It may just be a ratty old Eko from a jumble sale or a cosseted James Olsen original but this is the place to show off your guitar collection...

I've got a couple of electrics, a couple of acoustics and some other bits and bobs... here they are. Now time to share yours!

Heavily modded Squier 50s Tele, Simon & Patrick Rosewood Folk and Epiphone EJ200.

That S&P is very similar to my wife’s Norman B6 Folk. Same luthier stable - also a Godin brand. They make some lovely, well priced acoustic guitars. 

 

PS love the finish on that Tele xxx ❤️ xxx

Nice G&S' @TrevorR. 😎

Simon & Patrick in my collection too. @ezbass Bet that sounds lovely.

Can't get picture to show in thread despite trying various methods, so a bit pointless really.

Just drag the pic into the bit at the bottom of the reply box 📦 

Let me know if you want a screen grab to show. Cheers

A 100 watt custom MatampGt1Mk1amp'n'cab,  now manufactured these days by an old school mate a few miles away,  and my Musicman silhouette 6, presently  strung E to E. Got a Rickenbacker 660 in fireglow,  but it's for sale.

Nice! Is this in your house?

Sort of- my studio space in Oxfordshire was on the same property but a separate building.

Currently it is in a shipping container waiting to be delivered to my new studio in Singapore in two days time.

It’s as old as he is.

The amp is an early sixties Gibson GA100, all original.  Amazing sound when cranked and paired with some P90 equipped beastie.

Then there’s the custom shop tele (custom artwork on the scratchplate) and a Squier JV strat with ...50s spec Tonerider pickups, CTS pots, switchcraft jack, 5 way selector, full cloth wire, an original 1950s Astron Hymet wax/paper capacitor, on a custom shop mint green pick guard, strung with flat wounds - sounds and plays fab at a fraction of the cost of an original.

I use the Fenders with the funk band and my Gibson R9 Les Paul with the swing blues band.  I’d like to use the 175 as well but often find I don’t have enough space on stage!

Main amp - Fender Blues Deluxe

That studio of Octatonic’s is SO much tidier than my music room!

God I'm jealous, if it was my gaff there would be one cat kipping on the amp, and another swinging from a guitar strap, I feel better knowing its in a container, smirk.  Hope the move goes well.

I am closet guitarist. This is my third guitar. I have an Ibanez SA and an steel string acoustic, but I couldn't resist this one. An Ibanez 1977 lawsuit-era Les Paul. It needs a bit of love, but in the meantime I can take the opportunity to learn to play. :D

That case looks mighty familiar, I had one just like it for my first 'good' guitar, an Aria LP copy, with bolt on neck (is that rather Ibby a bolt on?). Here's a teenage me with the axe in question...

A new addition to the stable at Ez Towers, an Epiphone Casino Coupe against my Fender Super Champ X2. I've taken off the bright white scratch plate, replaced the white switch tip with a cream one and added a 'closed crown' inlay to the, previously, rather bare headstock.

Yes, my Ibanez is a bolt-on neck. Actually, as my Ibanez LP has a different headstock shape then a Gibson, I suppose it is actually a post-lawsuit guitar. Found a catalogue page for it, here
