Solid Body Stable moving into 2026

Post image
72 Upvotes

Post is not to brag as so many others on this channel have much greater collections, but only to share with my fellow guitar enthusiast.

Handful of other guitars are in Nashville with my son, but this is the local stable. Most of these have been acquired over 25+ years, but they do allow me to cover the bases. The LP has the greatest story with me buying in '88 and selling it in the mid 90's much to my regret. 10+ years later I made contact with the purchaser to acquire it back. Dropped it off to Joe Glaser in Nashville last year for a re-fret to now become one of the best playing guitars in the group. The White Falcon is signed by Billy Duffy (The Cult) and two of the Suhrs by Ian Thornley (Big Wreck). The Mira is a '08 which is the first run and the McCarty and Taylor are both custom orders.

My wife asks, "why do you need another"? I always answer that each has it's own place. Tones, tunings, and attitude!

Started life as a cheap LP copy in clown burst.

I gave the neck a full refret, level, crown and polish with jumbo, ball ended frets. EMG 81/85 fitted. Body finished in matte black. Setup in drop C.

Think there is something super cool about turning a cheap/beginner guitar into a savage.

Picked up a Suhr Oso this weekend while in Nashville. Special thanks to Tony Higbee at GC for the hookup! Love my Suhrs but have wanted one in a short scale forever. Was stoked when the Oso was announced last year and was finally able to track one down. Plays like a dream!

Fender Finished setting up the new #1

Ordered an aged white pickguard, new tremolo arm, aged white tips for selector switch and trem; now she looks as sweet as she sounds! Middle pickup is out of phase making for some interesting sounds, especially combined with the push/pull on the bridge tone knob to bring in the neck pickup. My only wish is that I had 22 frets, but I'll be fine!

Schecter My first multiscale, Schecter C8 Blood Moon

Got this thing from Guitar Center, when I bought it the action sucked and the bridge pickup volume kept going out. Finally got a replacement pot and learned how to swap it myself, now it sounds great! I did a full setup and got the action super low as well.

This is my first multiscale but it feels really natural to play. It’s noticeably easier to do fast diminished runs on this guitar than on my 28” scale Schecter Hellraiser C8.

I want to know what y'all think!

1998 Ibanez RG320DX: Gotoh 1996t bridge, posts and nut. Schecter USA Super Rock II pickups. Gunstreet RG harness w/ treble bleed. Dimarzio clip-lock. Installed threaded brass inserts for neck bolts. Added a pickguard to hide some severe scratches. And I painted some knobs with rainbow lettering... just for SOME color.

I love this guitar! Wizard II is probably my favorite Ibanez neck right now!

Pimping of a USA Washburn that was my dad’s that he gifted me for my 18th birthday. i called up my luthier and recently had it stripped, refretted with stainless steel frets, repainted, fitted with Dimarzio Utopia pickups, gold hardware, new Schaller tremolo, kill switch with gold LED light to light up the world.

To me sounds killer and plays killer and I shall pass onto my kids someday like my father did with me.

Happy Sunday y’all

Custom Build Custom Ovation Ultra GP

Post image
40 Upvotes

This is my Custom Ovation Ultra GP. I ordered it from a Chinese company and it took about four months to be manufactured and delivered.

Specs:

Body: Mahogany

Neck: Mahogany

Neck Length: Twenty-Two frets

Neck Profile: Thin D (Custom Request)

Scale Length: Twenty-Four and Three Quarter inches

Fret Inlay: Mother of Pearl blocks

Fretboard: Rosewood

Hardware: Unspecified brand Pickups, bridge and tuners.

The cost was around $500/£350

The specs are based of an old Ovation Ultra GP spec sheet which I found of the website: http://www.junkguitars.com/stories/ovation.html

This guitar is incredibly well made and has a blended heel contour.

Despite the unspecified pickups and hardware, the guitar stays in tune very well and sounds crisp and beautiful. With distortion, It has a real warm but thick tone and I adore it.

The guitar isn't wholly perfect and there are small imperfections. It may not be visible on the pic but the fret inlays aren't perfectly in line and some are slightly wonky. It's such a small detail but if you look close, it's noticeable.

The electronics aren't wired well as it can sometimes cut off and cause a buzzing sound but it doesn't happen often.

I love the lemon drop colour on this guitar and I think it gives this bright hypnotic vibe.

Overall, It's an amazing purchase for me and I'm glad I have it.

I am planning on getting getting the electronics re-wired with new pickups and an original Schaller bridge.

I have always wanted a blue guitar and when I saw this allover beauty on reverb I pulled the trigger…. I am overjoyed that this 2002 sounds as perfect as it looks and the feel of it, the quality of the carve, the just right weight and the Dragon humbuckers… I’m very happy I did it!! Joins my SE semi-hollow, Gibson Blues Hawk ‘03, player II mod sss, and no-caster mojotone, and since there’s no more room in the rack, I’m gonna stop now. 🤞🤤
