Rig Breakdown

[Uncensored2008]

@Geeko Sportivo is a musician it turns out. I thought a little non-political conversation on gear might be a nice break.

I have 9 guitars.

My prize is a 1986 Gibson Les Paul Standard, Sunburst. I have Seymore Duncan Jazz Master pickups on the neck, and SD Super Buckers on the bridge. I run EB Cobalt 9's on it.

Next is a Fender Strat - American Professional II - natural finish. Stock pickups. EB Cobalt 9's
Epiphone Rivera II (ES-335) - Bigsby, triple Gibson P-90's with independent volume for each pickup. D'Adsario Nickle 10's for a hotter, heavier tone.
Fender Esprit - Japanese. Seymore Duncan Super Buckers on both bridge and neck. EB Cobalt 9's - VERY LP like, bought it before the Gibson, but it's a great guitar so I keep it.
Guild Starfire IV 12 String. Stock pickups. EB Nickle 8's - bends on a 12 are hard enough. Sounds sweet on Free Bird though.

Acoustic:
Takamine G544.
Ovation Celebrity Nylon Classical
Mitchel 12 string from the 1970's - plays and sounds great - no cut away, no electronics
And then the $50 wall guitar - a Keith Urban acoustic that is teal and has a three piece back in natural wood, just beautiful. Plays like shit - basically not playable - so it just hangs on the wall to look pretty. My son bought it when he first started playing, then found it really wasn't built well. But it looks good.

Amp:

An old, beat up Peavy Delta Blues 30 watt Tube amp. Great amp and really all anyone would need.
Line 6 Spider V 120 with the FBV-3 - I just love the electronics. But it will never sound like the Peavy.

I run a Boss ME-25 for the Peavy

Those are all mighty fine gitfiddles. I'm pretty much a US Strat guy, But.........................I have 35 professional guitars that I have collected over the years. I also collect Tube amps and stompers, vocalizers, and PA sound boards and speakers.

I need to sell them down, as I am moving soon and it's all too much to move. My band members have been buying up my stuff, but I think they have more than they need now.

I may just wait and get a booth at the next Dallas Guitar show and price things to sell,

I mostly just use my Hot Rod Deluxe now, and don't much use those two Fender Twins, or my Fender Quad, or the Concert Pro Reverb anymore. I do use my Fender Accoutisonic 150. I don't much use my Vox AC30CC2 or my Egnator Stage amp anymore either.

Let me know if you need an amp or guitar though!

All you need is just ONE MORE right?
