You are probably all wondering what this is all about. Let me start by saying that the "AXE" I have to pick with you all is my new Martin D35 Acoustic Guitar and I love it. I bought it in 2009 and it's one of the best Guitars that I have ever bought. Not too expensive, of course that depends on how one rates what expensive is, but so well made and quite spectacular sound. Superb Bass due to the 3 piece back and the string balance and playability is quite impressive as well.
----------------------------------------Another Jem of an AXE, that I bought in 1982 new, is a Gibson Les Paul Custom Electric Guitar with a Maple neck. Not too many of these Gibsons Les Paul Customs were made with a Maple neck. The Maple neck gives the Les Paul Customs excellent sustain (strings vibrate for a long time). Maybe you can tell us about the instruments you own and play or just collect PS. Funny, but I remember a University Study, many years ago, that reached the ears of both my Parents that stated that an Electric Guitar is a Gate Way to drugs. And due to this insanity, it took me a very long time to get my Parents to buy me an Electric Guitar. LOL [Edit 4 times, last edit by Pink Moose at Nov 8, 2011 2:40:39 AM] |

 Grew up in a home without an upright piano - the symbol of class in my time - but I know Guitar Man and have just alerted him to this thread  And should you have samples for us to listen to - YouTube for instance - I'm fair game, Pink Moose  |

ah ha.......another guitar player.
I've been playing electric guitar for over 40 years now, and I'm as mad as a hatter :) I sold my old guitar earlier this year It was a '62 Strat customized with a Gibson pick up on the neck and individual switches for each pick up. Amps I have had in the past are Vox AC 50, Marshall 100w stack with 2 4x12 cabs, Fender Twin reverb, Mesa boogie Nomad 55. I currently am playing through a Mesa Boogie Lone Star Special. The guitar I use on stage is a Squier Strat fitted with Fender Noisless pick ups, and retro fitted with an original Fender 3-way switch. For effects I use a Boss GT-10 Guitar effects processor. I also have several acoustic guitars and a Tanglewood Bass. |

I never owned Mesa Boogie but I played through one about 5 years ago. It can put out the sound big time....nice amp Guitar Man.
I own a Fender Dual Showman 100 Watt Tube Amp that I bought in 1982 new. And the knobs are RED not the usual black. I also owned a Fender American Made Strat but it was stolen and I really miss it and I'm planning to buy a new Strat perhaps in about a year. Do you remember the Sears Silvertone Guitars? That was my first guitar. Yeah, I do go back a few years. |
