Guitar Gallery Thread! Post 'em up!

Post by HeeBGB »

OK! In lieu of starting a new section devoted to clips or guitar pics I decided to go with a new thread.

This is a pic of my number one. I acquired it as a total mess (see pics). I sent it to Lays Guitar in Ohio for restoration. All the routes were squared up and filled with Mahoghany blocks. Then the top and back were milled by 1/8" I think to make room for a top and back Mahoghany lamination to hide the filling blocks so I could go with a see-through finish. It has a Wolfetone Mean P90, Pigtail lightweight Wraparound Bridge, studs and bushings, CTS pots from RS Guitarworks (The ones they sold before getting their own taper), A Hoveland tone cap snd Original 50's black Plastic knobs. Oh....and the pickgard and control cavity cover was custom made by Pickgardian. Tuners are repro Klusons. All the work was done WITHOUT removing the neck so the neck joint has never been disturbed although the rest of the guitar was very disturbing when I got it :lol:

It is my number one because it is just THAT good. It is far more resonant than anything else I have. It just has something going on for me that is greater than the sum of its parts.

I have a lot of appreciation for Juniors and P90s in general.

Here's the No.2. (ain't showing No. 1)
from a north Texas pawn shop.
There was a Lifton case next to the gun cases.

It leaves a trail of gold dust wherever you take it and turns your arms and hands green.
It sounds like the devil howling at your door.

My girlfriend took this picture of it in the bath in a TX ghost town.
Also have a GA40 to go with it.

Oh lord...I love these threads. Here's my favorite, although I haven't been playing it much lately. 2000 Gibson Historic R9. I've modded this out with steel studs/posts, Throbak nos wire PAFs, vintage cloth wiring, 500k+ pots, pio caps, and it sounds and plays incredible. I aged all the hardware suspending it over a bath of muriatic acid.

This isn't my #1 but it's a cool guitar nonetheless.
My first and only relic attempt.

You guys are brave!

If I showed a picture of a favorite, the rest of them would give me the cold shoulder for a long time. (But if you look at my avatar, it will reveal something ....... shhhhhhhhhhhhh ....... not a word, okay?)

I'll see if I can arrange a group-shot this weekend (though I dread it, it always seems an exercise in futility trying to get all of them to cooperate and smile at the same time). :wink:
