Guitars you Want!

... just the curves of the body, the feel of the neck and the sound of the voice.

I've just spent a few days getting back into some of my humbucking geetars (a Les Paul, an SG, and an Explorer with hottish P90-types)... very nice it was too, eventually... and at the end I picked up a strat again and the few days were wasted!

Incidentally, out of those, the SG is the one that feels most "natural" to me when I'm in one of these strat-moods like I am at the moment.

I currently have my eye on two guitars the first is the exact same model as what i have but in a nice red flame rather than the black flame i already have



and the other is something ive been looking for ever since i had to sell my Ibanez 1982 Rocket Roll

a classic shaped V with no pickguard, in white and with only a volume control



Before you wonder about the single control thing i have going on. It's because i never found the tone pot useful whatsoever so unwired them from my les paul and i found that this brightened the tone up a bit and gave it a sweeter edge.

So now i sware by it nowadays

Woo, nice one

I am almost GAS-less, I have all the guitar types I need for the moment. And my Variax bass is doing perfectly well for recordings... but I'm starting to get cravings for real ones of my favourite bass models... a Rick of some sort (think "Beatles" Paul McCartney's or Geddy Lee's, or "Deep Purple" Roger Glover's use of one), or... a Jazz

And that looks.. hmmm... woof!!

(By the way, the penny has only just dropped for me over your avatar and your user name - me and the missus have watched "The Belles of...", "The Pure Hell of...", and "Blue Murder at..." over the past few nights We've had them for ages, and watched them a fair bit, but I've not made the connection before)

I thought I was mostly out-o-gas,
but now am thinking maybe a nice SG would sound really nice in the electric department.


And for next summer camping season would not mind trading in my current Fender CD-60ce campin guitar for a Martin DX-1 .

Oup's I did it again,
Or so the wife says.
Went and put out that GAS fire for a SG.

Picked up a Epi SG G-400

[Speed Demon]

I want them all! Give me yours.

Has anyone on here had any experience of Gretsch Sparkle Jets / Due Jets / Electromatics? I like this green sparkly one, which probably makes me a bit weird 

I'm not sure what sort of reputation the Gretsch solid-bodies have; they seem to be very much in the shadow of the famous Country Gentlemen, Chet Atkins and White Falcons etc.

Since Gretch=Fender, I can't imagine it being a bad instrument. It's Fender's way to make an LP copy similar to how Gibson uses its Epiphone brand to make Strat models....

  As far as I know, Fender don't own Gretsch and I've never seen an Epiphone Strat in my life.
