The Guitar Pron Thread

[Anton Chigurh 3,319]

Who here owns an American Special Tele? Skinny on the pups/circuitry, jumbos, radius...etc pls...

I do, but man I hardly play and my opinion wouldn’t do you well I don’t think. I just have a lot of damn hobbies. I still like following this thread, I just don’t have much to contribute.

The neck is fantastic, though. It’s a 9.5” radius I think, which is the same as the Pros, it just has the less fancy truss rod or something. I personally like the Texas Special pups, and the greasebucket circuitry works well enough and isn’t intrusive or anything. Sorry it ain’t much info, but it’s a fine instrument. No contour, regular brass saddles (not compensated). It’s old school and it rocks.

I think I have a photo somewhere.

Found it.

Great looking guitar

Thoughts? I personally like to see them but I guess if i had a shitload it’s pretty practical

Is it much different than a hanging rack (besides way more expensive yet more appealing to the wife)?

As a guy living in earthquake country I would say yes.

[Celery Man 20,886]

link?  I would use that.

[Deej 76,568]

Cool, but I feel like I would need a butler to fetch my guitars.

[Celery Man 20,886]

I could envision a world where there's a cabinet with a few amps next to a chest of drawers full of guitars, maybe another with various accoutrements... a music stand a good stool

Here’s a video I saw a while back of Vince Gill and some other people at his place. Watch the first minute or so and you’ll see him pull out an acoustic from a drawer built into some book/music shelves. Pretty cool. 

 

[tbone_ 14,025]

Yea I’ve seen vids of his guitar drawers before. I’d prefer wall hangers myself.

I'm in the stands with snarks clipped to headstocks crowd....I like to daisy chain em.

Ok I am currently watching a Brian Setzer Rockabilly Riot concert on axstv. Let me unequivocally state for about the billionth time that he is a straight up monster player. Damn I’d love to be able to play like that.

Agreed, and he's a super laid back, nice guy.  Watch his interview with Dan Rather.  

I met him once in line at Antone's and he chatted for probably 5 minutes as if he were talking to an old friend.  Dude didn't know me from Adam.

[Buzzrock 14,871]

Dammit, no AXS on YouTube TV

I haven't posted on this thread in forever but I just can't help sharing my NGD. Martin 000-15M. Been wanting one of these for some time. She plays like butter, and complements my Taylor dread quite well.

I think there’s a strong reason why guys like this have long careers apart from playing ability. Being generally agreeable and nice makes more fans.

I like it, but if those guitars also have cases you have to store them somewhere, too.

Hell yeah. Great guitar. My silk and steels are getting pretty decrepit, I might put some regular strings back on mine for a bit. It’s my most played acoustic.

 

Post 1 in the thread. Same strings even... gross

[Buzzrock 14,871]

Congrats Art!

three years, two months. I remember it like it was yesterday. 

Mine will be 4 years exactly on the 20th of this month. Its 95% back to normal. I still have trouble reaching the 7th with my pinky in the lower frets. I've adapted by just letting the bass pick up the root. Plus I got a gnarly ass scar to look at on my wrist.

Ugh. At least mine was my picking hand. Although being righthanded, everything else kinda sucks.

Interesting idea for hanging guitars.



Definitely requires the right room.

[Paul Wesley 3,277]

That’s bad ass.  

[VABuckeye 2,472]

Brick, hardwood, leather, guitars hanging on the wall.  What's not to like?

[Art Vandelay 1,710]

I love everything about that.

In case of emergency, break glass.

[noharleyyet 2,837]

Friend of mine owns this rig. The strat might just be the most playable guitar I've ever touched. He knows his shit on wrenching, playing , and has an enviable collection of 3 nice electric Collings, a Gretsch, and a Collings and gibson acoustic.

That’s some old-man guitar shit right there.  This is ROCK N ROLL for Christ’s sake.  What that room needs is a bunch of cigarette butts, a couple bottles of Jack laying around, and a syringe and surgical tubing.

Just going to leave this here...

Impulse purchases are fun.  Went to the local guitar shop for lighter stings for my acoustic today.  I purchased way over my skill level. They had a Aspen green Gretsch 5420t hanging on the wall.  I wanted it.  It had a huge scratch on the back. Tomorrow I pick up my new Aspen green Gretsch, a non display model without the scratch.  Is this going to be Porn worthy?

Funny, I thought it was missing pot smoke and coke whores.  Maybe one of NMA's ex stripper wives.

A Monoprice Tele knockoff ($99) would be porn-worthy.  Let's not get all highfalutin here.

Used condoms.

And scarves, lots of scarves...hanging over lamps, etc. 

[tbone_ 14,025]

Used condoms.

Paternity lawyers are more rock and roll

That's cool.  But whenever I see pics like that with musical instruments, I'm the opposite of Indiana Jones - it shouldn't be in a museum!  If it's functional, someone should be playing it on a stage.
