My new uke!

I love Koa. I once had a Gibson J-200 Koa, which I adored. I traded it for a Martin D-28H, which I also no longer own. That J-200 had a uniquely warm quality to it. I always liked to think of it as a big giant uke (not really, but I had to tie it in somehow).

Go Hawaiian!!

All right. Time to inject a little life into this thread.

This is my PRS Hollowbody II. "10" top and back.

No hysteria please.

 

[wundergussy]

That, my friend, is a sweet axe.

 

[strat1117]

That, my friend, is a sweet axe.

Thanks. It plays as good as it looks, although there is always an adjustment period switching back and forth between this and the Strats.

Man all those beautiful les pauls Really make me want to grab my warlock and start trying to learn so I get good enough to be worthy of owning one. picking up the guitar as a 24 year old with partial nerve damage in my left hand is going to be a challenge though

I picked up guitar at 22 with a pretty well trashed left arm from a farm equipment accident. I play lefty because of it. Give it a try, you might surprise yourself.

I don't have any pics right now, but here's what I have:

1973 Gibson SG Special: Originally red but has faded to a nice brown where it has been exposed to light. It is still red under the small pick guard. Mini-humbuckers. I need to get a frett job done asap!

19?? Fender '52 Reissue: Butterscotch. Third owner. Original owner tried to make it look "old" so he abused the %&*! out of the top and corners with a screwdriver or something and put a birdseye maple neck with no truss rod and Danny Gatton blade pickups. Second owner (a friend of mine) painted some psycedelic crap on the top and sprayed it with clearcoat, but only taped off about half the width so there was some overspray on the back half of the sides. I gently removed the crappy painting and put a maple Fender '52 replacement neck on it. I haven't swaped out hte pickups yet, but if I keep it I will. I never liked the sound of the Gatton pickups.

Fender Blues Jr amp. This thing packs a lot of power in a small package. I played an outdoor show with it. The other guitarist had a '65 Fender head of some kind and two speaker cabinets. His volume was somewhere around 3 or 4. Mine was on 6 and just a full and loud as his.

My BC Rich Warlock and Dean 4-string

Thank you Niel,
I am still trying to decide which pickups to put in it.. I am thinking either SD White Blackouts or EMG Actives.. Just not sure yet!

Cheers,

Fender Fat 50's or, if you can get them, the Eric Johnson custom shop pickups are also good choices. I tried the David Gilmour EMG set up in one of my strats, but didn't love it. Of course, that doesn't mean they aren't right for you -- they just weren't right for me.

Enjoy!

Charlie - Those MIJ Strats are very well regarded, and yours is great looking! I can't imagine how loud your Major was. They're fairly desirable because of their rarity, but so unruly that few people can actually use them. My 50-watt is ludicrously loud (to me anyway).

This is my 2005 Les Paul Standard Faded (Honeyburst) and then my 1999 Peavey Wolfgang Special (Purple)

I don't think I have posted a photo of my primary acoustic guitar yet, so here is my Martin D41. This is by far and in every way the best acoustic guitar I have ever had the pleasure to play. Sorry that I couldn't get a better picture of the inlaid center stripe.
