Larsongs Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 I have a Firebird V & really like the Mini HB's.. They are their own thing. Great Sounding! The only Mod I've considered is a long tail Maestro.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't have good tone until you put stickers all over it like Alvin did with Big Red. That's 5 guitars for you in month or so. I bow down. How about another with a big hole in it? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFord Posted July 3, 2020 Author Share Posted July 3, 2020 An STP sticker on an SG? That would certainly allow me to fly over the frets. We don't do set breaks, we do pit stops. There is one acoustic I would like to get but right now it's finish up the electrics. Maybe by September I'll be done with the suckers. This coronavirus really altered my plans. Before it hit buying guitars was the last thing on my mind. The wife, God help me, wants me to renovate the kitchen and a bathroom, instead. Women! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I ever get this Riviera Custom P93 in wine red come in, I'm done getting electric guitars. That would make 6. Nice even number. I have a 7 guitar rack. The 12 strings in its case and the ovation acoustic is on the rack. Stickers, I have never put on any guitar. Good luck renovating your kitchen and bathroom Steve. We just finished both here. Debbie is thrilled with both how they turned out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last car was a 71 Dodge Colt with all chevy powered 350 engine, 12 bolt rear end, Arrow Dynamics 4130 Chrome Moly tubbing & 12 point roll cage. I ran it in Pro Gas in the 70's and early 80's. We had enough sponsorship stickers all over it. So, didn't need any on guitars or cases. I understand band players that travel around playing that pick up stickers. Nothing wrong with it, I just keep mine clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Scales Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 my guitar still has the faded and worn away remnants of the Dean Markley and D'addario stickers on the back that were there when I got it 30 years ago and I was too lazy to bother to remove. My practice amp still has the sticker for US punk band Ten Foot Pole on it - like a corporate logo with mailing address so I assume it once belonged to them...again, too lazy to remove.

Right now my Blueshawk is inside or when it leaves the house, the case has been home to a few LP's, it did carry my Gibson LP Spec DC to India and back. Looks old and worn but extremely solid with thousands of air miles.... Edited July 13, 2020 by mihcmac 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
