I have 3 acoustic guitars as well. None of them worth mentioning. They were all purchased at GoodWill for under 10 dollars.

CHOUT · 06.25.2006, 01:42 PM

Current Main guitar:
1965 Fender Mustang (Oct 65 Neck date, 'B' neck width)

11 gauge strings (w/ extra heavy pick)
Stock neck pickup, Seymour Duncan Cool Rails mini humbucker in the bridge. Neck pickup soon to be replaced with another mini humbucker. Stock pickup sounds like shit. Never use it. Bridge pickup switch taped to on position.
Rosewood fretboard. Recently sanded some bad overspray job off the back of the neck with steel wool. Much smoother now.
Recently refinished from Surf Green-ish color so silver/metallic. I did a bad job, and it already looks reliced after two weeks. The paint is coming off everywhere. I'll refinish it sometime with better paint.
I took the volume knob off since I always hit it when I'm strumming.
Purchased for $300 from the singer in my old band.

Lovin' them, guys.

Regarding picks, I use very thin red Sharkfins.

acousticrock87 · 06.25.2006, 06:05 PM

I have one of these in Tiger Eye. The guitar, not the girl. Unmodified because I don't have the money to waste on that if I don't play it live.

Also a Takamine GS330 Cedar and an obscure 70's classical with 5 strings.

Ew, really? They look so... hair metal.

acousticrock87 · 06.25.2006, 06:33 PM

Look? It's a guitar. I play blues, and it's an excellent blues guitar. Makes no difference to me what scene it falls into under scenster glasses. Pity everyone wears 'um, though.

Danny Himself · 06.25.2006, 06:35 PM

It just seems odd to have such a grand vegasmeister such as that to play blues. No offence or anything. :]

acousticrock87 · 06.25.2006, 06:41 PM

The main reason I particularly picked that one was because I found it at a store that was having a blowout sale the next week, and doing my research, $200 off it was by far the best value I would be able to find for what I needed.

Wow, that's pretty cool. I usually peruse ebay for stupid people who post great guitars for cheap, not knowing what they are. Its how I got my Jazz.

LittlePuppetBoy · 06.25.2006, 06:58 PM

I've got a yamaha BB300 bass guitar. It's red and you can see it on my picture

LittlePuppetBoy · 06.25.2006, 06:58 PM

for those with the jazzmasters, how hard were they to find?

Heh ya I should've done that. I got my Takamine for $300 new, and found it on eBay for near $50 used. Eh, oh well.

Not very. Depends on what you want.

LittlePuppetBoy · 06.25.2006, 07:17 PM

well, I've never seen an actual jazzmaster(or jaguar) in a music store before.

there was this one guitar that had a similar shape, but it was made by Stagg

CHOUT · 06.25.2006, 07:24 PM

Yeah, they're harder to find in regular music stores, but online they're easy to find.
