A very good amp on its own or to push air with pedals as tone source
This is not the picture I would have chosen to represent this amp, but it's the one EquipBoard will only allow me to use.

My secret weapon
I have yet to utilize all the goodies on this piece of equipment - I cannot recommend it highly enough.

A lovely neck, but the electronics are vexing me
I put beefier string on it to reduce the flapping of the low B string. It plays nice, but one of the pots died on it and needs to be replaced (again). I use it in conjunction with the Baritone Tele for those songs I need to drop down into a singable range

Awesome bass
No modifications needed and it play like butter. Again, a satin finished neck which makes it so enjoyable to play

Very nice telecaster copy!
The model I have is a beautiful Korean Import model with a swamp ash body in a lovely amberburst finish. It currently has Fender Noiseless Tele pickups and a Bigsby installed. Adding the bigsby was one of the best things I've done with this guitar. It too, has a lovely neck with a satin finish, which makes it a dream to play.

I nickname this guitar "The Beast"
Now the one I have is a Korean Import model in Aztec Gold. The pickups were replaced with Rio Grande pickups. This guitar is a monster with the nicest neck I ever played.

Awesome Semi Hollow Body
I replaced the tuners, the pickups and the tailpiece. I had to replace the pickup selector switch, but that's no biggie. My EchoTone is a Custom, with Trap inlays. A Korean Import model

My first real 6 string
Replaced the stock pickups with DiMarzio PAF Pros, and installed Grover tuners. This guitar is better than most Gibsons made to date and back when this one was produced.

I have two that I heavily customized
I have two that have had the pickups replaced with sets of GFS Brighton Rock Vintage pickups. One of the Strats is wired in the traditional strat way. The other is wired like Brian May's Red Special. The Brian May Strat is Midnight Wine, and the regular Strat is come CopperBurst affair. Both strats also sport Blade-Runner Vibrato tailpieces, which are amazing!

I needed an electric 12, and I found this
To be truthful, mine is actually a Cherry Sarasota 12. I like everything about it but the pickups - I will replace them at some point

A relic from the Matsumoku factory
My Second real six string (the first being the Vantage Ghost) Nothing has been altered on it but some cosmetic "flourishes" I applied myself.

I love the Stratabond Neck
I use this for acoustic stuff - I have since installed a a preamp with a condenser microphone inside, rather than a piezo pickup.

For those times when a capo just isnt enough
The first thing I did was replace the pickups outright with some really hot pickups from GuitarFetish.Com . I found that the ones that came with the guitar were lacking. She roars now. I use it on songs that are normally too high in standard tuning (AC/DC, Led Zep, KISS, etc) while remaining true to the chord shapes on the original songs.

A very versatile Bass
I had to put heavier string on and a new bridge that I could actually intonate the strings, but for the price I got it for, I knew I was going to be tinkering with it to my personal preferences. I think I screwed up the whammy bar settings, but that's okay - I don't use it.
