My Decision Is Eddie Van Halens Frankenstrat

I guess we'll have to disagree again. I like the Warlock - but say in an white pearl or a green metal flake colour.

I'm partial to T-style (a.k.a. Telecaster) guitars. Although I recently took a liking to the Epiphone Wilshire. Just waiting for a lefty model to snag one. I'm pretty conventional when it comes to guitars. I also prefer natural finishes.

Just give me the Classic Strat. White, Black, Sunburst any color really. I'm not really into all the extras.

I love Gibson guitars. Classic Les Paul is icon of rock and roll, and it has one of best designed bodies ever.



Anyhow, Gibson ES is by far most prettiest guitar ever made. I'm in love with design and sound of that beast!

^^ I agree, I love semihollows in that style, both the look and the feel. ^^

This Casino is full hollow. I love I love the look. I have an Ibenez Artcore semihollow. I switched the pick ups and put on chrome pup frames. It sounds and looks better. I can't find a pic of it though...So you get the Casino pic instead.

^^^ I wrote a message earlier today about how I've been jonesing for a Casino, but my computer ate it.

I've really been into the sound of P90 pickups lately - love their biting bluesy snarl. I also like hollowbodies a lot, so a Casino (or a cheaper copy, such as a Xaviere) will most likely be my next electric. (plus the Beatles liked them a lot!)

The Epi Wilshire looks interesting too....hmmm, will have to read up on them, didn't know they had P90s.

I have an Ibanez Artcore too Tomcat. I've got an AF75 with TVJones pickups. Its one of my favorite guitars.

I really dig the way Les Pauls look, and in general I prefer the sound of humbuckers to single coils. But I love the way my strat feels when I play it, plus its a lot lighter than my Les Pauls. I think I still prefer the Les Paul though....just suits my style of playing better.

I have a couple of Tele knockoffs that are fun to play (especially when doing twangy chicken pickin'), but I've never found them to be as comfortable to play - some of my favorite players favor them though.

TV Jones! Cool! I wanted a Gretsch. If I ever got another electric I wanted to put those in it. Actually, I was thinking of another Ibanez, like yours, and then have TV Jones pick ups installed.

I have an AS 73, That transparent cherry red one. I have black seymour duncans in it. I have a Jazz pick up in the neck, and a JB (I think it is) in the bridge. It was a set. I got it pretty cheap at GC. I was mainly interested in the neck pup. Everything else is stock. Then I have the chrome frames. I mainly play acoustic, and don't use a pick so semis just felt right. I have a really small fender tube amp.

^^^ an AS 73 cool! I have seriously been ******* after one of those as well...they're very much in the style of the ES-335. I got lucky and found the AF75 with the TVJones pups already in it, and they do give it a Gretschy-vibe. I had an AG75 before, but sold it.

Ah, tube amps are the best! I just play at home these days, and mostly play through a couple of low wattage tube amps (I have'em hooked up so I can play through two at the same time). I've got an Epiphone Valve Jr. that I run through a Weber micro-mass attenuator (at 5 watts, its still too loud for an apt. without an attenuator), and a Blackheart 1 watt Killer Ant. I also have an old Capri Alamo tube amp from the sixties, that I think is about 3 or 4 watts.

ROCK ON, Tomcat!
