gilmost Wrote:FYI & IMO
No one should ever feel like they need to apologize for the guitars they play, their EFX rigs, amps, etc. It's all a big ploy by the majors (Gibson, Fender, Digitech, Boss, etc) to sell product...big shock I know. I've played a few Floyd gigs over the past 13 years and no one has ever said "you need to get this..." after hearing them. With Gilmour's recently released "Black Strat" book adding extra credence to my point here's what I've got...

2 electric guitars were assembled (inspired by late night imaginings and a few 12 packs) over the previous decades and worth absolutely nothing on EBay or elsewhere...
Custom "Frankenstein" Strats with components from every corner of the NAMM show from 1979 on...Kahler & Washburn locking tremelo systems, Charvel (unfinished ebony fingerboard, U.S. made 1980) and Paul C. Chandler necks, EMG SA Series Pickups on both electrics, Schecter face plates, all tinkered with indescriminently through the years....

Any guitar will sound great if: #1) in tune #2) played often #3) loved by it's owner & #4) properly intonated (plays in tune all the way up the neck). The magic is all in the hands - work on your vibrato...with your effects off. Not fun to do (I know) but there is a chance you'll thank me later...


a few Floyd gigs..gilmost, you are way too humble and very humorous! Mr. gilmost pays tribute to David Gilmour and Pink Floyd scores of times a year. His mileage on the ground in the states is greater I would guess than any other tribute besides The Aussies. We appreciate your approach gilmost, you rocker

And now the final solution can be applied.

RE: your guitars - what guitars do you have
Well I have this Squier Strat, I don't play that though. I have a Blue-ish purple Fender Strat HSS that I play. It's pretty worn but I like it that way. And I am planning on getting a new one. I'm thinking of either a Gibson SG or a LP.

My main is a Shecter Diamond Series black guitar with white trim. I also have my beginner guitar which was a black and white Fenderish looking guitar made by Turbo. And then I have a bass which I never play but I think its an Aria.

RE: your guitars - what guitars do you have
I own a Yamaha EG112. Fairly cheap but very good quality (as said by somebody who makes guitars by hand here).

But I always wanted a Strat... Someday...

Please check the white balance of your digital camera and adjust the levels accordingly.

Dean,
How can you have freakin' eight guitars, be 15 years old and plastic bed sheets and Hanna Montana night light?
Why when I was your age, my brother and I had two guitars but we had to share the strings and we were damn lucky to have it.
