Let's see a picture of your NUMBER ONE!

[HTH AMPS]

This is my No.1 rig...

* '76 Superbass head (modded to lead specs & tweaked to my own taste)
* 1960A cab with 014 bass cone G12H-30s
* '91 LP std with Mules

I've also just bought a 6505, I'm picking it up later on - had to be done, it's metal in a box   :D

 :twisted:

I Really cannot decide on a number one, though it is probably my 1985 MIJ Fender Stratocaster '72 Reissue. Gonna take it apart this week probably and rewire it and reshield it, and most probably do a complete refret. It currently has a S****** D***** Hot Stack in the bridge (in when I got it, and I'm gonna get rid of it no doubt as I much prefer singles).



This is played through a 1973 Sound City L120 (w/ 6x Mullard EL34s, and Brimar preamp valves). Great sounding head, and has amazing cleans. The cab is a mid 70s FAL. Cost me £18 empty, and I slapped in two Celestion Vintage 30s.


Other stuff:
1971 Yamaha FG-150 red label.
Amazing acoustic, another great ebay purchase that sounds absolutely great, and a LOT better than most (if not all) acoustics I have ever played. Perfect for my style of acoustic playing. I recently fitted an undersaddle piezo which runs straight into an endpin jack so there were no serious mods to the guitar istelf.


1992 Ibanez RG550. MIJ in the same plant as my Strat (Fujigen). Has S****** D***** pickups in it too (again, in it when I bought it!) '59 neck, classic stack in the middle and a duncan custom in the bridge (IIRC anyway)


This is in excellent condition for its age, as when I bought it it had been sat in an attic for 8 years, so was all rusted up! :shock: Cleaned it all up and now plays, looks and sounds great.

I also own (but can't be bothered finding pics of)
1970s Hohner 12 string acoustic ( really nice guitar. Great looker and sounds killer)
Squier Affinity Strat (all replaced pups, and tuned to OPen G with 5 strings)
Richwood Strat copy (never used, for sale)
Peavy Indianola electro-acoustic (never used since I got my Yamaha, and is also for sale)

The reason nothing has BKPs in is because I cannot afford them at the moment, as all my money is going towards making my own guitar, which WILL have BKPs in when it is finished.

That's not really showing everything I've done and where I am up to, but if you want more pics or whatever then shoot me a PM as I have hundreds of progress pics so far.

the LP is black, sorry, 'ebony' if we're using Gibson-speak  :lol:

I agree, it's tough to beat those old 4-input Marshalls.  I love the MV JMPs too, but a plexi cranked is just heaven.  

 :twisted:

HEAVIER THAN HELL, that setup is KILLER!!

[hunter]

HTH, classy and classic rig you have there. Guess if girls would find amps and guitars sexy as we dudes do, they'd be lining up to speak to you after your gigs  8)

Good times, just got some photos back from my latest gig on saturday, can't see my sexy pedalboard, but...



That's me on the left with my gorgeous Fernandes Ravelle Deluxe through the quarter stack at the back - Marshall JCM900 4100 Dual Reverb head through a 1936 2x12 with Vintage 30's in. The 4x12 underneath isn't plugged in, that's the gigs cab and I always put my amp up on top of it for a bit more elevation.

Real nice stuff there Phil.

Give us some tips on how to acquire such a fine collection!

How much did that 53 les paul cost and how much did it cost to convert? :o

I have had most of these guitars for a long time. Because of that I really got them quite cheaply.

The strat cost me £575 in 1982
The 53 les paul was $2,500 in 1996, it was converted in the late 50's/early 60's and is the guitar on the cover of 'Atlantic Blues Guitar'
The 57 Tele cost $1,700 on eBay in 1999
The 56 Reissue cost $2,000 in 2000
The 59 Esquire cost $1,400 on eBay in 2000
The 54 Les Paul was left to me by my good friend Tom Tracy

As you can see, I have been buying guitars since the 80's, this is how I was able to get the collection I have.  Also they are all players guitars, not collectors, so they are not as expensive.  Only the 56 reissue has the original finish!

No pictures on me but mine is a Ibanez PGM301 with black pickup rings, a Ferrari sticker and a Zebra Bulldog pickup in the bridge.

Pictures will come soon.

Andy!

[Twinfan]

The '53 was a steal Phil!!!  How cheap???   :o

[Crazy_Joe]

My No. 1 at the moment is my Ibanez RG505 MIJ with old version Holy Diver set :P



There's also my No. 2 which i havn't been getting along with recently but i think i will soon. My Tokai EX-85 Explorer Ltd Edition MIJ.



Also in that pic is/was my Laney GH50L and Marshall cab which has just been sold for my new Laney VC50:
