Guitar players, show us your daily player.

Post by Gtrclktr-351 »

I have over a dozen guitars. Some are playable, but some need various levels of TLC. All of he playable ones get played occasionally, but I two that share “daily player” status.

Here's one I play all the time. It's a 50's Gibson that my dad dragged home from a flea market about 40 years ago. It was in rough shape when he bought it. It was originally acoustic but somebody made a crude attempt at turning it into an electric at some point a long time ago. There was a big, rough looking hole for a pickup and some plugged holes where somebody tried to undo the electrification. I fixed some cracks and added the pickup and wiring/controls to re-electrify it, the pickup is an old 60's Danelectro "lipstick" pickup. Funky old guitar but still plays and sounds great.

Cool seeing others. Guitars are woodworking marvels, works of art of themselves. And then they make an even better art form in the music they help create. Nothing special here, just a Korean budget axe, 18 years old, but I got the real wood model, top, sides, back, neck are all solid wood pieces, no plywood in it, and the Grover machines. The sound just keeps getting better as a result. Can't beat that for something to look forward to.

I enjoyed looking at the guitars above. Here is a 1985 Taylor 410 that is a stay at home guitar. I guess I've played it more than any other I've ever owned.

I have a dozen guitars too. I love them all and keep at least 6 on stands around the house, kind of in a casual rotation. I usually grab the nearest one just for casual picking. If I have a gig I'll play the one I'm going to use for a couple days just to get used to it because they're all just a little different. My favorite "jammer" is either my '56 Gibson "Country Western" or a' '59 Martin D-18. I rotate them so none of them feels left out.

Taylors and Gibsons and Martins, Oh my!(with apologies to L. Frank Baum)

Seriously, those are some nice "guitfiddles".

Norman is a great Bluegrass mandolin player. Kind of retired now but still great. Have another friend in Farmville. Jim Green, great bass player. My dad was born in Bluefield, Granddad in Pulaski. Our roots are deep around there. ::handshake:: J.O'.
