Main guitar!

Rissan	Date: December 28, 2005 @ 2:48 AM which guitar do u own? how long has it been with u? do u like it? (if u own more than one, choose the most one u use!) how long have u been playing guitar? (first post/ thread for me)
Alecs	Date: December 28, 2005 @ 10:09 AM I have 3 guitars at the moment: Epiphone Les Paul, BC Rich Beast, and a Squire Strat which I built a new body for (it's still a piece of crap, it just looks cool). Let's not forget that i have an ibanez rg1527 (7-string) being shipped as we speak. I got the strat in november '03, the paul in oct. '04 and the beast in april '05. The strat was a starter so it blows, the Epi is pretty great, but I play my beast the most because it has 24 frets, lower action, a slimmer neck and a floyd rose tremelo. It's alright, the pickups suck though. I've been playing for just over 2 years. Welcome to DMusic, man!
zedsalt	Date: December 28, 2005 @ 10:55 AM I try to use all of these toys equally http://files.dmusic.com/music/z/e/zed/studio2.jpg but when I'm writing melodies on the guitar, it's usually the '86 Ovation Ultra (the only guitar I've ever bought new). My electric workhorse is the '72 Guild S100 Deluxe that I purchased 24 years ago. I've been playing guitar for about thirty-one years. Well, you know, not constantly...
EvilPicnic	Date: December 28, 2005 @ 11:00 AM I play a Hohner G3T, I've had it for a few months, and yes, I like it. It's ugly as fuck, but very versatile (although best at funky jazz and jazzy funk) and turns the heads of people who are used to guitars having headstocks and tuning pegs and other such things. I've been playing about 3 years.
mental-torture	Date: December 28, 2005 @ 11:03 AM I have 5 guitars. my favs are one of my fender strats with floyd rose 2 bridge and emg pickups. and my absolute favorite is my crappy gibson epiphone, why do i like it so much? well its been modified alot, the neck is perfect shape and everything right now. and on top of all of that, ive had it since i was 8... thats 9 years... im attached my other guitars are alright, but im just not really attached to them like i am with my gibson.
kingo	Date: December 28, 2005 @ 11:42 AM Holy crap, Zed... I want to come to your house and play with your toys!!! What the hell is that thing with the long, squiggly headstock that looks like a leaf?
DeadraveN	Date: December 28, 2005 @ 12:04 PM is that a didgeridoo? f'n awesome playroom zed!
Bhairava	Date: December 28, 2005 @ 12:13 PM My Jackson DK2S. I guess its kind of semi-proffesional I just really like it. I haven't bothered replacing the battery for the sustainic pickup for like 1 and a half years or something like that but its pretty cool. I guess I need to save up like £1000 for a new guitar at some point. Maybe get one custom made.
GreatGooglyM...	Date: December 28, 2005 @ 1:52 PM http://images2.dmusic.com/users/s/t/r/stratwizard/47630.jpg There they are. Plus my dad's bass...
zedsalt	Date: December 29, 2005 @ 11:09 AM Kingo, it's a "Polka-Lay-Lee". It sounds kind of like a ukelele, but with even LESS sustain and fullness to the tone. It's kind of a one-trick pony, but it's a nifty trick. Not in the pic, but probably to be pressed into service soon, is an old banjo uke that's in serious need of repair. DeadraveN, yeah, that's a didj. It has a fiberglass body attached to a "real" mouthpiece, pretty nice tone. I recently had an epiphany about my embouchure that improved my didj playing immensely. The arghul in the corner, though, is a different story. That's one frustrating s.o.b to play.
victorsskull	Date: December 29, 2005 @ 11:30 AM I played a cheap samik guitar for sixteen years but now I have a jackson
edg	Date: January 1, 2006 @ 5:50 PM I have 10 guitars. Here's most of them: http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b364/MrSteed/allguitars2.jpg Back Row: Parker Mojo Fly, PRS Custom 22, Phiga Hybrid Front Row: 50th Anniv Am Deluxe Strat, L5S, Super 400CES, L5S, 50th Anniv 1954 MB Strat
Alecs	Date: January 2, 2006 @ 1:20 AM Phiga? Never heard of em
GreatGooglyM...	Date: January 2, 2006 @ 3:44 AM edg, that's a nice collection there! I especially like the American Dlx Strat and the red Gibson in the middle.
Alecs	Date: January 2, 2006 @ 9:19 AM I dunno, that Phiga Hybrid is pretty cool.
killtrix	Date: January 2, 2006 @ 10:43 AM Main guitar is a black Epiphone Flying V ,Love the sound of that guitar,classic metal sound at it's best.
edg	Date: January 3, 2006 @ 1:32 PM Thanks! It's funny that no one ever points to the L5S's. The most awesome solid body guitar on the planet! I like em all though.
zedsalt	Date: January 4, 2006 @ 11:18 AM I have never ever never heard an L5S owner speak of his/her axe with anything but the highest praise. I'd call it an underrated guitar, but there are a lot of them out there, and their owners are fanatical.
edg	Date: January 4, 2006 @ 11:56 AM There's a lot out there? Not to my knowledge. They aren't all that easy to find. They only made them during the 70's. Gibson has reissued it, but I still don't see many. Plus, the reissue has only 1 pickup. What were they thinking?! I got my first one in 1980. Traded in my LP Deluxe for it. Best thing I ever did.
GreatGooglyM...	Date: January 4, 2006 @ 3:25 PM I was looking those L5S's and thought "That's a weird looking LP" Anyway, I've never liked the feel of a LP, but I'd like to try those out.
edg	Date: January 5, 2006 @ 11:42 AM If you ever get the opportunity to try one, do it! Keep your eye on ebay for these, and if you have some spare cash buy one immediately! If ever there was a guitar destined to go WAY up in value it's the 70's L5S. It's pretty much a lock: 1) Limited Production run. 2) The highest end Gibson Appointments and crafting. 3) Built like a tank. 4) Plays like butter. 5) Sounds great. My first cost $750 used in 1980. My second I got off ebay a few months ago for $3K. It will easily sell for $4K. I was exchanging email with an ebay seller who just sold his for $5K (originally asking 10). In another few years I think these will be in the 5 figures min. The supply will dry up.
