Let's see a picture of your NUMBER ONE!
« on: May 19, 2007, 05:14:21 PM »
I don't recall if this has been done recently, but since many of us change our gear frequently, let's see your current No. 1 guitar! (FELINE GUITARS, you can post a couple since I'm sure it's hard for you to chose!!)

This is my current work horse axe:



Yoshi is a Fender ash body with a Warmoth neck, Roland synth pup and a single Cold Sweat in the bridge. The tone is STELLAR, and I used it for most of the guitar duties in a recent studio session.

I may one day get a Feline that will probably topple Yoshi in the playability arena, but for now this is the guitar that is my go-to for writing and rehearsals.

For working on Dojo lessons, I use whatever happens to be on a stand.

My Epi LP Custom with a set of Mules. It just feels and sounds right. I might replace the bridge/tailpiece and electronics eventually for some higher quality ones, but for now its fine:



Though, I'm playing my parts strat a lot recently (even without a neck pickup!). Has a Trilogy in the bridge position now (actually a neck trilogy but I moved it to the bridge and it sounds great) BG pickups prototype s90 in the middle, and I'll eventually get an Irish Tour for the neck:

I was worried about the title of this at first!! However I am posting a picture of my favourite today!  It is a 2001 Japanese Zemaitis clone with Emerald and Mule pickups.  The amp is a Silver Jubilee (I'll take the plastic off the chrome one day!), and an Ear Candy 1x12.  Both of them have Celestion Sidewinders and I can get an awesome sound from them.

At the moment this is my workhorse (thoroughbred). My Gretsch 6128T-TVP.
Sorry, no BKP's in there.

Here's my live rig - sorry the pic is a bit dark.

'65 reissue Epiphone SG with Riff Raffs and other upgrades, plus one of my 100w Laney Klipp heads and a 1960A Marshall cab with Celestion Vintage 30s:



But I guess my overall "Number One" is the one that's most precious to me for sentimental reasons, which also happens to be one of my best sounding guitars.  I bought it as my third electric guitar, and my first Gibson style axe, after two Strats.  You've seen it before but here's my '96 Gibson Les Paul Standard with unpotted Mules:

Favourite guitars come and go, but there's only one Number One.  My green Gibson SG-X with a Riff Raff (excuse the mess in the background):

My standard rig at the moment, PRS SE Singlecut with a set of VHIIs and the Shiva with the 2x12 Heritage Cab. I do like the sound of the 4x12 Bogners but they're just so damn heavy.  The PRS is very versatile and refined with the VHIIs and split outer coil option via push-push.

my beloved razorback with a Gold covered Ceramic Warpig in the bridge. great playability, great tone (pickups + mahogany), and killer looks!
LFR trem, (cr@p), 22 jumbo frets (nice  :) ), set neck (also nice), and grover tuners.
tuned to somewhere in between C and B standard  :twisted:

Love the scratchplate. Like the colour... How's the 24 fret neck? [Do the extra frets make much of a difference?]

Thanks for the comments, folks!  :D  I always thought of my SG as an ugly duckling, but I guess it turned into a swan!  It's had a couple of changes of scratchplates and tuners over the years and it's on its 5th pickup, but if I had to sell all my guitars this would be the one I'd keep.  I've got another one the same (in black) but the green one has the magic, somehow.

The 24 frets don't make a massive amount of difference - of course, there's room for 24 frets on any SG because of that big gap at the end of the neck.  It's easy to reach the 24th fret thanks to the deep cutaways. And I do think it looks good on a single-pickup guitar.

Unfortunately, the model was discontinued (in 2000, I think).  I don't think it was available left-handed.
