    Vintage Fender 1961 and 1965 Jazzmasters

    Beauts! Always wanted a '60's Jazzmaster. Never entered in my orbit, though.

    I’ve never really got the whole “vintage burst” thing.. but..

    Epiphone Joe Pass and all that jazz

    Yep, those new Rivieras look mighty tempting.

    Epiphone Joe Pass and all that jazz

    Wow, that's a coincidence. I picked up a chinese Casino recently too, and it is the woodiest thin line I've had. Sounds purdy darn good as an un-plugged plinker. (y)

    Epiphone Joe Pass and all that jazz

    I have a '78 ES 175 that just kills. Problem is it's just too boxy. I've grown to like 335 style guitars. Can't find one with enough wood in the tone, though. :cautious:

    Reunited! 1990 Fender Custom Shop Stevens LJ #14!!!

    Not sure I'd be hip to dead friends calling me.....

    Much respect for Joe B

    I like him a lot. Needs to ditch the act, though. Just needs to simply walk on stage like Jimmy Vaughn and kick some a$$.

    Gibson Crest

    Strings Question

    I bounce between Fender and Gibson a lot. I find the slightly slinkier feel with a top wrap is closer to the Fender scale feel. That way change between scales isn't so distracting. YMMV

    1960 Gibson ES-345

    Hi Mike. I won't ask you what you paid for it but, say this was 10 years ago, would you have payed more or less the same? Tks

    Low Action Acoustic Guitar???

    I picked up a Chet Atkins SST a few years ago. You can keep the Gibson electric feel. Of course, you'll have to work on the amplification as it is a bit tinny compared to a true acoustic. It can be done, though. I'm fairly happy using it with my Silverface Pro Reverb with the bass/mids...

    EMG active pickups - no sound?

    "EMG active pickups - no sound?" They are better that way! ?

    Epiphone Casino Natural

    I picked up an ebony faded 6-8 months ago. By far my favorite plinker. Sounds unusually good/clear unplugged which makes it great to grab and go. Best of my 6-8 semi-hollows (unplugged). Electronics are fair. A tad boomy perhaps. Could use more upper fret access, too.

    EDS 1275 Gibson SG

    Admittedly, it is a bit of a closet queen...
