RE: your guitars - what guitars do you have

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...
