The Guitar Appreciation Thread - Nubblies.net Forums

Pliedes · 02-04-2004, 01:35 AM

This thread is for all things guitar. Feel free to post pictures of your gear and talk about anything guitar-like.

When I'm back in town this weekend I'm taking pictures of my whole rig, so I'll post them on here as soon as I get the chance.

For now, I'll post a picture of this beauty which I will soon be obtaining...

Titan · 02-04-2004, 01:53 AM

Here's a picture of me testing out my new Super Mega Mesa Marsh amp at high volumes. Oh, it's rare, it's loud, it's only suited for Ninjas. This particular instance is just after I flipped out and killed someone, you'll notice the entire background is covered in blood. I of course am spot free because I can flip out and kill people without getting any blood on me, being a Ninja and all.

Oh, and that's not a head-band, it is the intestines of my enemies.

I've also got a strat copy and a '50s vintage Epiphone banjo... I had a squier strat for a while too, but never liked it.

that's my brother's dijouridoo in one of the pics

Bitchin' guitars, huge fucking pictures. That hollowbody looks nice, how much did you grab it for?

Orgazmo · 02-04-2004, 03:46 AM

Fuck the guitars, that's a pimp as shit didjeridu.

StDx · 02-04-2004, 04:01 AM

I've ensmallated the pictures for ya. I got the hollowbody shipped from Vegas for right around $170... not bad, huh?

they discountinued that model in black, so for a while you could pick them up for next to nothing. It's really funny how a black one would go for around $200 but the other colors are still $400-450

Pliedes · 02-04-2004, 04:05 AM

That's a fucking great deal.

Now I'm kinda excited to take some pictures of my rig...

Fruitacious B · 02-04-2004, 11:53 AM

I'm still playing out of my $17 Fender Squier Stratocaster, because I'm a cheap sonofabitch. I will hopefully soon be playing a mid-80's Epiphone Genesis, but we have to have the neck and headstock fixed before I can. Acoustically, I'm playing an Oscar Shmidt, it's like the Squier of Washburns, so yeah, I'm not sporting my ideal guitar yet, but if I was it would be this.......

I've been hunting the wide world of ebay, and I've found a few sg's a lot like that one that I damn near bid on, but my father recently proposed that instead of spending money on a new guitar, that I could just spend the money on pimping out my Squier. The latter of the two options sounds a lot more fun to me. So I think I'm just going to put new pickups, tuning locks, paint, and whatever the hell else I want on to it.

Pliedes · 02-04-2004, 01:19 PM

Fruit, if you're really going to pimp out your squier, then start a new thread on here and let the rest of us help you out with it. I love projects so much, this could be fun.
So yeah, new thread, picture you of your current guitar, name your budget, lay out a few ideas, and tell us what your eventual goal is. Do eet.

Fruitacious B · 02-04-2004, 01:21 PM

Will do, I'll get on that when I can take pictures of my current set up, so it might be a little while.

Titan · 02-04-2004, 06:42 PM

That is a beautiful little guitar there my friend. If I could play the guitar, I would get one that colour. Plus I've always liked the shape of the SG's anyhow. Reminds me of the one Pliedes smashed at the Relay for Life show. Except the creme one there's even prettier. That would be a sleek deal.

StDx · 02-05-2004, 02:23 AM

ah, gibson fans... look what I found

gibson acoustic probably from the mid to late 50's maybe early 60's that used to belong to my grandpa.

that's an epiphone (G400, I think) that I found at a pawn shop in fort wayne... not bad for $200

This is a gibson sg that my dad bought new... I think it's a '65

all the boys on an unmade bed.

Pliedes · 02-05-2004, 02:32 AM

How much you want for the '65 SG?

StDx · 02-05-2004, 02:41 AM

not for sale.

Pliedes · 02-05-2004, 02:43 AM

If there was a *shakes fist smiley, I'd be using it right now.

Pliedes · 02-09-2004, 06:06 AM

Bitches, I'm getting this (well, maybe not this, but the Epi version)

St. Anky · 02-09-2004, 03:34 PM

speaking of guitars... Pliedes, isn't a certain meeting past due?

fancymeghan · 02-09-2004, 06:19 PM

shit, i don't play guitar, but i'd sure as hell learn if someone wanted to give me such a bitching guitar...

Pliedes · 02-09-2004, 10:12 PM

Squirt!

Jewbie · 02-10-2004, 10:18 PM

I am not going to post pics..but I have a Segal 12 string, I love to play it but its a bitch when you get new strings and need to tune often..I have a washburn Maverick series electric...Epiphone classical..Godin electric/ acoustic, and a Squire Bass. For hardware i have my first pedals wich were Zooms. Now i have a Digitech GNX3...i like i but i wish i would have hunted a little more before purchasing the work station...and i have a little Ibanez practice amp and a larger Pevey amp that equips three guitars and vocals. I was also given a pre-amp by my mom...thanks mom. Thats about it. I am lusting after a couple of taylors i have played, and when i come into some money i hope to buy. I also want to purchase an old hollow body jazz guitar.... the sad thing is i dont have a band to play with and use all of these nifty gadgets and guitars.

Pictures, my friend, pictures!

[ps - the pics of my rig will be up after this weekend...]

Pliedes · 02-24-2004, 03:30 PM

Alright, I couldn't get all my shit together for one big group picture (plus I have some new stuff on the way, so I'm waiting...).

Anyway, here's my electric setup at school...

Jewbie · 02-24-2004, 04:58 PM

I cant touch it so i dont know how it plays, but from the looks of it...I'm in love. Don't worry if it is missing tomorrow...actually maybe you should...caue you will never se it again..muhaha

Pliedes · 02-24-2004, 05:31 PM

Ah, just wait for the picture of my whole rig... mwuhahhaaaa (god i'm a loser.)
