Show us your axe

Eh...

In opposit to all the gearheads out there, I am a tonehead. I don't understand why people spend so much money on their equipment to get something that is ok with everybodey, instead of buying a guitar and mod it to suit just you. This way you get a guitar customised to your spesification, and you get the tone you always wanted. I would never ever dream of buing a prs. Yes, they are great to play, and they sound ok, but you end up paying 20000 for laquer.

I myself now have a 1964 hondo-strat copy, with the neck shaped after my spesification. It got a gotho tremolo with piezo, sperzel locking tuners, a brass nut and brand new jumbo frets. I have Duncan pickups in midle and bridge possition, and a 1971 fender strat in the neck possition. It also have some custom wiering, with a mid boost controll and 7 pickup switching oppertunities. My best friends dad, which is a true gearhead once tried this guitar, and swore it was the best thing he had ever played, and that he had never heard a guitar with such a great tone. This comes from a man with four PRS guitars (one witch is the Santana 1), a bunch of vintage fenders, a couple of gibson LP's and a lucile. He claimed it was the best sounding vintage fender he had ever played. You should have seen his face when i told him i bought the guitar of ebay for 80$. Everyne who plays this guitar falls in love with it.

This is the guitar, but it's before modding. It is now raped with sandpaper, and looks realy reliced.

My other guitars are:

 a 1993 samick, moded with gotho tuners, a real floyd and EMG's. Plays like a dream, and sounds very much like the ESP KH2. Looks like a Ibanez s-series.

a 80's korean kramer strat copy by hondo with dimarzio PUs, mighty might bridge gotho tuners and custom wiering. This also has a special shaped neck, much like the hondo, and the fretboard is scalloped. Added a quilted maple top, laquered in transperant green with a burst to black and abalone inlays.

A 1996 Epiphone LP with duncans and gotho tuners. Plays like a dream.

A squire strat, moded to a hard top hollow-body with a f-fole. Has an acoutic bridge, and is strung with nylon strings. Piezo electronics and gotho tuners

The squire and first hondo is not pictured. Old photo.

I think all this guitars have costed me around 2500$, witch is is much less than a good Prs... And all this guitars is just the way I want them. Sort of my own customs, with the set up I find suitable for each spesific guitar. I plug it all in home made effects, a Jen crybaby and a old Hiwatt 50 watt combo with an aditional 2*12 cabinett.

You should read the post I had above.

I'm contemplating starting a thread for drummers called "Show Us Your Skins", and what the outcome of that blunder would be.

Mine is the left black one - my most loved guitar of all time. Its Gibson Les Paul Custom reissue 1968 Authentic model from Custom Shop

The middle one is all original friends 1974 Custom, great sounding guitar, little brighter than mine.

The right one is 1993 Custom, most modern sounding from these three. My least favourite. Does have non original white plastic parts.

Wow, Beautiful guitars. I've always wanted a resonator. Sweet.

Thanks for letting us see your collection.
