Guitar God Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 (edited) Been awhile since I posted on here! Wanted to share some new recently acquired gear. Over the past couple of months. Actually, I didn't even ask for these . My Dad just surprised me with them out of the blue. Pretty much said, "I know I'm a drummer, not a guitarist. I just seen it and thought you'd enjoy. I know you didn't ask." on these and one I just got this weekend as a month early birthday gift. First is a 1 watt Blackstar head and a custom built 1x12 cab someone made and put an Eminence speaker in - can't remember which one. Now, I have played the Marshall 1 watt amps before and was very impressed. This is the first Blackstar 1 watt that I have played and it is impressive, too. The cab is great, too. The second is this Fender Jimi Hendrix Stratocaster. I'm loving how it sounds and plays. It's a M.I.M model, but has the American Vintage '65 Fender pickups in it. The other is this '90's M.I.M Fender Strat upgraded with an American Fender bridge, American neckplate, mint green pickguard, new knobs, Fender Tex Mex pickups, and Fender locking tuners. Really sweet guitar. Kind of thinking about changing pickups, though. Not that their bad, because they're not. Just thinking about a different tone. On the fence about it, though. The other is this Fender Lead 3. This thing is so cool! Only thing I don't like about it is that you can't coil split both pickups at the same time. With the split switch, it's either one or the other. I guess that's just me being nit picky. The other guitar is a heavily upgraded M.I.M Stratocaster. Upgraded with DiMarzio Tone Zone/Chopper/Satch Track pickup combo, black pearl pickguard, 3 push/pull coil split DiMarzio pots, black Blade Runner/Super Vee tremolo, black Fender locking tuners, black Graph Tech nut, black knobs, black jack plate, black switch tip, and an upgraded string tree. Not sure if the switch and jack have been upgraded or not. Oh, and Dunlop Straplocks! I love these pickups in it! For sure sounds and plays great!https://i.imgur.com/u7d878E.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/xsPWn0J.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/FNd7h19.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/eQBTTJh.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/RoeZTqo.jpg Edited March 16, 2022 by Guitar God 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is my sage green Tele for comparison.https://i.imgur.com/AwadcWO.jpg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dropped some Lace Sensor Tele pickups, an Emerson prewired harness, and locking tuners on mine. It's bone-stock. Bought it well-used, last year, from a local pawn shop. Paid $299 for it. One of the best Telecasters I ever played. The previous owner put some miles (and a few dings and chips) on it, but she's rock-steady. 😛 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
