Last spring I think I pissed off MIG when I sold my Les Paul '57 gold top and '58 burst. The Goldtop wasn't a totally fantastic guitar even though it was worth a friggin lot of dough,,, but I miss the Burst. It's in great hands though. I had to store them in temperature/ humidity controlled vaults and had to worry about them all the time.
Even I can admit there are things more important than a late 50's Les Paul.
Although I am a sucker for the '57 Goldtop.
I'm just glad you made sure they had a good home...
...and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.
If any of you guys are ever in Australia or want to order an awesome acoustic guitar, then go for either a Cole Clark or Maton.....both beautiful guitars using superb Australian wood...Ben Harper plays a heap of various Cole Clark and Maton guitars and is currently sponsored by Cole Clark.....
'68 SG red with tremelo - a real '68. Needs a refret for the third time but I love that guitar. I've had that baby since '69 and it's been all around the world with me
Gretsch Chet Atkins Hollowbody -- another sweet one
an Old Gretsch Resonator that sounds great - set up for slide
a newer Gretsch resonator slide that sounds not as great, but I'm not afraid to take it out somewhere.
1964 Guild Starfire IV with a bigsby Great neck, like an SG,,, except I broke it, but fixed it.
Taylor 414 CE
An old Yamaha acoustic that sounds better than a lot of high end acoustics
Martin d-28 (I'm not telling you where it is!)
Soares'd jazz acoustic guitar. Nice playing weird thing. I put a Bendetto pickup on it and it sounds great.
A couple of Jimmy Vaughn Strats that I've fixed up and made into experiments. They are great Strats if you want a cool strat for a decent price. They always need new pickguards though.
G&L Legacy 1992? which is a strat style. Another great way to go to get a nice strat-like guitar
My Tele ( Oh yeah! ) Butterscotch and old,,, and I'm glad I bought it way back when. It's a collector's item now, so I can't play it much.
A weirdo semi hollow body /space aged mother of toilet seat decorated /futuristic crappy tunered /bridge that can slash your palm in two/ never before seen humbuckered/ awesome playing and sounding no name guitar.
An older Les Paul Standard,,,,, signed by Les Paul at the Iridium in Manhattan
1992 Paul Reed Smith EG-1. It's a bolt on neck and humbucker single humbucker set up. Outstanding guitar
How about a Martin D-18 that I'm about to take the neck off and reset. :eek: That's always a high pressure day

I had a nice Gretsch acoustic,,, I took it to Austria last summer and gave it to the Squirrel if anybody knows her from here. She has it in Ireland now. It's definitely in good hands!
A bunch of unfinished projects laying around, too! What is it they say? The shoemaker's kids go barefoot?

WOW! Thnx for all the replies. I see some jammers have named theirs as well. I went down the list and saw 'Peavey' a few times. I didn't know Peavey made guits. Are they good or bad quality or both?

I mixed down an old song tonight and began recording another one as well. I'm really digging the one I'm doing now. Going to add a bridge and solo tommorow and perhaps persuade one of my musician friends to throw a vocal track over it.

Wow!
Believe it or not, I have a friend with the same two Fender Custom shops. He has a 2003 fiesta red relic strat and his 3 colour sunburst is is a '58, but has gold tuners and a pearloid pickguard. He's a big Eric Johnson fan.

Cool! The older Fender CS guitars are ten times the new ones. in 94' they probably put out 200 a year, now they put out 200 a month....

That's what I've heard about Fender Custom shop these days. The guitars aren't overly special, but some people just feel more satisfied having the Custom Shop seal on the guitar. I personally just like the American Deluxe. I'm saving up for one and should have it by Christmas time. I've heard a lot people complain that they feel like playing a baseball bat, but any one that i've played is just amazing.
As for my buddy's Custom Shops, I couldn't really tell you how they play. He's a jazz player and loves his heavy strings. We're talking like .15 or .16 as the lowest tensioned string. I just can't play in my style with those things. I try to bend and my fingers buckle under the tension.
From what I've heard him play with them though, I think that they're just wonderful.
