deny essex Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 (edited) Ex semi pro/ pro 60's/70's group player I still try to play with my plonkers for home fun but old finger bones dont work so well now, I use for home fun a Yamaha SE350h solid body twin pick ups for rock / heavy noise as fancied, a Dean semi with twin pick ups for a more bluesy sound and a epiphone gibson copy twin pick up for a soft / blues sound. All through a 30 watt Force amp and a Boss GT6 effects pedal. Edited July 5, 2014 by deny essex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davyo Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 (edited) In my day(NOW 52 & the old fiddlers dont work LOL) Gibson flying v. gibson sg, fender strat & telicaster. I keept them for years but let go of the last one earlier this year, kept a fender accoustic though.Use to do covers when i played in a band, anything form Black Sabbeth to Pink Floyd.Last time i played was when we put the band back together to play some BUSTED/MC FLY covers for my sons birthday. The SG sold for a fair bit as was signed by Steve Vai when i had the pleasure of meeting him. Edited July 5, 2014 by Davyo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainBeaky Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 Simon and Patrick SP6 cedar top, plus an old Eko 12 string (18th birthday present!). My ancient Japanese classical has been half-inched by my daughter to use at college, so I suspect I've lost that one :( Play mainly at home, but do a few local gigs - folk clubs and local festivals etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisherman Mike Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 (edited) Not these days but used to play Bass at school and in a local band until I got married at 28 had kids and the Bass was sold.Last guitar I had was a Rickenbacker 4003....superb instrument and not just a great guitar but a lovely object to look at.I sold it far too cheap. Correction it was a 430 series ( I think) Edited July 5, 2014 by Fisherman Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cambsman Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 I play a bit. My lad plays a lot and is much better than me. We have acoustics ( Maton, Fender, Washburn 6 and 12 strings) and electrics (Les Paul, Strat, 335). I also have built my own valve amps in various guises.

955i Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 I have an Ibanez acoustic that I have had for about 20yrs and my delightful looking Ibanez SA electric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimlet Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 (edited) Got a Garrison acoustic. No pickups, no cut out. Not a huge sound but exceptionally sweet tone. I bought it because the action suited finger picking which is about the only style I can play. (Though as I got better I not sure I don't prefer a higher action for finger picking). I'm still pretty rubbish, hampered by learning to read music on the piano when I was very young and I've never got past the habit of trying to see the guitar fret like a keyboard, and the guitar just doesn't work like that so I don't know my way intuitively round the fret board. I should make more effort again, its a lovely instrument. Needs refretting first. I wore the first three frets flat trying to nail the string bends in the Paul Simon version of "Anji". By the time I'd got it right the strings were buzzing. Edited July 5, 2014 by Gimlet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFC Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 I have Ibanez GRG250 and a Marlin Loner. Only just learning and can't play too well yet. I too play Uke. A low G Oscar Schmidt O2 concert and an Ohana TK 20 CE Tenor electro acoustic. My first instrument used to be Trumpet, Bb Olds but I haven't played it for a while. Don't practice as much as I should so I ought to get a grip cos I enjoy playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fabhui Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 I've owned several guitars and still have a couple but I would love to have a Gretsch 6120 EC followed by a Gretsch White Falcon!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy.plinker Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 Enjoy a plink about with a freshman acoustic, my son's mad on electric. I get a tune out just but my singing's hellish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les*1066 Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 I've thinned my collection down to 5 now - 3 classical, 1 electro-acoustic and a solid bodied electric. There were 14 at one stage, but I was having a problem moving around so it was either get a bigger place to live or have less guitars, so the guitars lost! The classicals are a Yamaha SLG110N, a Yamaha CG-150CA and a Yamaha CG-201S. The solid body is a Yamaha Pacifica 112. ( anybody notice a pattern here?! ) The electro acoustic is a Jasmine/Takamine TS74C. I've been bashing about on various guitars since my teens, and I can honestly say that I'm not much better now than I was then - even though I've played in a couple of bands. Oh well, I only do it for my own amusement so I'm quite happy to be a bedroom guitarist these days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulos Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 I've a Fender Tele and Strat, plus an Epiphone Les Paul, which I love. Got a tanglewood acoustic as well but I don't play that very often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconFN Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 I have a Takamine electro-acoustic (never plugged it in though), uke, 5 string banjo and a battered resonator tuned to open G. I'm no good but absolutely love the banjo - claw hammer style, and the resonator for banging out blues but rarely play the Takamine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy Galore! Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 used to play a bit of bass, I nearly acquired my great grandfathers banjo after facilitating it's restoration, but in my fathers wisdom I lost out to my dikey niece, I think she's sold it and now all I have left are the spoons.
