Net outlay, $8165, not including the value of gear that I traded much of it in on, that includes a Korg D888 digital recorder, Fender Jazzmaster Ultralight amp, Hartke HA2500/TP115 bass amp, etc. Not a bad investment over 37 years, considering the years of enjoyment I've got out of playing each of them. A careful reader will see that I have winnowed it all down to the three Gibsons, the three Fender Precisions, the two flat tops, two resonators, and the Supro.

Steven Lister Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 So' date=' have you ever compiled your "list"? Every guitar you ever owned?[/quote']No list --- all 3 are sitting right behind me. Wise choices to show for 13+ years of playing. I thought I had worn my strat copy out, but a new graphite nut, a trem lock-down and new pups/pots/wiring has her sliding the blues beautifully in open D. I've played many, borrowed some, took 2 on tryout basis, worked on about 25, but never owned any others - yet. Hit every BLUE NOTE baaaby..., I'm going to play on:-" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Summerisle Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 They're like ex-girlfriends. Some you are pleased to have eradicated from your memory, and the rest are too painful to recall. I only think about my here and now guitars, all of which I like. Fender American Standard Strat Epiphone G-400 Rickenbacker 360 Hagstrom Viking Godin Radiator + an old Yamaha acoustic. No plans to add to the list. Well, maybe a new acoustic but I'm not in any hurry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amino Moore Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I don't think I want to make the list it's too long and too long ago for most of them. but the three that got away were: '69 Cherry SG Special, 1982 LPB Fender "The STRAT", and 1980 CSB Ibanez Artist AR300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmcoram Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Ok here goes: Harmony Acoustic '89 Strat body and electronics with Warmouth neck '70's lawsuit Ibanez Les Paul Custom (that one still hurts) '02Squier Tele Special (Hum/Single) '94 MIM Fender Strat '98 MIM Squier Strat '02 Korean Epi Les Paul Classic '05 Squier Strat '96 MIM Fender Strat '06 Epi Elitist Les Paul Custom The lawsuit Ibanez still hurts because it was free, and now I know what I lost. The dad of my girfriend at the time gave it to me. One of the pup rings was broken, so I replaced it, and resoldered the jack. Played it for awhile, but, being the ignorant young man at the time (late '80s/early '90's), I was wrapped up on headstock shape and sold it off. I quit playing for 10 years after I joined the Corps, but when I started again, I knew I wanted a Paul. Eventually found the Clasic, which was sweet, and it held it's own against the revolving door of Strats. Started thinning the herd and finally settled on the Elitist Custom and one Strat last winter. Then the Strat outlived it's usefullness. I'm not playing with anyone, or at church, so I don't need more than one, and the Elitist handles the job. But boy if I had to do it over again!

generation zero Posted January 27, 2009 Author Share Posted January 27, 2009 They're like ex-girlfriends.Some you are pleased to have eradicated from your memory' date=' and the rest are too painful to recall. [/quote'] That's a really good way to put it. I think the only difference is that with guitars, if you really wanted one back, you could in most cases track down another one just like the one you had before on eBay, where as girlfriends, not so much, LOL!
