I wanna see your guitar

Postby Joeleo » Fri Aug 12, 2011 9:48 am

We obviously do a lot of pedal-related discussion here, and talk about other gear such as amp choice, patch cables, picks, strings, etc. But there really isn't that much discussion about one very crucial part of the signal chain....OUR GUITARS!!!!! I want to see and read about your main axes. As valuable as some of our pedalboards are, I know we've got to have some sick guitars in this group. Post some pics, tell us about the guitar(s), maybe even say what BJFE's go really well with it/them.

I'll start:

These are two of my fav's. The first is a jazzmaster I built using a Warmoth body/neck. It has Curtis Novak pickups in it. The neck is chunky and it feels great. The Novak's are amazing- the neck is a normal vintage-spec'd JM pickup, but the bridge is a stealth P90. Sounds really great with almost every BJFE pedal I've tried. The JM > DRD > Fender Twin is a truly magical combination, and I love the HB, EGDM, and sometimes the Model H into an AC30-style amp.

The other guitar is actually an Ibanez semi-hollow that I got super cheap and modded. It has Bareknuckle pickups in it (Stormy Monday bridge & Manhattan P90 neck), tonepros bridge/tailpiece & Tuners, and an earvana nut. The Bareknuckles are incredible, I'm a big fan of lower output humbuckers and the Stormy Monday is an AlNiCo II, so it's smooth and buttery. This one really sounds great with the DRD at lower gain, and the LGW and HB was/is very nice with it.

And this summer I've been building a tele. Here's an in-progress shot:

My #1. All of the arm wear is mine. I picked it up do demo an amp I planned to buy that day. It was a used cheesy relic, but WOW!

the first was replacing the pickups. Put in some lollars. Then i started trying out different necks. I bought a CS neck that had a 60's profile which played better than the one installed. I then switched up the tone pots. the first tone is a blender where you can blend in the sound from the bridge/neck pickups. the other tone is a mod that Bjorn suggested when I was ramping up the gain on the pedals with the strat and getting too much hiss.

To be honest I don't think i'd go through that kind of experimentation again. I only have 3 guitars and wanted my strat to be tailored but with my next purchases i'll just take it as is or leave it.

beautiful instruments, everyone! I'm surprised to not see any humbuckers yet.
