My Guitars
Hi everyone, I'm pretty new to this forum so I would like to show everyone my main guitars.
The first guitar is my 1979 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe in Ebony. I only recently acquired this guitar after spending a couple of years trying to find the right Les Paul. I've made a few cosmetic changes to the guitar with the addition of the gold hardware and the black poker chip etc. With the value of the guitar only set to mature over the next few years, I wanted to make sure that anything I did to the guitar could be reverted. I always wanted a "Birth Year" Guitar, so when this guitar popped up I did a payment plan which was set to take me 6 months to pay it off. In the end I sold my beloved Subaru Impreza P1 and not only did I get this guitar, I got two more from this list. I love this guitar and it's got the perfect neck for my tastes. It's very close to a Fender "C" shape neck of the 90's and I love that.
Next we have my new 2016 American Fender Elite Stratocaster in "Skyburst" metallic. I saw this finish and I just had to get this Strat! I've wanted a genuine American Stratocaster for a few years now, as I built a MIM Strat into a Strat Plus replica using a genuine '94 Strat Plus neck. Anyway, the Elite Strat has the S2 switching an N3 noiseless pickups. I don't really care about all of these options, I like a simple Strat that has three single coils and an maple neck and board. Sadly this guitar isn't getting as much use as I would have thought, but when you get 3 brilliant guitars in a matter of weeks you kinda get spoilt rotten!
Finally we have a guitar (another Strat) that I have spent the last 3 years begging the owner who is a guitar collector to sell me. I thankfully put some money aside just incase this guitar would pop up for sale. Thankfully it did. It's a 2002 American Fender Stratocaster Deluxe HSS. Normally I don't like humbuckers on Strats unless "Charvel" is written on the headstock. This Strat is by far the most beautiful Strat I have seen on my life. The "Faded Cherry Sunburst" finish is my favorite finish for a Strat with abalone dot markers!. I don't know if this is an Ash or Alder guitar, but it's very light, Ibanez RG light which is crazy for a Fender Strat. I don't really like the humbucker if I am honest as it's just not in balance with the other pickups on this guitar. When I put this guitar next to my Elite Strat I can't help feeling like a total smug git who deserves to be punched and knocked down a peg or two!
I do own a 3rd Strat and 4th guitar. It started life as a Mexican Fender Standard Stratocaster. I then installed all of the parts needed bar the modern tremolo system to make this guitar a Strat Plus. They were, '94 Strat Plus neck with LSR nut, Schaller Locking Tuners, Lace Sensor Gold Pickups, Fender TBX tone boost, High Mass Nickel Saddles. It stays in tune pretty well even when you use the vintage style tremolo system. It's a bloody heavy guitar and while it's a nice enough guitar, it's current locked away in a tweed Fender Strat case as I won't use the guitar every again. I don't really like Rosewood fingerboards and I don't want to make a Strat Plus out of my two American Strats as they are very much their own things.
Anyway those are my 4 guitars. I would like to get a Gibson SG and a Gibson Les Paul Custom (which I almost bought but got the Strat's instead!). You may have noticed my rig in the background, for those who are interested it is a Marshall Silver Jubilee 2555X running through a Victory Silverback 4x12" with Celestion Vintage 30 speakers. I only use Boss FX pedals and current have these 7, TU-3, OD-1, DS-1, DC-3, PS-1, RV-5, DD-2. Some of them are genuine 80's made in Japan pedals and they work well with the music I enjoy playing. I hope you enjoy learning about my bits of gear and that I don't come across too much of a smug git!

The Strat Plus was the first guitar I ever tried in a music shop, which was the reason I wanted to learn guitar after being allowed to strum on such an magical instrument. I'll be very honest and admit I am a massive Fender fanboy. I love Gibsons but Fenders just do it for me much more!
I use to own a MIM Fender Tele but I just couldn't get on with it. I owned a Fender Jag-Stang as my only guitar for about 18 years, so when I tried a Tele I was too use to the short scale length my Jag-Stang offered at the time.
Welcome aboard matey, nice gear!
very nice!

this is my collection...all remain with me except the SG which I sold to fund the purchase of a Mesa Express 5:50 2x12.
I love the finish on the blue strat.

My feedback thread is here.
I have a badly messed up lower back damage, which means I like to have a guitar that is comfortable to play as well as great tones and finally makes me want to pick it up and play it. I use to own a Fender Jag-Stang and Gibson Flying V , but after owning the Jag-Stang as my sole guitar for 18 years I needed a change. I do regret selling my Flying V and I do really want to get another one, as I would say they are my favorite shape guitar (well the '67 reissues) .
I'm in my late 30's now and I have had a lot of time to try out lots of different amps and guitars. It was 1998 when my then tutor at my 6th form let me use his original 1988 Marshall Silver Jubilee (black tolex version) and from that day onwards I wanted a Silver Jubilee of my own. Once the reissue came out I got myself one, even though there were modern changes made to it. I've always liked older things, be it with cars (I use to have a 1985 BMW Alpina C2 2.5), amps or guitars. You would never see me with some monstrosity made my BC Rich or Wylde Audio.
