The Guitar Pron Thread

[Deej 77936]

I wish I had been with it. Killing Black Sabbath and Zep songs with that guitar.

[tbone_ 14510]

The other guitar player in my band does that with my Les Paul sometimes. He’s insanely good. I feel like I should just give it to him sometimes. But then I never do.

 

[Deej 77936]

I understand. He handed it back to me and said, "You should be very excited about this guitar."

...he's right.

Oh sure, now these cocksuckers finally put a Lake Placid blue tele on sale just when I'm spent out.

You sumbitches cost me 'bout five- fiddy.

 

 

[Deej 77936]

Like that color. 

[Celery Man 21119]

Yeeeeahhh

[tbone_ 14510]

Oooh

[Chad Fuck 18178]

That color is stunning. Nice shot!

[DougO 5269]

That's a phone pic with me holding an LED flashlight over it. Plays really nice out the box, just lowered the bridge just a tiny smidge. I need to get the pedals out and crank it to get the right sound, though. I still suck at playing it. If nothing else it will make the room look much nicer.

[DougO 5269]

The lack of dots or something in the middle of the board will take some getting used to.

[DougO 5269]

I used my Musiciansfriend points to get a $129 Gretsch case for almost free. Threw in a jet slide to get the discount to 15%, and I've been wanting to try one out.

[noharleyyet 2865]

....that is beautiful.

[hullabelew 3730]

Outstanding!  We Got A New Guitar!  

[topochico 1054]

Wow. That’s pretty much perfect. 

[DougO 5269]

I think the deal is still on.

This is world class guitar trolling.  I love it.

 

[Deej 77936]

And just FYI, Sweetwater is 48 months no interest on everything until the end of the month, and then sales tax also kicks in. 

[AnotherUTFan 10019]

Nice Gretsch DougO. Malcolm Young would be proud.

[Celery Man 21119]

If anyone in Austin wants to check those out in person, Strait (south) has a good selection.

Love the color.  It looks like the retro vinyl booth seating at a Chuy's, which is perfect for a Gretsch.

This should give me amnesty for the next time I'm seriously looking at a deal and don't pull the trigger...those rare occasions.

[AnotherUTFan 10019]

I brought the Les Paul home for a string change. Ended up getting a deep cleaning followed by a carnauba waxing of the body and fingerboard conditioning. No words for how much I love this guitar.

[Buzzrock 15186]

Hot damn nice work DougO! That’s a great looking machine.

I love how you never have to wonder “Is that a Gretsch?”

So I have this Casino Goldtop (maybe around 2008, I'll have to check; Chinese) that I never really bonded with.  It's cool, and it sounds good (especially through a cranked Bassman).  But you know.  Got rid of the vibrations with some felt under the pick guard and replaced the bridge.  Got it set up, but fiddled a little.  Has an Epi hard shell case that's nicer than the original for my 1970 Gibson ES335 by far (cushy). 

Every time I think of ebay or reverb, I plug it into that Bassman, let it rip, and end up keeping it.  But I'm thinking it would be cool to have it end up with a Surly player, especially with the Goldtop, which seems to be a quite rare Casino color.  I know it's the wrong forum, but.

Can probably meet up on my trips around Texas assuming its Houston, Austin, or Dallas (assuming you're in no hurry).

 

 

[Deej 77936]

What do you want for it? If not me, I have a buddy who is a Casino nut, and he doesn't have a gold one.

Asking for a friend.....

[Deej 77936]

AUTF's LP and Goredho's are brothers from another mother in terms of looks. I may need another LP.

@AnotherUTFanWhat did you use to condition the fret board?    And the wax on the body?  

Edited September 12, 2019 by hullabelew

I bought this kit after I fucked up the finish on my SG several years ago. It saved that guitar, along with a lot of elbow grease.

I'd love to get $500, but I'd give your friend a "nice face" discount of 'bout four-fitty

I'm starting to feel a yearning for a mandolin.  That allowed in here?  Or is there a mandolin pr0n thread?

Can’t know if you don’t try.

[Deej 77936]

"And it felt like a sin, just to play that mandolin."

[DougO 5269]

Mandolin is fun. Weird at first, but once you get the feel of it it's pretty easy to pick out a tune and figure out some cool chord patterns. I have a Fender A-style Korean made mando I got at a pawn shop cheap years ago, haven't pulled it out in a long time.

[Buzzrock 15186]

Haven’t played mine in awhile either. I should figure out Battle of Evermore. And if you think you have callouses on your fingers now: mandolin strings are another level.

[hullabelew 3730]

I have a little Ovation mandolin that I LOVE.  Chords are easy to figure out.  Just the 4 low end strings of the guitar (E-A-D-G) flipped upside down.

[DougO 5269]

So the Gretsch deal is still on, but now Slickdeals is throwing in an extra $100 rebate. The DougO curse had to kick in at some point.

Apparently, the Slickdeals rebates are kinda sketchy, though.

That candy red hss is nice.

[Celery Man 21119]

Mandolins can constitute guitar pron for this thread. Also ukes, banjos, double points for guitarrons. Fiddles need to be on topic and no keytars.

[Bogeywon 2549]

Ok I’ve got the itch. Sell me a Gretsch
