daveinspain Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 This is a great guitar paid like, $350 for it and it's in great condition but it's what I will use to take to my lessons or let someone use to jam or what ever. I was always nervous about putting one of my Gibbies in a gigbag to go to my guitar lesson on my bike... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidl Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 This one. Had for about 35 years. MIJ LP copy. All electronics have been changed. New pups are SD 59 in the neck position and SD JB in the bridge. Notice the maple leaf fret markers. Kinda Canadian eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanvillRob Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 None of those guitars above looks like a "beater" to me.... This is my "beater", Three big cracks on the top, headstock broken off at one point. (but it plays like a dream) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pippy Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Strange as it might seem my 'Beater' is actually my '95 R0, 'Marmalade', which you've all seen hundreds of times before.......... P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
69tele Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 my squier CV tele, it got a huge dent on the upper bout even before it got home thanks to monarch airlines. repaired it using some superglue and black paint. i also have a jasmine by takamine 12 string acoustic which is unplayable as a 12 so strung with 6 and is always on a stand in my music room.

charlie brown Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Don't "abuse" my guitars, regardless of price...but, because of the faded finish, this one has the most wear (back of the neck) on it! Love it's tone, look, and playability. So, it get used, quite a lot! CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krock Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 . Take anywhere and mistreat - no worries - ive never seen an ultra with that sort of tremelo bar. what is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 . It's called a Les Trem or Les Tremolo. This particular model, which I thought was the nicest one, isn't made anymore. They're made to go on without drilling or routing - just hook onto the stop studs. Allparts carries them (ABM 5600-G Les Tremolo), but you can find them cheaper on fleaBay. Here's a closer look of the one on my Gibby LP - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 nice axe I also have a faded DC. you changed the pickguard ? Yep...from day one, I changed the pickguard, TRC ('59), and Tuners. There isn't/wasn't anything "wrong" with the originals, I just did it, for "me." CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heymisterk Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Geez, I wish I had some of the "beaters" posted here. Here's my '92 Alvarez-Yairi DY-52N. I have far more memories with this guitar than any other guitar I own. And it is probably the sturdiest guitar I will ever have. Bought used at Elderly Instruments: I have a couple of notes my students have written me over the years taped to the bout. One wishes me good luck for a gig that night!

pippy Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I've just double-checked to make absolutely certain and I can say that I'd be happy to play any of these 'Beaters'! Some very nice guitars here, folks! P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pippy Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 The Joshua A/E, on the left, is my loaner/beater/grabber. I couldn't quite put my finger on what, exactly, was different about the Joshua and then it clicked... The f-holes are the "opposite way round" from the norm (for want of a better term!). Usually the f-hole curves from the centre out-and-backwards where on that guitar they start outside centre and curve back-and-inwards! P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
