Show Us Your Guitars

What kind of guitar forum would this be if we didn’t share some guitar pics?

I’ll get us started.

I’ll start with the one you’ve seen me with the most. This is a Fender Road Worn 60s Strat. I freakin’ love it. The 60s cycle hum was crazy when I started filming the course, so I put in some Kinman noiseless pickups.

Next up is another Strat. This one was made and gifted to me by a dear friend of mine, so it holds a lot of sentimental value. The biggest difference between this one and the Road Worn Strat above is that this one’s a hardtail (no tremolo). It makes for a less springy, more solid tone. I have Seymour Duncan Antiquity Surfer pickups in this one. It sounds beautiful and plays like buttah.

This is probably my ‘nicest’ guitar. It’s a Gibson Custom Les Paul 1957 Reissue. It was made to measure (not by me—I bought it used :slightly_smiling_face:) which is how it ended up with a black top. As if Les Pauls aren’t heavy enough, I decided to put a bigsby on it for a little extra vibe. This one sports some handwound PAF style pickups made by Mark Grant Guitars. I feel 10% cooler whenever I’m playing this axe.

Here’s a weird one. This spaceship-looking thing is branded St George, but I believe it was made in Japan by Teisco in the mid 1960s. It’s funky, kinda hard to play, and sounds super unique. I have this strung with flatwounds and I usually have it tuned to C# standard. Even though I could never sound like him, it inspires me to play like Ry Cooder (IYKYK).

My favorite (and only) acoustic guitar. This is a Martin OMJM. I got this guitar as a gift about 15 years ago from my Aunt and Uncle (I know, I know—two gifted guitars?? How did I get so friggin’ lucky?). It’s really special to me. If my house was on fire I’d have this in one arm and my cat Mimi in the other.

I also have a Fender JMJ Mustang Bass. No pics of that one though—it’s illegal to post bass pics on a guitar forum.

That’s all I got for ya. Let’s see your guitars!

Stolen picture of an Orlando 304 from Reverb, BUT, there were slight variations over the years and this one is the same.
