All guitar players sign in here

i've got 4 and only ever play two (and even then thats only when number 2 is closer to number 1) i seriously doubt i'll buy another guitar

i've cut down on them over the past couple of years, at one point i had 10 or 11 now i'm down to 5. but will be 6 when my projects done.

if i ever have a 6th guitar it'll either be a mk1 sambora strat or a project guitar. there's really no guitar i could buy off the shelf that i reckon could be better than my ASAT

Those g and l.s are pretty good, im sure if they had the cash for marketing they could be as big as fender. Ps my mate is a g and l dealer so if you want another let me know.

andy

lol you shouldnt have said that. the only mass manufactured guitar id pick up would be another g&l. maybe a fat legacy or a classic asat.

k maybe the odds of me picking up another guitar are slightly higher than i first admitted

how much of that stuff do you actually play regularly? thats ALOT of gear.

I usually play through most of the effects, the danelectro talkbox and digitech talker are boxed up.

Because i converted my loft i have a whole room for my guitars. All of them are wall hung. The pedals are wired up then to an amp switcher to select 1 of any 3 amps or all 3.

I tend to go through phases as to what i play at the moment its my aztec gold sambora (cant put it down) nut next week who knows.

You would be suprised as i play most of them. When they were in my room at home it was a pain to get them from the case and set the amps up etc. but when they are all ready to rock you can take your pick, excuse the pun.

also forget to mention i also have a thd hotplate to keep the neighbours happy.

If you ever come to birmingham youre welcome to come and have a play.

Andy

sounds like a great set up.

i dream of having a room when i get my own house where ive got a set up like that.

all my guitars within easy reach, my pedal board rigged up to a few amps, my v drums set up and a small PA so i could have jam parties n stuff with all my recording gear set up so i could be bothered to do it alot more.

i'm not sure the future mrs Jim Bon Jovi (if she even exists) would be so into the idea though :'-(

Yeah mate its wicked, beacuase i did the work myself the structural bits only cost a grand. I even put a toilet and basin up there for when im drinking or my mates are sleeping up there. the loft stairs fold up so i can lock myself in. i also put a window in and added a rad and air con. It has built in storage so all the cases are hidden away.

I also built a guitar service bench for string changes and set ups.

My next purhcase is a projector and screen for up there. its not quite finnished yet but when its painted and carpeted i will get some shots up.

I was also considering buying a neon fender dealer sign off ebay but the guy wouldnt budge on the £100 asking price

Andy

Andy are you rich lol??

i mean i can buy guitars most of the time but thats money from gigs and work, are you a session musician or somethin??

my house aint big enough for most of my gear so its all at the drummers safely tucked away.

i just keep my GT, jackson an GT8 with my roland cube 60 practice amp here at home and my epi LP standard at duffs.

most of the time i dont use all of my gear i could sell half of it but id rather keep it just incase and to show off of course lol
