***The Official Guitar Thread***

At one point I had 4 PRS, this is the only guitar that I sold, or Part-Ex rather for the Gibson.

Customer 22 Special, it has a single coil in the middle, with coil tap.

Yeah, in the space of about 18 months I must've spent a small fortune, but there is enough gear there to start my own band with pedals to boot. I don't get GAS for guitar gear anymore lol

I think this maybe your problem with practice...you may have suffered choice paralysis...

To pre occupied with fiddling with sounds than actually learning anything..

My first guitar was a scabby Hohner Strat copy in sunburst...not even an amp as I was a skint 15 year old...but I played that thing 8 hours a day...

I’ve seen people with 3 guitars and loads of pedals in bands before and they were crap guitar players...I’ve seen people with one guitar , one amp and they blew my mind growing up...

When I was in my blues band in my twenties...I had a An American Tele and a Fender blues deluxe...that was it...the less I had to carry to gigs the better :p

No other pictures.. I really should have taken some :(

Who knows, I may trade some in against an SG or a nice Strat but I'm not in any rush. I can't even get in the room where the amp is at the moment.. that's this weekend's plan!

Of all the guitars I've owned or sold I really only want a LP, Strat, SG, PRS Custom 24 and my EVH frankenstrat. In my mind, that's enough of a range that I would be happy with as a complete collection. I got my Wolfgang on a whim, sold my Clapton Strat when I got divorced :)() and got given the PRS Singlecut... they're not the guitars I idolised over like I did with a LP, hence why I decided that I'd buy something now.

Question: those with multiple guitars... do you have them hung on the wall? I'd like to, as some are buried in a case which makes me sad. Thinking about a small 5-guitar stand from Amazon to at least get rid of the bulk.

I hang my main ones on the wall...the others are in my studio in a fender stand case tweed...



You sold a PRS custom 22 too?

Yeah, I needed money whilst going through a divorce... the custom 24 was a present from my parents and my first guitar worth more than £100 so I said to myself that I’ll never sell that.

I basically chose the one that I liked the least and sold it. Bit gutted now, but I’m slowly getting the set up I want :)

True, I spent my formative years learning bass, then picked up the 6 string in my mid 30s and haven't really got the proficiency I've got on the bass, and my
guitar talent has stalled at merely perfunctory and average.

I saw Steely Dan at Glasgow the other day and spent most of the time being depressed at how good the [ session ] guitarist was and how crap I was .

Don’t compare yourself to anyone in steely Dan !

I’m after an American Jazz Bass ...what bass you got ?
 
I know this is Guitars but just exploring Youtube and found this...Ponty doing his thing


This is just perfect...RIP Zappa and utilising great musicians...Ponty, man that solo on Fifty Fifty gets me every time :)

I don't want to speak too soon but after years of kind of stagnating in my playing I feel like I've finally been making some progress lately :)

There's a series on Anderton's TV channel where they teamed up with Justin from JustinGuitar to do a series where he tries to teach Lee Anderton some theory (and Lee, like me, is self-confessed not that comfortable with it or hasn't really tried)... The format of it is really good (basically just being a fly on the wall for a lesson from a really good teacher, but with someone as confused by theory as you asking questions etc)

Aren't you relatively new to guitar?

I've been playing since 1999 and only have 6 guitars.. maybe I just don't buy enough or have sold too many :p

I've been playing since about 2003 and have 14 guitars at the last count. Can never have enough guitars :)

20w??

I only buy 100w heads :D
Click to expand...

Yeah the new reissue put like last month is 20w that goes down to 5W. It sounds great from all the clips. However I read a post from an amp tech on his comment on the internals of it, long story short is that it was good but certain parts is built to a price point like the PSU could be larger etc.

I’m happy with what I’ve got...I’m the guy with all the gear but no idea when it comes to playing. Think I’ll get myself a teacher this year and have a proper go at it.
