Get a used Mexi Tele. Damned nice, sounds right, and great price. The '52 RI sure looks smooth, but I'd rather have a Tele that I can beat around a bit... '52 RI's are just too nice for that. My TeleBastard is a great guitar... and my total investment is like $350. Not bad...
...and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.
hey guys
this is m bitch right here.. it's my first/only electric guitar... saving up for a new one.. our bass player's dad has lent me a telecaster until xmas so i can see if i wanna buy one..
anyway this is me and my squier strat on stage at the PJ tribute show in melbourne... and my fender deluxe is right behind me
Let me know what you all think.. I love the finish on the 2002 les paul.. I can literally just look at it for hours.. The finish on the strat was just too cool to pass up.

muchos nice. there's a similarly finished LP at the shop here that i drool on periodically.
I'll be having some pics up of my Tele, with black pickguard and of my epiphone (not my fav, but still a precious) by the end of the weekend. Ain't that something to look forward to!

My main guitar now is a reissue of the '72 Custom Tele. Combined with my '73 Bassman, it sounds lovely. They had to order in the tele, since they had none in stock...so I had them replace the three-saddle bridge with a regular six when the guitar came in, for intonation's sake. I had heard that there was a noticable difference in volume, when switching from the neck to the bridge pickup, with the tele. I just raised the bridge pickup and that solved that. I don't plan to put in new pickups because the stock ones sound great. I'm currently saving for one last electric, the '57 Strat reissue...mmmmmm....'57.

No goldtop in '59. I always thought the '59 was an overrated LP. A good guitar, but way overrated. But I agree on the Strats. I also like the funky 60's Strats. You put some pickups that have some decent output in a Strat, it's not half-bad.

What is with the horrible Strat bias on this board...???
Oh, hell... yeah, a '57 Strat would be nice to have. I just love the goldtop Pauls.
Don't get me wrong, I like the Les, but I LOVE the tele and strat.
A friend of mine, who just happened to be my guitar teacher for 10 odd years, has a black '73 les paul custom. He got it for $200 in the 80's from some guy in a bar. Anyways, whenever there's a weekend late-night jam I usually play it and it sounds great. All it needs is a fret job and it'll be sweet. But anyways, I DO plan on getting a les paul...just not before the strat. : )
Originally posted by DaytimeDilemma I have alot of guitars, but since im in college and not alot of room I only brought one. The rest are at home. Here is my primary guitar:
Quick question, did you make that pedal board?
I have the same volume, wah, tuner, and distortion pedal...looking to get a whammy, line6 delay, line6 mm-4, and a mxr gate.
I also have similar dvd's, couldn't help but notice.
Originally posted by mccreadyisgod Well, that's probably the cheapest option, assuming you have the know-how and motivation. Home Depot can cut you a good chunk of 5/8" ply, and you can get the velcro for cheap. Get a power supply, and you're set.
Well, if I was playing in an environment with dirty power, the Furman would be nice... Furman IS the industry leader in power conditioning. But for guitar pedals... I don't think it's really worth the price. Like exhausted said, just do a Home Depot job. It's cheaper, and you can get the exact dimensions you want. Then just get a good power supply.
...and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.
I just wanted to send out a big thanks for all the help and advice I've received in the past couple days from everybody. I went to the indy site and his pedal boards are pretty good, but I think when I'm all set I'll just make a custom job. I'll know where I can ask for advice about power supplies and such. I like the furman because of the way you can run things in stereo and whatnot, but I imagine you can get a part for that and slap in onto a homemade board.

Stereo is nice, but it only works if you have a stereo amp or two mono amps. And you can do the same thing on your own, too. Best of luck!

hey is that a Fender 2x12 cab underneath the CG?
and is that a Maz 18 that you lead guitarist has behind him? If so is it the non reverb model? Either way. DR. Z builds some sweet amps. That's good stuff. I was between that and the Orange when I bought my Orange but I couldn't find a dealer for DR. Z close buy. I think I will be buying the air brake though sometime soon.
My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

do the home depot thing and make your own and spent $50 on a godlyke power supply or the like to run things.
or, for an proper lockable pedalboard, try this guy.

then navigate
They play very similar to the JS1000 series (which I love), but without the cheesy "Joe Satriani" inlay.
I love them both! Yes...they rip
