Any guitarist here?

I see that some here may play. Figured I'd post some pics of mine. Would be interested in what others here are playing. I am very partial to old Kramer guitars from the 80's myself.






A few amps....

I don't play guitar much, normally bass, however haven't been playing much of that either and sadly let the top one go. She was my baby and loved her since the day I brought her home, but seeing I haven't been playing or doing any gigs she needed to go.

I've been playing for about 13 years now. Lately I've been thinning out the collection though...I mainly play acoustic for the most part anymore.

A few weeks ago I did something extremely difficult, in selling basically my entire electric guitar rig. I had a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier half stack, and an original 69 Fender Strat. It was a great sounding rig...but I'm moving on to something different. Later this year, I'm planning on getting a new Strat...I'm still undecided on which one, but I'm leaning towards the Fender American Special Fat Strat, which is a new model.

My first guitar was a Deluxe Double Fat Strat, which had dual humbuckers. I loved that guitar...but unfortunately it got stolen out of one of my old apartments, along with a Crate half stack that I used to have. I've always wanted to replace that guitar, but I think I'm going to go one better and get a similar guitar, that's much nicer.

The American Special is basically the same(that ones even the same color scheme as my old one), aside from having an HSS configuration, instead of dual humbuckers. It's also American made, and has some higher quality parts...hotter pickups etc. I'm pretty excited about getting it...but it's not going to be until late spring or so when I'm working full time again.

Shortly to follow, is going to be either a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb reissue, or '65 Twin Reverb reissue.

The only guitar I'm really playing is my acoustic, which is nothing to really write home about. A lower end Epiphone PR-150...but it's been modified with higher quality tuners, nut/bridge/pins etc...and sounds much better than it's price would lead you to believe.

Before any of the electric rig gets replaced though...I'll be getting a new acoustic. I'm down to two possible choices...the Martin DC1E, or the Taylor 310ce


I also have a very modest bass rig...My bass is basically a mutt. It's a combination of a few different basses, but as far as I can tell, it started life as a Fender P bass a long time ago. I've also got a 12" 50 watt Crate bass amp...which is nothing to write home about.

My current electric rig is pure garbage IMO. I've got an ESP M100...which I really don't like. It has a Floyd Rose trem...which really doesn't agree with my playing style. I've also got a 120 watt 2x12 Crate combo amp. My electric rig doesn't get used much now...I haven't even hooked it up yet in place of my Dual Rec and 69 Strat.


Hopefully in the next couple years or so, I'll get my guitar rigs somewhat stabilized to where I'm content with them. Then it's going to be time to start dreaming big...in the form of this...

American Deluxe Ash Stratocaster

It's a thing of beauty...I've had the pleasure of playing one several times.:)

Man, those are very cool. I only wish I had the talent to play one.

Nice collection guys. My 10 year has over a year now under his belt and really enjoys playing the guitar. No talent here though on my part.
