My 8 year old can relic that for you. P.M. me for price and deposit requirements.
 
My baby. Missing some strings and I'm missing some teeth, but it don't matter! You know why? Because tone is in the fingers motherfuckers! I could play a fucking toilet paper roll with a string attached to it and it'll still sound like ME!

I love all my guitars but would have to choose my Drop Top.

This is my favorite. Its the best guitar I've ever owned, as well as affordable. It's the benchmark for all other guitars I buy. Not a custom, but it definitely holds it's own.

Without question my Kramer Sambora models from the late 80's are my 2 favorites. They just feel right to me. No matter what I always sound good with those guitars.

The one I hack away on the most, for obvious reasons. Not the easiest to play. Currently in ther Guitar E.R. getting frets polished and new PU's

Nice, which Hendrix model is that?
Guitar ER is a good place, things get done right and fast.

I'm glad to have found the place :thumbsup:

This is the 1997 Jimi Hendrix Tribute Strat they made for about 2 years I guess. Whatever '69 style pu's that are in there were ok except the bridge pu was too bright, low output.

So, I'm getting a 60's set of these Porter pu's Guitar E.R. carries. Reverse stagger, hotter bridge pu w/ baseplate.

Wow the black binding and hardware really look badass on a gold top. Awesome guitar! :rock:

Thanks man! I dig the looks too; rapidly becoming the only guitar I play anymore...

I'm generally a super strat player, but this R0 is pretty much perfection for me, overall fantastic player, super resonant and killer feel to the neck (doesn't look too shabby either):

WOW !
 
My 1969 Gold top Les paul with stars painted on it, hey it was 69. I got it from a family friend, I have the original reciept, it was bought on 4-21-69 and plays and sounds like a dream, hands down my favorite guitar I own :thumbsup:

I think I am convinced to go with a LP for my next guitar. I might be able to get a mint LP Menace (I know it is a bit fugly) for $400.

Other than that I am a huge Trivium fan, and I just stumbled across this... http://www.epiphone.com/News/Features/F ... ustom.aspx

It is cool that he is using the prototypes on the road, and in the studio to make sure they are 100% to his liking...Some artists don't seem to ever use their sig gear. I should be able to get one for about $600.
 
Here is my current love affair. Swamp Ash body, maple top. The blue kinda changes color depending on the lite source. Mary Kay back is kinda cool too. Weird wood combo I know but this sucker sings. it does everything well. The hums split with a push/pull tone knob to get extrememly good strat tones. Hit the blower switch and its Direct Bridge humbucker straight to the amp. Balls for days. .... :rock:

I likes me a goldtop as well. My 1971 modded Deluxe. Everything that is supposed to be wrong about a Les Paul, but sounds and plays SO right. As long as you don't mind a 10lb guitar. :lol: :LOL:

Nice guitar, how much was it in 1969?

What do you think of the Porter pickups?

Still waiting on it. I'll post something when I get it back.
 
Mine is hands-down my Suhr Pro M2. (Bridge pup changed out to a Tone Zone.) I haven't wanted another guitar (aside from eventually a full-on custom Modern) since I got it. I even ended up selling a few Strat mutts I had and passing my former #1 (99 AM STD w/mods) down to my son due to never playing them anymore. I kept all of my other superstrats, even though they don't see as much play time anymore. The neck shape fits my hand great, and the fine fret work and set-up makes it super easy to play all over the fretboard. Not to mention the sound is very lively. It bites without being shrill.
