Cool shop. Played a nice duo jet for a bit.

Lots of nice stuff in there.

[Buzzrock 14937]

Is that a turkey dabbing on a guitar pick?

[ohchaucer 1443]

Well... Duh.

[the idoit 165]

It was either that or a Fender neck on a roasted bird... perhaps I chose... poorly.

[Chad Fuck 17748]

Where are the damn pics from the shop?

[DougO 5256]

My friend wanted to go to GC after our coffee meet-up this morning.

There's not much more depressing than Guitar Center on Black Friday with the same old shit they've had for the past year, but less. They did have a Fender t-shirt on sale for $9.99, but it was kinda ugly and cheap looking.

I need more different things to do.

[ohchaucer 1443]

So, but you got the shirt, right?

No, I don't need to add any more ugly and cheap looking to my persona.

Let me know what you think of the cleans. I’ve been contemplating buying a 1x15 to play pedal steel through.

After a few days with it, I really like the clean tones. Amp volume on about 10 o'clock, guitar dialed in to taste, and the cleans are like my Princeton cleans on steroids. Just beautiful.

[Celery Man 20996]

tigol, you've done great and all, but.... second place.

predictions for final bid?

Not much?  $4K?

Not sure where posts about vintage recording consoles go so I’ll just leave this here:

[jimmyjazz 46111]

Wow!

[Grandioso 2592]

Reverb has a new collection/category called "the gear of instagram." It has some pretty out there but really cool stuff.

 

[Chad Fuck 17748]

That's a very DougO-ish Jazzmaster.

This popped up in my feed today.  Pretty nice take on a Tele with LP Gold Top appointments:

Whoa. This rustles my jimmies.

That NES guitar is an actual playable NES. 

And I did not need to see the goldtop tele.

Oh momma

[Chad Fuck 17748]

Yeah it's a standout beauty.  

[Grandioso 2592]

I'm gonna have to get a Nash one day. I went to Infinity Guitars this week and sampled 4 amps. Instead of some MIM strat with fucked up action, I was handed a Nash T-52 to test them out. I freaking love that place. There isn't a piece of trash in the entire store. This is a pic of the axe:

[tbone_ 14148]

Idk about the fret markers on the gold top tele. I get it but I think it would look better with just dots.

Plus 28 hundo. Ouch.

You seem to be channeling Jimmyjazz a bit... but I agree on the dots.  Otherwise, that thing is smoke, though.  Man.

[jimmyjazz 46111]

Yeah, dots (as usual) but man the look of that neck otherwise . . . wow.

[Chad Fuck 17748]

Without the Gibson style inlays, it loses the concept.  I get the dot love here, but you have to appreciate that what they went for, they did pretty much perfectly.

 

[Chad Fuck 17748]

If I had one complaint, it would be that it was relic'd.  I'd love to see it showroom new.

But they did a great job on the relic'd look.

Yeah, and the P90s lessen the jarring look for me.  I sure wouldn't turn it down if someone wanted to give me one.

No, no, no...you've stated your disdain for anything but dots. It goes to me.

I don't mind the linen finish nor the markers....& don't mind the 90's with extreme prejudice. 

[Grandioso 2592]

Not a fan of relic'd guitars and I'm surprised the trend has gone on for so long and shows no sign of slowing down.

1) Relic-ing a guitar is my job, not the luthier's. I'm perfectly capable of delivering my guitars a proper beating, thank you.

2) It just seems fraudulent to get on stage with a guitar that looks like Willie's Trigger but was built like a month ago and cost $3,000. You haven't paid your dues, bro. Put down that guitar that makes it look like you've been playing 150 nights a year since the 70's. 

3) Eventually the "distressed" baseball cap/clothing trend seemed to go away. Why not this?

4) I wouldn't feel like I was getting my money's worth paying for a new guitar that wasn't in immaculate condition. 

[Deej 76902]

Some of us are running out of time to put 30-plus years of wear on a guitar.

This is funny and fair.

[tbone_ 14148]

I’m with grandioso on relics. I get it but they aren’t for me. I’ll wear out my own jeans and my own guitars thank you very much.

Now that I think about it I don’t think I’ve ever bought a used guitar. But I love used amps.

[Deej 76902]

I wouldn't buy one, but my relic strat was gotten in a trade for a guitar I didn't need, plus I got a load of cash in the trade. It's a fantastic guitar, regardless of how it's finished. The relic'd nitro is already showing my wear.

[Grandioso 2592]

I mean, if someone gave me a Relic'd Nash, Fano, Big Tex, Fender Custom Shop, K-Line, Suhr, Coop, etc., my anti-relic stance would soften pretty f'n quick. For instance, I guess I wouldn't throw these in the trash.

The back is awesome, but I've never been a gold top guy.

[Buzzrock 14937]

I like the relics. Guitars don’t wear like that any more (my 20 year old Strat shows almost no wear) so I wouldn’t mind paying for the look.

[Buzzrock 14937]

I saw Ghost last night and they were playing their Hagstrom Fantomen guitars. I don’t know what they were playing through but damn they sounded good.

 

 

Also the coupon code season15 will get you 15% off at Guitar Center right now.

 

[Buzzrock 14937]

[Celery Man 20996]

Yeah, I have a '98 strat and from 5 feet away it looks brand new.  And that guitar has a lot of hours and some miles as well.

I know a guy who has a Nash tele that looks pretty much identical to this one and it sounds GREAT.  I never knew or cared too much for the brand, but the only one I've heard in-person sounds freaking fantastic, and I don't think they're crazy expensive as "boutique" guitars go...

Agree with all of this. 

And like Celery's strat, I've got a couple guitars with hundreds of hours on them that still look pretty clean.  I can't imagine beating the shit out of a guitar to get to the condition of some of these "heavy" relic models.  I mean, I'd have to wear spiked leather bracelets and gloves with 60 grit sandpaper.  

[phdhorn 6224]

Well, it might not be a Ernie's Music Emporium blowout collector's item, but hey, it's technically a guitar, and it counts!

This thing has been a freaking blast to learn.  Same hand patterns as guitar (I mean, how many different ways can you play strings?), different chords, a bit of a learning curve, but not much.  I'm taking it on our 25th anniversary Caribbean island-hop sailing mainly for drunken singalongs on deck surrounded by booze and the ocean.

Uke and guitar together really actually sounds damn awesome. I'm amazed at the versatility of this little instrument... you can make it sound like a mandolin, a funky electric, or even a Segovian classical special.  It's an amazingly enjoyable pursuit.

Anyoneslse  here ever  diddle on a uke?
Anyway, here's the mrs. modeling for me.  Both have nice curves.

[jimmyjazz 46111]

Those Hagstroms, they're beautiful.  I'd probably tone down the pickguard a bit but that body shape is terrific.

Regarding 20 year old guitars that look brand new -- maybe it takes a true nitro finish to develop the wear?  My Fenders from early 90's had a pretty tough poly finish that eventually chipped a bit but there was no hazing or wear like you see on much older guitars.

[jimmyjazz 46111]

PhD:  nice body

[tbone_ 14148]

I think that’s right RE: nitro.
