Be nice to see some crusty new shite though, maybe a Scala or two.

In terms of guitars, I wonder how many of us prefer new over used/abused/vintage... maybe someone should start a poll.Dharmajester wrote:Be nice to see some crusty new shite though, maybe a Scala or two.
Re: Tell us about your one favourite guitar
Amazing guitar collection you've got. Would be cool to hear a bit more about each of the guitars and I'm also interested to know what amps you've got given the quality of the guitars...thegreengod wrote:Its early 60's as it doesnt have the reflector knobs yet and the neck is not very slim. Its it in the middle. Not fatty but I do love the fatties. Rewound was done by senor Seymour Duncan in the 90s. Alas no flame, i know you guys love the ones with flame. The tuners has been replaced by repro tuners and doesnt have original case. I do swap it around with the goldtops case when I do. And if anyone ask at a gig what year? I reply a 96! They lose interest after wards. Keeps the wolves at bay HahaGrantB wrote:Close enough. Who did the rewind? Early or late 60? Cherry soda or tomato soup? What's the circumference of the Earth?

Id have to sell everything I have to get a '59 Les Paul haha I do have a '60 Les Paul does that count? Both pickups have been rewound and a volume knob has been replaced so not all original anymore but im quickly like that i like players guitar not museum pieces.

Re: Tell us about your one favourite guitar
I don't like new very much. Tend to stop liking it during the break in.
Once it's broken in it's all well and good mind.

Same with me. I really like the feel of a nicely worn-in guitar though.Molly wrote: I'm happy with either. Comes down to the guitar at t'end of t'day.

I prefer a bit of wear and tear so I don't have that trauma of giving it the first dent or scratch

Late to the thread and all that vintage porn will be a hard act to follow
Here's my ASH Aurum. Adrian's modern interpretation of an LP.
Fijian mahogany body and neck, rosewood board, maple top. SD Alnico 2 pickups.
Ordered Jan09, and picked up Oct09, so a bit of patience is a must if you're after a custom built guitar.
