I just picked up an SE PRS, 2 shows in, it's becoming my favorite guitar to play live, lightweight, versatile, and can sound shimmery or huge. Here are the guitars I normally rotate in and out of live shows

Nothing too special. Have a 2011 (?) Les Paul Traditional, mostly stock besides humbucker covers, knob pointers and a different stopbar. Also have a pieced together frankenStrat that started out with a Kenny Wayne Shepherd signature body, a neck from my first guitar (Mexican Squier Strat), random new hardware, and I can't remember what pickups I threw in it at the moment.

Also have a 4x12 Marshall cab, a Marshall Class 5, a Silvertone 10xl all tube amp, and a Yamaha THR-10. None of them get used even remotely enough. Also made a Dallas Rangemaster pedal clone at one point (a friend etched the circuit board and I assembled it).

Well, nothing special here, but suits me fine. I am just a hobby player. Never played in a band

Ok maybe a little embarrassing here but I bought a first act guitar and amp awhile back because I liked the body style of the guitar and was hoping to get back into it. In my younger days I had a Fender Strat and a Rickenbacker 4001 bass and played in a garage band . We played out once in awhile. Recently I've gotten together with a few guys and we've been jamming a bit for fun and it's been good...playing some classic rock stuff.

This guitar really isn't that bad but if I keep at it I will upgrade soon.

I have had one of these trick gee-tars for well over 30 years, never learned to play it though, but she sure is pretty! Been wanting to ebay it. Sad for it to just sit in the case all these years.

The Black Les Paul in my pic is a '72 re issue of the '54 Les Paul Custom. It's also called the fretless wonder. I'm guessing the '53 you played was similar. And no, no other guitar plays like one of those.

How much you want for it? I have a Steinberger just like that and it's one of my favorite electrics.

It's a 137, maple body with a mahogany center block, basically just a bigger, fatter sounding les paul! Plays and sounds absolutely fantastic but weighs a ton

We saved up enough money for the wedding(s) and had some extra cash.

So instead of putting it aside I did the logical thing and bought the dream guitar.

Granted it'll never sound as good as the acoustic I got 15 years ago that I traded a half bottle of wine and $3 for I'm sure it'll get close.

I had a Tak guitar that looked just like that (don’t think it had the cut away) and got drunk one night and tried to be a rock star and smashed it on the cement. It was a 1500 guitar and my friend tried to stop me but it was too late. I just wanted to know what it felt like to smash a guitar. It didn’t feel like anything special.

Have an old generic fender from a pawn shop buried somewhere that never worked well. Going to rebuild it soon for fun. I have an old Montaya acoustic left to me by my godfather that I learned on and play regularly in standard tuning. Then I have a mid level Yamaha acoustic I play the most tuned to c#. I have these two guitars are on each side of my lounge chair in my office er I mean garage. Have a Jackson sl soloist and Crate 50, mini Fender practice amp and a Line6 I just got from my daughter for bday as well as a Martin composite acoustic electric. A friend gave me an old nameless cheap bass years ago. Good times.

Taylor acoustic and a mex Strat. I’m new to this but having fun. 2nd solo to comfortably numb is giving me fits.

I have a mid-level Yamaha acoustic and a Hamer Centaura like the one in the 1st photo. Someday, hopefully far into the future, I'll inherit my dad's old Martin acoustic and his sweet late Gibson ES125 F-cut (something like seen below).

My bass amp pictured is an Ampeg 500 watt but I just picked up an 800 watt. The cabinets are 2X10 and 1X15.

There are two parts in there that took a while to get down fluid, but you will get there.

This guy has the studio version down, including the down bends.

I never turn it up past halfway:


It's fed by a Gallien-Krueger preamp from the '90s. Oh yeah.

Do I win something for having the crappiest collection? The only guitar of any value is my RG450M with Dimarzio pickups. That thing has amazing tone. Only guitar I use to record with.
