Anyone here play guitar?

[SuperStockAndy]

Stop it already Rob

[ValvEasy]

I have a 1978 Washburn Falcon I'm quite fond of. Can I actually play the thing? Well, that's debatable.

My first axe was a Washburn:) I have a Dean now, and we make a dangerous pair.

[Dragline]

A dangerous pair you say Sir?

I wager I can wield this better than most. Less than some.....

Perhaps an Mp3? I'll see what I can dig up..

Throw down! Love it...

BTW: Obligatory model reference:

If you peel back the outer windings exposing the inner wire, you have an incredibly realistic emergency brake cable. An actual cable has a coiled outer casing for a flexible sleeve with a solid cable operating the mechanical e-brake. A guitar string is an exact dead ringer....

Go to Guitard Center and buy the cheapest Ernie-Ball ###### they have and for a few bucks you'll have a stock pile of material. Including antenna's like Rich mentioned.

I always like to use different size treble strings for fuel lines

My first guitar was a Kay electric Strat knock-off...remember those from '64. Have owned and played Gibson Les Pauls, including the Anniverary Silver Burst Custom, a couple of accoustic Martins, a Gibson accoustic Dove (which I really liked) and now play a Fender Fat Telecastor (its got a Fender Telecastor pickup at the bridge and a humbucker at the neck with a 5-way switch) through a Fender Princeton chorus with a Digitech RP500 effects board. Of all the guitars I've owned over the many years I enjoy playing the Telecastor the best. Like Blues, Country Rock, Dire Straits, Eagles and others of that sound. Play my guitar at least once every day and can still rattle the windows....when the wife isn't at home!

Under the end table in the corner of my living room is a Fender side-kick Bass amp. There's ALWAY'S a bass on the stand next to it as I play several times a day. In the morning before work watching news/weather, before dinner, and sometimes while watching the tube at night...always playing.

This is my Epiphone copy of the 60's Gibson EB3-L in black.

Is this close enough for ya guys what i play?

Here are a few pics of the Guyatone that I played back in the day (196-1970). I haven't played it much since then and I got it out the other day and I fergot what I fergot how to play. Any way, here are some pic.

This is the Guyatone amp that needs some tubes.

This is the Standel amp. It's solid state and has two speakers in it. It's loud.

Well, that's it. I have sore fingers now from trying to play (remember) stuff that I used to play while I was in the Army.

Nice vintage gear Dan , I bet that Guyatone amp would sound great with some new tubes in her.

[Dragline]

That Standel is pretty mint. A nice OD in front of it would prob sound great.

Thanks guys, and Andy one of my brothers has some brand new tubes for it and all I have to do is go get them. One thing is, they're in Barberton Ohio and I'm down here in Lewis Center. I'll get up there one of these days and get them fer sure. The Guyatone amp has a real good sound to it and is worthy of fixing it up and gettin it back to soundin good. The Standel has a good sound to it also and it is LOUD. At home I have the sound set at about 1 out of 10 on the dial. I like them both. Dan

Ive been a bass player for over 30 years, still loving it. Good song to learn, I cut my teeth on Geddy Lee's bass lines for most of the early albums, and that was primarily why I played a Rickenbacker 4001 for years. Enjoy that practice!

Here is a vid clip(click the pic to view) of my Ibanez AEG 20 through my acoustic g-20 Amp.

[Shardik]

I've been building/repairing/restoring guitars and other stringed instruments for the last six years. Interestingly, I've only been seriously playing for two. My forte (get it? forte ) is old Scotish folk songs.

It pays dividends here too.

I think that's the remains of a D string.

Since Christmas 1964, another obsession. Here are a few of my 47 year collection:

[Chuck Most]

Bit of sad news- lost a legend today... I'm sure many guitarists have had a connection with Marshall Amplifiers.

Bonus points to whoever made this banner for the Spinal Tap reference.

[250 Testa Rossa]

I play only surf music. My setup includes a 1963 Fender Showman 100watt tube amp with a 1x15 cabinet, a 1963 Fender reverb tank, a 1954 Fender Stratocaster, and a 1961 Strat that I'm restoring to "Dick Dale" specifications. It's gonna look sweet when it's done, and I'm gonna surprise Dick Dale if I finish the guitar in time for his next concert.

[deja-view]

May Marshall go to music heaven for his contributions to great sound.

Wow, Garry! That's an amazing collection. I love the older Fender amps...especially the bass. I never could figure out why the bass in the Fenders (even the smaller ones) seemed to sound so much deeper and richer than my 15", tube amp-on-top Gibson. To me, the Gibson sounded "plunky" while the Fender was a deeper thump that got inside you. I remember those Standell's, too, for their crisp, clean sound. Gorgeous stuff compared to the "workmanlike" Marshalls.

[zot]

Very nice, Gary! I'm A bass player. Have to post my basses when I get a chance.

[SuperStockAndy]

Michael Kelly Patriot Limited. $600 guitar, got it for $400 lightly used It's a great guitar, the Grover tuners are so dang smooth!

[SuperStockAndy]

I got a new amp

Line 6 Spider III 15, stolen for $40.

It gets brutally loud and still sounds good too!
