up set up, missing the lock nuts at the top of the neck etc. They want £350 for it and its not even a high end RG they are expecting like £100 less than retail
