hi, I 've recently acquired my first Ric a 330/6 mapleglo capri and I must say after a week I am still getting into her though I do need to buy a good fitting truss rod key to tweek just that little bit. As to my other babies I have my very first strat like thunder which I bought second hand 30 years ago and have upgrade through time. My second is an aria ta 30 pro II which was my very first new guitar, today only the wood is original and I still use her each week to jam. I have an old acoustic lying around. more recently bought a Taylor t5, one of my fav s a taylor t3 b, a heavily moded gretsch 5120, my plexi dan ampeg and a fender jaguar thinline, oeps nearly forgot my unplayable (nearly) galanti 12 string & my fender p- bass, christ wood and strings are a piling up but I love all my babes dearly.......

Here's my Epiphone S-310 in Jetglo. It's a 1995 that I rebuilt.

Overall:


Body:



Bridge pickup is a 2002 Rick HB1 (15K), middle is a 1968 Toaster (7.9K), Neck is a 1999 Epiphone mini-humbucker (6.39K).

Terrapin Guitars made the pickguard and truss rod cover. I sent them the pickups to ensure that they fit properly. Schaller strap locks keep it safe. Bone nut added as well. 5 way switch, one vol, one tone. It's a nice player!

My other guitars are a Gretsch G6122-1962 country gentleman and Fender Strat. I don't care much for the strat anymore. I use the Gretsch on most of the Beatles songs and some Stones. But you can't beat the Rics for the Beatles especially the 360/12C63.

I love 'em all and play 'm all. They all sound and play different, and one size doesn't fit all, by any means. My favorite blues axe is the Tele, most versatile is the Strat, loudest is the Les Paul. Favorite one's to play (& be envied by other guitar players) are the Rickenbackers!

I traded most of my guitars within the past year. My Gibson, Rickenbacker, and classical guitars are the only ones that I've had for over a year. I got the SG in 2005, Rickenbacker in 2011 (it's a 2009 model), and classical in 2009. I do trades because I want different gear, get bored of what I have, and I can't stand to let guitars just sit in the case. It's like when I had a Facebook; if we don't talk at all, I deleted you.

Some of the guitars I have will never appreciate in value; others will retain it rather than appreciate. I never bought them as investments, but as tools for my music. My amps and choice effects, on the other hand, will increase as time goes on.

I'm inbetween ricks which means I play through this monster:



It plays surprisingly well for a twenty year old Fender that I've broken in half, sawed into, sanded and painted several times.. The back has a 6x6inch square hole cut into it for when I need to poke around. Lol

I never thought that I could be disturbed by a guitar...

I've had it since I was only 13 years old. It's certainly been through the mill. I used to play it at a local college bar during my twenties and not to make it even more disturbing but sometimes I'd play so hard my strumming fingers would bleed and if you look inside the soundhole you can still see. I'm proud of that guitar even though it's worthless. It's my history.

This is my recent acquisition: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqF_Z21_jU8
