Let’s see those beaters…..

This thing has been around the block. Motor City Solution in the bridge GFS cheap pickup in the neck.

B-stock Jackson SLXT (never quite found what denoted this being a b-stock instrument) with an X2N in the bridge - couldn't stand the EMG HZ in the bridge but I dig the one that came stock in the neck so kept it:

All mine are beaters…but I still love them and take care of them…?

‘73 Les Paul Custom. It definitely had a life before it got to me… Great guitar.

Here is my beater guitar, it is an old totally gutted Lotus with some 13-56 on them, I love playing it.

I like the neck. I play it as an acoustic sitting around.

Does my amputated RG550 count?

Pre lawsuit Edwards LPC with stock JB/59

1988 Charvel 475XL Special. Loaded with a custom bridge pickup I built and an OFR.

It was pretty beat when I got it.. so I continued the beating ??

36 year old Warmoth, relic’d the old fashioned way…

 

[Juggernaut]

2011 EBMM Stingray, once was the touring bass of the bass player from Flyleaf, bass has been beaten in the best way. Thing has serious mojo, plays like a dream and sounds even better.

How do you like the Noble Screamer? It's on my list for my hoarding problem...

Actually it's way too hot for me. Was planning on listing it soon.

I forgot to detail the worst offense on the JEM-

98% of that damage was from live shows. I’ve barely gigged any of my newer guitars, it’s no surprise most are still in mint condition. Anxious to see what the next year of dive bar gigging is going to do to them.

Some of them

 

[TotallyRadGuitars]

88-89ish Kramer Sustainer. Electronics long gone, was dusty as hell when I got it, pickups and hardware replaced, lots of chipping around the sides, headstock, neck worn down, no case.

But, fresh refret and really slick action... it gets a lot of play time from me because I feel like I don't have to treat it as nicely as some of my other stuff. Just a fantastic guitar. My previous "beater" was a Charvel 475 scratched to hell and back, and an Ibanez 540S which was missing the neck/middle pickups.
Normally I'd consider an "American" Kramer too nice to beat on, but this one has already been broken in, so why not.
