Let's have a thread about guitars

Any one want to buy one of my gibson les pauls limited edition studios? I have a blue one and a yellow one w/ dirty fingers. Conditon 9-10 on the blue and the yellow 10/10.

I've only got one guitar at the moment: an '88 American Standard Strat

But I've got several basses:

• 1990 Pedulla Pentabuzz (4-string fretless)
• 1972 Fender Jazz (bound-n-blocked neck)
• 1988 Steinberger XM-2
• 1990 Steinberber XQ-5
• 1994 custom 5-string neck-thru (wenge/purpleheart neck; walnut body; zebrano/ebony top)
• 1997 Squire Vintage Modified Fretless Jazz
• 1996 SX Jazz (5-string fretless)

Just sold my SWR Redhead combo last month. Now I'm down to just one amp: a Phil Jones Bass Briefcase combo.

I am.. but I am also fairly broke :(

Let me know how much you want for it.

I need to sell my Black Gibson Epiphone Les Paul. Anyone interested?

Sorta cleaned up the dorm room and got my shit in one corner. The Peavey combo is just visiting, it's waiting for tube and fuse replacement. The smaller 2x10 is my Univox U400G, which was apparently only made in 1970 and 1971. Sounds great clean, and drives awesome with the Blues Driver I'm borrowing from a friend :D

This may have already been covered, but...

I'm thinking about picking up an acoustic guitar to toy with. I haven't the slightest clue what I'm doing though.

I was thinking about buying a Little Martin (cost about $280). Mostly because I hear good things about Martin, and I travel a lot. The reviews I read say that its got a big sound, and shouldn't really be taken less seriously because of the "little". Any one have any experience with these? Would I be better off with something else?

There are a lot more small, reputable luthiers making acoustic guitars than electric guitars. Furthermore, there isn't an established "sound" that's desirable and associated with a maker - it's rare to hear someone saying "I want a guitar that sounds just like a (acoustic guitar brand)". Go to a guitar shop, and play around with a few guitars. Grab a couple in your pricerange, find something you like about their sound (bright, rich, hollow, various sound-y adjectives), and ask the sales guy what makes them have that sound (and if he can find you some other examples).

Acoustic guitars are a lot more personal than most electrics - it's the sound, not the name on the headstock. Picking one that you'll enjoy is akin to getting a suit tailored :)

Father/son jamming is great if you have similar tastes :D

Then we should have the most fun that can be had with clothes on and without needles being involved haha.

I was about to post about the BOSS blues driver pedal I just bought but I see it's in your pics. I absolutely love it, I have an epiphone Les Paul playing through a Fender Junior Blues tube amp. And by the way, is that a Firehawk? Beautiful guitar. I'm still a newb at electric but getting better quickly

Yes, I enjoy the blues driver a lot. My keyboard amp doesn't do anything else I play on justice though so that is the next step...

And that guitar is a nighthawk. It is my favorite guitar. I love it.

Im about to give my dad a Squier bass for Xmas. Its been his life dream to learn bass guitar and I hope to christ I can help him out with that. He keeps saying that he's too old to learn and all that bullshit. I dont think he has the self esteem to try and make the effort. Which is VERy rare for him to not have confidence about something.

here's a cool shot of the amp I have, taken by someone who is not me:
