Very nice!
I look forward to seeing the Duke photos, been looking at the Mojo.

Yeah, I've been lusting after a Duke for a year and a half now, finally pulled the trigger on one after the ToneFest. Played a Mojo for the first time, too. Very nice! :cool:

Here are a few Les Pauls: 2 Customs, 2001 R9, 1960 Authentic, and on the far right Dean's (aka Pink Strat) 1960 Authentic...this guitar absolutely kills and has a tone very reminicient of Clapton's "lost" Beano burst. So, we named it the "Found" burst. He was kind enough to leave the guitar in my care for a few weeks while he is away! I just got my 1960 Authentic yesterday. Needless to say, Deans burst was the yardstick.

Lastly, A Ric 370 and a custom made replica of Randy Rhoads' Polka Dot V.

[Nickcha]

I feel so old and ugly after looking at all those beauties...

This one is packed up and headed to Greg Wilson (1959Burst)...

http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2001-12/6752/BodyCloseincase.jpg



....and it will be replaced by this one (still in gestation)...

http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2001-12/6752/StratBack.jpg


This Swamp Ash body is 2.6lbs and will be a 6.5lbs '56 style faded Blonde Strat with fat C traditional neck and Rolph pups...not quite as ugly as the '62, but I feel I'll be doing my part towards racial harmony.

[PinkStrat]

Hi Nickcha,

Who are you using for the finishing of the new "parts" Strat?

Best,
Dean

Dean,

Manny from Vintage-Replica.com (http://www.vintagereplica.com/Home.html) is doing all the work on the body and neck. Jim Rolph is winding my pups, George Alessandro is wiring my guard, and I, myself am adding the mojo. ;)

Rolph's pretenders.

Ed,

That thing must sound terrific. The Rolph Pretenders are unpotted and sound like they're alive. I love them in my R7

[Nickcha]

http://s56.photobucket.com/albums/g163/PinkStrat/


Dean! The "Found Burst '60" is gorgeous! I'm gonna have to get with Patrick while you're away and try it out. ;)

[PinkStrat]

Hi Nickcha,

Gorgeous isn't the word man....SURREAL is more like it. I love the plaintop's tone much better than their flamed counterparts. Now, if I could only grab the picture of it to post here within the window!

Dean:confused:

[Nickcha]

Dean,

Rotate it 90 degrees (a quarter turn) to the left, and afterwards, size it to 600 pixels across and default the length of the pic, allowing it to re-size in proportion.

Here's a picture of my '58 RI. Anyone know how to take better pictures of guitars? Without the flash, it's too dark, with it, there is glare.

Steve,

Looks like you have an "instant Keef" model (1957 LP Custom that is)? Um, yummy! One of the best Les Pauls I ever played was a 1960 Black Beauty with 3 PAFs. Shoulda bought it for $5,000 back in 1994...It had that "Midnight Rambler" thang goin' on in EVERY SENSE if the word!:D :eek:

Hmmmppphhh....Stratless.

[Hackubus]

Hmmmppphhh....Stratless.
Yup. On purpose too. Got some Esquires, so I'm not a complete Fender-hater or anything.

[beerts]

okay, you guys win! but I'll still offer up my modest family of axes...
'77 Alvarez Yairi
ancient Fender lap steel
old beat up (and slightly modded) Ovation Viper
and '95 American Tele

it all works for me!

:D Actually, how could you have any room to hate Fenders with all that love comin' off those sweet Gibbies.

Hey! Good to see you here. Those Alvarez Yairis are really great guitars. The new ones are very impressive.

I did a double-take on that Viper. Boy, I remember those. Here's me with one of the UKIIs. We had 2 of them in the band...and No, I didn't play with the Raspberries. :D

http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2001-12/6752/Nickyinthe80s.jpg

[mutley]

Thanks, Nickcha. Tone of that guitar is very throaty. It's 9lbs. and a joy to play. I only wish I could post better pictures. For some reason I'm having a tough time getting pictures up on this site. Haven't had the problem anywhere else, although most likely it is a "user" thing.

Hackubus, wow! Looks like guitar heaven on your back porch!!!:eek:

A few of these might be going away in favor of an awesome Green Gretsch Sparkle Jet I've got my eye on.

I have become a monogamous guitar guitar guy (although I do have several basses).

I picked this up last Friday:

I'd wondered who grabbed that BOTB - I was out of town when it became available and didn't see it until we'd returned from visiting family over Christmas. Nice score, JofZ! You've some really sweet guitars

[exhausted]

just the gibsons for now.

my SGs, an 01 cherry standard and an 04 naturalburst standard.

http://brehell.ca/greg/pics/guitars/SGs_sm.jpg

my LP, a 96 custom.


http://brehell.ca/greg/pics/guitars/lespaul.jpg

[Pacomc79]

Hey when did you get a cherry Greg?

[exhausted]

late last week. another crime of opportunity. whoever owned it played it a ton but didn't abuse it at all. it's perfectly broken in and feels much better than the 04. it's funny. it's been around the block but there's still plastic from the pickguard cover under the screws.

it was a stupid purchase but i have a problem...:o and really love SGs.

[Pacomc79]

nice. I've always liked SG's too. Now you have a really nice leftorium up there in Calgary.

[exhausted]

yeah, it's getting kind of pathetic. i should let go of some stuff. i may sell my bass off. i can't decide for sure.
