Great Guitars

[AtlBraves]

As a guitar player I love looking at pictures of great guitars so I thought it would be cool to start a thread displaying pictures of great guitars you either own or have seen.

I will start it with a pic of my church worship leader's guitar that he will be unveiling this week.

77552

[BigDaddy]

That is a very cool picture and a sweet guitar.

[E. Blues Gomer]

I'm not a fan of the name but here is the finished Robin Fleetwood that belongs to my friend Randy

[ibanez_player]

I don't remember where I got this picture, but check the back of this amazing Charis!

[Les_Is_More]

Here is a picture of me playing my precious fender strat.

[matt15]

hope to get a burst like this someday.

[matt15]

and here's one of the more unique guitars i own.

[ibanez_player]

and here's one of the more unique guitars i own.
didn't you build that one?

[Someone]

My now gone (stolen) Carvin TL60.

And my still-somewhat-new Carvin Bolt!

[matt15]

didn't you build that one?


nope. the one i had built is the one on the far right in this picture (also a very unique guitar).

This will be pretty when it gets done

[matt15]

some nice wood there....do you have a photo of the basic design you're gonna turn it into?

[ibanez_player]

nope. the one i had built is the one on the far right in this picture (also a very unique guitar).

Ah ok, got it. :)

[ChristinChic788]

I made a collage of many guitars and some equipment.

[E. Blues Gomer]

Three knobbed version of this with a custom color

[AtlBraves]

NICE!!! that guitar is going to look sweet when finished. Be sure to post a pic of it when you are done.

This is the guitar I hope to have in a few years I currently have a black Ibanez that I will post as soon as I can resize my picture of it.

77780 You can't go wrong with Goldtop

[larryl]

i hear good things about those agiles. i know they are inexpensive, but from what i read and hear, they are a fine LP copy, for the money....or even for more money.

[ChristinChic788]

Goldtops are one of my favorite guitars. I also like Black Beauties.

[kapela316]

this is my favorite guitar :D
its signed by: third day, casting crowns, delirious?, david crowder, chris tomlin, josh bates, the afters, newsboys and 2 of the jars of clay guys

[E. Blues Gomer]

that's cool

[AtlBraves]

Well I finally got around to getting a pic of my guitar. Here she is.

78143

[bdfwinn]

Here she is, 2001 Godin LGX 2 Voice with a figured maple top and transblue finish.

The cabinet set into the wall has a glass door and was built by me because that guitar is too pretty to be locked away in a case. Plus it makes yanking it down for a quick fix that much easier.

[AtlBraves]

Here is a pic of a friend of mine's bass. She is very proud of it.

Also the group of musicians we are in like to name every instrument that we own. She cannot come up with a name for it yet so anybody with a good name for this bass please submit.

78178

[ChristinChic788]

That's a beautiful bass.

Here's mine. its the blue one

[AtlBraves]

Here is another pic of the bass that i submitted up above. The picture I took really does not do it any justice at all.

Remember to submit names for this bass as well.

78367

[danbos]

I like Tai's bass that he's been using on this tour.

[E. Blues Gomer]

Here's an unique one

http://www.hamerguitars.com/pics/news/5neck_photo.jpg

[AtlBraves]

I like Tai's bass that he's been using on this tour.

Does anybody have a pic of it. His basses are always nice.

[danbos]

Here's one that I found from the concert photos.

78371

[ChristinChic788]

I love all of Tai's basses. His new Fender Jazz basses are awsome, but I still love the Musicmans also. My OLP is an offbrand(sp?) of a Musicman. My bass choice was inspired by Tai as well as my playing. :)

[AtlBraves]

One guitar I love is Mark's corvette PRS. Does anybody have a good picture of it.

[AtlBraves]

Here is a crazy guitar called Cheap Trick, check it out.

[chicken]

Here is my most recent purchase (PRS Custom SE). I was at the show last week in Columbia and Mac played a guitar that looked similar to mine (I was far away and my sight ain't so good). Does anyone here know it he plays one?

I'm not sure about Mac, but I know Mark plays PRS guitars. He has several of them.

[AtlBraves]

I'm not sure about Mac, but I know Mark plays PRS guitars. He has several of them.

There is a thread on here of when Mark and HyperStatic Union visited the PRS factory. If you go to the link it has the list of guitars he plays.

[ChristinChic788]

Here's come cool wallpapers from musiciansfriend.com

[ChristinChic788]

This one is really cool.

[AtlBraves]

Love the eagle one. I Love all things that have to do with patriotic stuff like that. You really cannot go wrong with the eagle and the flag.

[ChristinChic788]

Another one, and I just noticed that the last post hit me at 1,000

[ChristinChic788]

Here's another eagle one.

[ChristinChic788]

Here's one for the Star Wars fans. Like me :)

[ChristinChic788]

Here's a funny one.

[AtlBraves]

Are these wallpapers of actual guitars or are these just simple guitars with stuff photoshopped in. Hopefully they are not because the Star Wars one is SWEET!!!

Also love the other Eagle, nice way to hit 1,000 with a patriotic salute lol.

[ChristinChic788]

Rock it out Frosty. lol

For even more of these wallpapers and some others visit musiciansfriend.com and click on Fun Zone, and then wallpapers. To view past ones, scroll down and click Archives. I will say that there are some pretty weird ones though. ;)

[E. Blues Gomer]

Yes the StarWars one is real... it's a Fernandes limited run when the prequel trilogy started.

It is similar, it's not exactly the same model, but it's close. I'm not exactly sure what model it is.

This guitar is anything but awesome, but its only my first.

[larryl]

nothing wrong with an indiana.... they make some great guitars, on an amazing budget.

[BlueEyedBeauty]

Here is a pic of a friend of mine's bass. She is very proud of it.

For some reason I really think this bass is awesome :D .

[imperfect]

Ok...I know we have done this in the past.
Mine are acoustics.
Larrivee OM-O5 which is way too much guitar for this novice, but great.
It's so LIGHT!
My Ovation Celebrity, which is just right for me.
Hold on kids...cuz I just ordered the Blueridge Gospel. IT'S AWESOME.
I played someone's at the guitar shop and had to have one for my own dang self.
I love looking at guitars. Thanks for posting these.

[larryl]

i like the blueridge product a lot. saga is splitting them off into their own company, so prices will likely go up soon...... a friend bought a gospel not long ago, and he sings it's praises constantly.

i'm planning to pick up a bg-140 in the next couple of months......

http://www.sagamusic.com/catalog/details.asp?ProductID=BG-140

they are giving gibson and martin a scare, with far lower pricing, and good quality instruments....

Yes indeed. The quality of the woods are impeccable. The lower pricing is the "made in China" export.
But they play like a dream and the neck isn't as wide as my Larrivee so my little hands can reach across better.
I am so excited. It's my early birthday present!

50th Annv. American Std. Strat....Martin Acoustic Electric

[BigMick]

I fell in love with this guitar and hopefully I'll get to own it one day. Yeah, maybe one day when I come up with $1300. It's the Takamine EF508KC All Koa Acoustic-Electric. It gives me goosebumps.

No, he's a Baptist. lol
I kill me. :D

[E. Blues Gomer]

nah... the guys in Tejas are building it for me.

[The MAc]

I love this guitar. I'm saving up for it. It's a Red Wine Les Paul Custom.

Wow, that's a nice looking guitar. I just played a sunburst version of that guitar at the local guitar shop a couple days ago...sounds very nice too.

[daizyraine]

Hi! Loraine from the Sunny Okanagan.
New to this forum stuff, please bear with me.
thot i'd check out to see what all guitars you guys all have..cool, some neat guitars... i actually own 5 guitars, myself..

ps. am not a guy.. fall into the gal category...;)

Anyways... i have a winston guitar... sorry no picture yet..
Anyone ever seen or heard of them? they were made sometime in the late '60s, by a japanese company (Teisco mij).
I've never seen another one like this one..
It's banjo-shaped, bright red, with a whammybar? hollow body, with a cutout, and of course its electric...
just curious...
Found a winston mandoliin on ebay.. but been having problems finding anything on the guitars.. dont know that there were a whole lot of them made, either....
Lets see, what do i have at home... I have a fender, cortez, anjo, some noname electric and of course my winston...
Not a snazzy jazzy player...more of a lazy player... i play well enuf to accompany myself, or friends, or with worship team...

[Godgrl Gomer]

You know...I never thought that I could spend ages just gazing at guitars and marveling at their beauty. Actually, I never paid much attention to them until I bought Elijah's guitar last year. Now I am hooked!

I have no idea about brands or anything...so I figure I stick with what 3D plays;) :rolleyes: :D

But gees...they sure are purty...lol:P

[danbos]

Not the bestest guitar out there...but here's mine, I think it's pretty nice looking. It's a vintage sunburst Epiphone Les Paul Studio.

thats kool! i'm waiting for a blue mustang electric. I cant wait!

[RevZeek]

No, he's a Baptist. lol
I kill me. :D

*snort* :P That's funny right there!

I'm currently playing a Taylor 355ce. I'm one of those weird folks that all I own is a 12-string acoustic! I want a 6 string eventually but I really like playing the 12.

[Someone]

Here's the 2nd one i've been waiting for. Now I'm just waiting on the first.

Darn you and your incredible flame maple necks. I'm jealous! Not so much with the pickups scheme though. I prefer singles in the neck and 'buckers in the bridge. Over all though, great looking guitar.

[E. Blues Gomer]

bah.... can we say coil tap? on strat styles, i don't like the humbucker in the bridge anyway.

[Someone]

Coil tap is better than nothing, but having gone that route before, I can now say that it just isn't the same.

[E. Blues Gomer]

considering most humbuckers don't use their normal single coil formulas it usually lacks, but rio uses their normal single coil formula for their humbuckers as well. so it's so you can get that traditional single coil sound.

[Someone]

I didn't know that...I'll have to consider them in the future if it is the same thing...

[3D_KJ]

A couple of pics of my "new" 03 Epiphone Les Paul Standard Plus. The heritage cherry sunburst on it is just luscious! :D

I love the vintage vibe of my Danelectro 12 string also. I
wish I had a picture of my friends Gibson (I think it is an early 60's model)

This just walked into the shop

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y114/unkagreg/guitars/Robin/GreenSparklehuge.jpg

That is pretty cool. It is sort of a Tele/Strat Hybrid. I have heard a lot about Robin guitars. They have a great reputation. I bet they are pricey. Here is one I am working on getting (not a Robin though)

http://mysite.verizon.net/jdtieszen/Guitar%20Gear/images/surf.jpg

http://mysite.verizon.net/jdtieszen/Guitar%20Gear/images/rig.jpg

[E. Blues Gomer]

Actually the prices are very comparable to a Fender or Gibson... My Ranger is a higher end model (Ranger Exotic Top) with a custom neck w/ Flamey maple and I got mine for 1800 w/tax and There are Fender's in that range as well... I have an avalon on the way and it's in the price range of some of the Gibby's as well. but the quality surpasses both.

The Ranger is based off the old Fender PBass' and it's a mix between the Keith Richards Tele and a Strat. Tele pickup in Bridge. Geniune TX Neck Pickup and a tall boy in the neck

I'm normally a straight tele guy, but after buying this Reverend Buckshot, it's a toss up. These things have great sound, and more importantly, the neck from Heaven!

[E. Blues Gomer]

the guitar player from the stooges plays Reverend guitars... They're pretty cool.

WOW! How much did that cost(if you don't mind me asking)?

[E. Blues Gomer]

honestly still trying to figure that out.... my initial quote was 2199 but that was for a flame top. My last receipt of payment would sugguest a lot less

[Les_Is_More]

honestly still trying to figure that out.... my initial quote was 2199 but that was for a flame top. My last receipt of payment would sugguest a lot less

That seems to me like a fairly resonable price. Have you compared the playabilty and sound to a Gibson?

[E. Blues Gomer]

The Robin is a far superior guitar hands down.... At least for me. The neck is a custom carve my local dealer did while he was in TX at the one reunion... His hands are roughly the same size as mine if not a little smaller, This guitar definately not for the shred heads.... The neck profile is similar to putting your hand around your wrist.... It's huge but comfy. Pickups are like the Gibson 57 PAF's on Steroids. Very ballsy when cranked but roll back and you got good crisp cleans.

Quality

You're talking about producing a few guitars a day verses a few thousand an hour (I'll put it this way the serial number on this guitar is 070195, my others are 140 and 145 of the respective year (first 2 digits being the year) Robin only makes no more than 1000 a year, that's the way it's always been.

The time a real person spends on a single guitar at robin shows. They do use a cnc machine to do rough cuts but everything else is all done by hand. I have never played a Robin I didn't like, Gibsons, Fenders, Epiphones, even PRS I find it hard to fall in love with every single one. . I'm always an advocate for the little guys.... Small guitar companies, Small guitar stores, whatever...

I have my fair share of Fender, and Epiphones and there's a few gibsons i wouldn't mind having if I found the right one, but the guitars I play the most are my Robins and my Hamer Jr.

Gibson's quality is hit or miss unless you go custom, where as each robin is technically a custom order anyway for around the same price as a base USA Fender or Gibson.



Pricing... I think pricing it's a better value. If you are going by retail pricing this Gibson is about 1k more
http://images.guitarcenter.com/products/optionlarge/Gibson/230131jpg.jpg

for the most part you're paying for the brand name.

[E. Blues Gomer]

link to photos when I was at Houston visiting robin... You'll see the slab that was supposed to be my guitar... There was an error so they upgraded my top.
