Hey pal

Well I have a Norman acoustic and an Epiphone Les Paul electric. I enjoy both for different reasons and I'm so used to playing them they're like old friends! I love the feeling of knowing a guitar ...I've tried others that just haven't felt right.

To answer your other thread - in the future I hope to upgrade the guitars I have with new pick ups etc...I have already bought a new saddle for my acoustic just need to sand it down a little next time I change strings as it sits a little high. It would be nice to have a pick up on the acoustic also for recording but other than that I have no ambition to buy new guitars. I have an ibanez I need to get back into action but don't have the room currently to have them all out so that ones up the loft. That's about it

Thanks

Darren

Either one of these J-45 Gibsons.......a 14 fret and a 12 fret.

For some reason I have found 23 guitars loitering in my studio. Some are going to go but at the moment the got to is a Sigma 12 string. £100 on eBay inc hard case. Stays in tune and jangles what more could I want.?
Well possibly a guild 512, but got to sell some gear first. :-(

I got a pretty decent Yamaha dreadnought but I prefer to play the piano.

Depends what I'm using it for. I love all my guitars, and enjoy them all.
Which do I pick up the most often? My acoustic, because it is the most-convenient, as I don't have to plug it in or anything; just pick it up and go.
But, I do love playing loud every now and then. So I love my electrics, too. My Strat is better for nastier solos, my Tele is better for the twangy stuff.
And, my (acoustic) resonator is great for some of the more-fingerpick-y stuff.

I don't have a close relationship with any guitar at the moment. My 'main' guitar that I played and gigged for 20 years finally lost its oomph. I even took it for a fret dress and setup which helped the playability, but it still doesn't have the tone I loved. And now because it's changed it doesn't 'feel' like my guitar any more. I quite enjoy playing my spare guitar which is just a cheapish solid top acoustic (about £250). I forget who makes it.

Maybe it's just me and guitars at the moment but like Martinswede even if I had a posh guitar, I'd probably let it sit there because I prefer to play the piano these days.

My local auction house is selling a baby grand piano this week with no reserve price. There are no local piano businesses and they're notoriously hard to sell. I really need a reason NOT to buy that thing!

So get it done already Tone. Long time dead and all that schitt.

Haha thanks skub. I have two problems. Actually it's only one. My wife will be extremely annoyed. The furniture that's currently in the way means nothing to me, however

My Tanglewoods. I have a lovely Stonebridge, a great Martin, and a fine gypsy jazzer, but the two Tanglewoods are my cheapest guitars and they're the ones I go to.

I have some electrics, too, including my beaten up old 79 Strat, but I rarely play electrics.

I've had a few but my Yamaha LL6 is without doubt the best, I still cannot 'make it talk' but it talks to me!

In about 1983, I had to sell my Gibson Flying V2 in order to survive financially. These V2s are rare beasts as they were only made for about three years - I bought mine new from a local music store in Surrey around 1980.

They hardly ever come up for sale, but I recently took the plunge and purchased a 37 year old V2. Needless to say I paid many times over what I sold the old one for all those years ago, but I just had to have it.  It is impractical (can't play it on your knees without a strap), it's quirky, single coiled and pretty low output. But I tell you, when I got my new beauty in my hands, my fingers started dancing...well, that's an exaggeration, but I honestly remembered that feeling from 30+ years ago. Emotional clap trap? Probably, but for me there is real joy in ownership. Here's the recent addition:

Absolutely stunning Bill. 

I've long yearned after a flying V,two of my favourite players,Andy Powell of Wishbone Ash and Michael Schenker are well known users. I dunno why I never owned one and perhaps now I feel I'm too old and not flash enough to go down that road! 

Anyway,health to enjoy Bill.

I just have to agree, what a beauty. This is the first time in my life I've looked at a flying V and felt that way! Damn it, I can't afford looking at beautiful guitars like this...I just can't!
