Any Musicians Here ? Fellow guitar junkies ?

[Definitive Dave]

liquid tension experiment is worth a listen
Sultan has some wicked low chops

I have one of their cd's. I'm not the biggest fan of Dream Theater, LTE type bands. Their kinda hard to follow being a non musician.
I've searched information on how guitars are finished to apply to wood working projects. I love the figured woods, especially curly/quilted maple.

 

[Definitive Dave]

that is gorgeous!!!!!

 

[Magic_Man]

Figured maple is gorgeous but my ultimate favorite is a good piece of Brazilian rosewood.

Since there are so many bass lovers here is a nice fretless conversion I done. Cleaned up fret slots with my foredom router base. Scraped binding strips to fit and glues with hide glue. Chiseled, sanded, reradiused and polished fingerboard to 1200 grit then buffed.

I was raised luthier, converted to episcopalian and drifted from there.

I played a prs custom 22 that I rewired "regular" with a fralin in the neck and a JB in the bridge. Played mostly thru soldanos and one Budda, usually with a 2x12 on each side of the stage (eminence legend cones).
Married Yoko Ono, and she broke up the band December, 2012. Not that I miss it or anything.

 

[Locust Cutter]

I play a bit of Bass, Drums, Piano and a lot of 6/12 string guitar. Current stable is an early 90's half body Ovation Elec/Acoustic, Korean Knockoff of an SG and an Alvarez Jumbo Acoustic, all 6 string. My next few will be an American Telly, an American Les Paul, a Breedlove 12 string Elec/Acoustic and a Martin D-28... I will likely get another trap set again someday as the kids are now starting to get the bug. I was never "in" a band but did a bit of moonlighting and sang a bit. I appreciate a lot of music but prefer (Old) country, Rock, Blues, Soul, Funk, (Old R&B) and classical.

WTF is a Luthier?

I laughed my ass off at this.

My Eggnoodle Tweaker 40 amp I've been playing around with lately...



And a pedalboard I originally put together for home recording studio use... been dorking around with it a bit, too... top row through the FX loop on amp, bottom row through front end.



These days I mostly just play with myself... so, it's like being a teenager, again...

 

[huskstihl]

I used to run an old rocktron replifex thru the loop. In front was a Bud-Wah and a true bypass modded original tube screamer

 

[cobey]

I know I have bad taste .
I played metal since I was 15.
I sold most my big stuff

 

[Locust Cutter]

Not Bad Cobey, just harder... LMAO I can't quite make out the red Axe, is that a Jackson or Alvarez?

Cheap exp, I don't have a picture
Of my old gig guitar, it was an alverez,
Kind of ibenez copy, Floyd rose, hot pick ups. Had a bunch of amps and stuff.
My favorite was a crate 50 watt stealth head on my Randell cabnet. Had a Morley volume / wah, and a digitech wammy pedal

 

[Magic_Man]

Any guitar is a cool guitar to me as long as your playing.

 

[Motorhead]

I used to play,I had A Fender Strat,and 2 silver tone twin 100s ran in a series.when I stopped playing I gave every thing to my son,He likes music so much he's 41 years old and still makes a living playing up and down the Florida keys,and sometimes the Carribean islands.

 

[Magic_Man]

Two loves in the same shop, sharpening the chain on my 575xp on one side and finishing up a fret job on a 1978 Les Paul Custom on the other side.

 

[huskstihl]

Found this from about 4 years ago. Pardon the quality and the singing. I can't remember if that was the Budda or Soldano. Prolly the Soldano.

 

[Magic_Man]

Here is a nice telecaster I just finished up for a guy. Two piece swamp ash body with a shellac base finish over sprayed with age tinted satin lacquer. Same finish on the neck as well. Lollar pickups, paper in oil tone cap, 50's style Bakelite pick guard, bone nut, vintage 3 bar bridge and schaller tuners.

[huskstihl]

Beautiful. I always replace the ceramic disc with a quality oil/paper capacitor on the tone control just like you do
