RostokMcSpoons Posted August 1, 2024 Posted August 1, 2024 (edited) Well if we can have a Watches thread (which I like), then let's have one for geeeeeeeetars too, as they can lovely things to behold and meddle with. I am a pleased-as-punch recent purchaser of this: PRS SE CE 24 in Blood Orange If only I could play it as well as it deserves! (This is my 5th guitar, purchased over a span of nearly 40 years, and I've only just got vaguely to grips with rhythm. Lead is a complete no-no. I suck!) PRS really do a fantastic job on build quality, even on their cheaper guitars (like this one). And it plays so easily, it's really nicely set up straight from the box. I might invest in a set of locking tuners on it, the 9 gauge strings are shifting tune as my 'office' room is a bit of a sweatbox at the moment. And those skinny strings are slicing up the ends of my fingers a bit - though that might be because I'm just playing it too much Anyway, share some pics of your beauties Edited August 6, 2024 by RostokMcSpoons gavinkempsell, Tactical Pith Helmet, Lozart and 1 other 2 2
Nick G Posted August 1, 2024 Posted August 1, 2024 PRS make some stunning guitars., and thats a beute ! I'm an SG fan mainly. Hugely into Sabbath, here are my main 2. The Gibo has 2 Iommi custom pickups and the Epi has the same in the bridge. I have got a Jaydee Oldboy on order, build slot is about 12 months away yet ! Copy of Iommi's main guitar , made by the same people that make his , can't wait ! It'll be a trip up to Birmingham to collect it and have a look around the workshop.

RostokMcSpoons Posted August 1, 2024 Author Posted August 1, 2024 (edited) SG's are proper good rock guitars ? ?that cherry one would be my pick! Edited August 1, 2024 by RostokMcSpoons Nick G 1
Nick G Posted August 2, 2024 Posted August 2, 2024 The cherry Epi is lovely, and out of the box much better than the Gibson. That had an action you could get a bus under and took lots of setting up. To the extent that I wouldn't buy another Gibson, my Les Paul is also and Epiphone, but running a very nice pair of Bare knucke pickups.
Madhouse Posted August 6, 2024 Posted August 6, 2024 Bassist here! Late-comer to the party (2019), always fancied it and when the eldest started learning I said I would too. Obviously his Squier Mini-strat hasn’t been played in ages but I still play regularly. Here’s my Ibanez SR370. Nick G 1
Supporters Lozart Posted September 2, 2024 Supporters Posted September 2, 2024 Most of mine are in cases buried in the spare room right now but I have: 1991 Gibson Explorer - my first "proper" guitar, bought from Peter Cooks in Hanwell when I was 21! 90's BC Rich Bich NJ - workhorse guitar from my gigging days, has SD Jazz and JB pickups fitted and more dings and scratches than anything else. BC Rich Bich special edition - this was designed as a signature release for Mick Thomson of Slipknot just as he jumped ship to Ibanez so it has a blank fretboard but archtop and white binding. Awfully heavy bloody metal. Epiphone G3T - licenced copy of the old Steinberger cricket bat, it has a Steinberger trem and Iron Gear pickups. Plays really nice and just sits in my office for when I start noodling Westfield bowlback electro acoustic - bought it when Westfield were still trying to sell their guitars as "premium", it's pretty nice but just doesn't get played. It doesn't chug.
Moderators Jez_Armstrong Posted September 2, 2024 Moderators Posted September 2, 2024 Can't play them for shit but I have one on the wall Lozart and Nick G 2
Nick G Posted October 7 Posted October 7 New guitar day ! The Jay Dee Old boy has arrived , about a 20 month wait from ordering . I decided on a green burst colour scheme, which they have repeated on the back and up the neck . It's bloody awesome , slick neck , low action , pickups sound great .

EvilMonkee Posted October 7 Posted October 7 I have a 96 SG in cherry red. Gibson. HZR13 and Nick G 2
Nick G Posted October 7 Posted October 7 4 minutes ago, EvilMonkee said: I have a 96 SG in cherry red. Gibson. Very nice ! This makes my 3rd SG, one Gibson, one Epiphone and now the JayDee . The gibson and Epi both have custom shop Iommi pickups in them , the JayDee has their own Iommi pickups which are a P90 as opposed to the humbuckers that Gibson make . Only had time to give it a quick try , but the pickups do sound different to the Gibson ones . Iommi is the reason I wanted to pick up a guitar, and I play in a local Sabbath tribute band , so SG's are a definite thing for me 🤘 HZR13 and Lozart 2

TBF you can easily spend that or more on an off the shelf Gibson , but not cheep certainly . Mind you , the quality is so far beyond my Gibson .Yep its a shame about the bridge , but the one they are using in it's place is pretty damn near identical . Lozart 1

Honestly, I'm a bit out of touch with guitar prices. I was amazed to see how much a new Explorer is now given that the woods are arguably inferior to mine that I bought for a sniff under £500 in '91!

Popular Post Asomodai Posted October 11 Popular Post Posted October 11 (edited) Aye so I am predominantly a bass player. Been in many bands over the years, nearly made it big a few times. But ultimately hated the touring life. Once auditioned for Bloc Party before they made it big and turned them down as I thought (And still think) The Singer can't sing live. Currently hoping to replace the Jackson Jeff Loomis 7 String Hardtail that I sold recently with the Active Pickup/Floyd model in November sales. My only bass at the moment is this Stas Pokotylo Custom Made in Ukraine Bass. Fodera Monarch Copy. Guitarwise I currently have. Edwards Alexi Laiho Pinky Signature model. Jackson Brandon Ellis Sig Kelly. and a white Fender Tele. And for a laugh. This is me maybe 17 years ago? Edited October 11 by Asomodai HZR13, Tackle, ButcherBill and 2 others 3 2

To be honest Rob, ages back i googled your username, something I've done with a few unusual sounding usernames, wondering what the meaning was or where members sourced them from, & yours mentioned your musical history, originating from the bristol area if memory serves me ? I'm not a stalker, honest😜 Nick G, Lozart and HZR13 3
BristolVeteranBiker Posted October 23 Posted October 23 Throw mine into the mix a 90s MIJ Fender Tele but I don't think it's the one for me, mainly into Les Pauls and this tow dipping didn't really do it for me. Currently restringing and taking it to a dealer to get it authenticated as I think the bridge is a later bridge and a lot of the 90s MIJs were serial stamped.....on the bridge 🤣 HZR13 1
