Official Guitar, Amp, Pedals, and Gear Thread

the metal buckle clanging against the guitar body is one thing we noticed immediately. tape shall rectify.

That was actually one of the reasons I picked my strap model. Not even that slide buckle your cotton one has; it's all leather.

i like the Levis becuase i can get it pretty low. i realize this drives instructors crazy and I'd be a better stand-up player if it wasn't so low. ehh.

 

[Piobaire]

Yeah, need to force myself to practice standing.

As far as hanging guitars, I'm all for it.

I have always had at least one guitar hanging in my office and one in my home. (I also had two vintage tweed Fender amps as bookends in my office but that is another story).

Right now I have two big blond jazz boxes hanging near me. What a wonderful sight!

I think guitars are beautiful works of art to be appreciated. You also reach out and play them more often if in view.

I have a soft long bristle brush and a can of compressed air in a drawer to keep they sparkling.

I got a double wide one that is great for the extra weight of a Les Paul

So nothing nearly as spectacular as the Foo purchase but here's a pic of the Tele:

^^^^ Sweet!

I really like the look of a three tone sunburst Tele. It makes a refreshing change from all the blonds.

FYI, Semour Duncan's go-to axe is a sunburst Tele/Esquire with a solid black pickguard. He uses it to drop in various pickups. He is always tweaking it.

If you want to pimp your ride consider a white (w-b-w laminated) one like this '59 Esquire Custom or a white MOTS (pearl mother of toilet seat) as seen on this CS Tele Thinline. Both look nice against sunburst.

Thanks! Coming from you that really means something to me. I'm going to order that knob gomey did as soon as it arrives (don't want to jinx things by ordering parts prior to arrival!) and then do nothing else to it for a bit. Just sort of live with it to see what, if anything, is next.

Cool story about Duncan and his Tele. My pups are both American Vintage Tele.

I really want to put a 3ply Mint Green guard on my Blizzard White USADeluxe Strat.

After playing on warmouth a bit, I think parchment would be a better match than mint green.
