Guitar Players?

[mannish]

been playing guitar over 30 years but I do not polish pipes or guitars. I play 'em and smoke 'em
my favorite guitar playing pipe smoker was Albert King, since Stevie got a lot from Albert I suspect Albert influenced the pipe also.
I do apply some oil to my 1934 Gibson L-00 to help the wood - linseed oil is what has been recommended to me. My other guitars I just don't polish or clean - all of them are beat up somewhat..I have around 14 guitars oldest being a 1932 National Duolian metal body

Been playing guitar for around 16 years now. Currently own the big 4 Strat, Tele, Les Paul and SG (no 335 though). Maybe Dr Ducks on the outside of the pipe but I certainly wouldn't try lemon oil.

I've been laying 49 years. If TAD is bad then GAD can be much worse. Some of my guitars.



And my latest.

 

[pipingruotsi]

What about AAD?? lol

 

[mannish]

GAS is bad. I have started making my own strats from unfinished bodies using nitro paint. I have sold a few it's a bad hobby but lots of fun. I use Fralin, Lollar and Chris Klein pickups. I could not figure out pictures.
cool that so many pipe smokers are also musicians

 

[pipingruotsi]

c'mon!? AAD? Amplifier Acquisition Disorder?

 

[mannish]

I never really had AAD or AAS Amplifier Acquisition Syndrome. I have Fender silverface Princeton, Princeton Reverb, reissue Deluxe Reverb and Roland Micro Cube. That pretty much covers all my needs. I use the Princeton Reverb on most gigs

@mrjerke, Stevie Ray smoking a pipe, too cool man, too cool! Looks like a Peterson System at that! No wonder he's my favorite guitar slinger!

 

[papipeguy]

Yeah, I guess I have AAd with about 10 amps in the basement. My main rig is an original Flextone. That does it all for me. My oldest is a Kustom 100 I bought in 1969. Someday I'll need to cull the herd.

 

[smeigs]

papipeguy, I love the gretsch.. sweeeet

 

[papipeguy]

smeigs, that Gretsch was an absolute impulse buy. I "needed" another guitar like another hole in my head but the itch required scratching. It does play real well and it is a BIG guitar.

 

[zonomo]

Now why on earth would I clean my guitar? Never considered it! :D

 

[pipingruotsi]

For the time being, I've cured myself of GAD and AAD. It's way too expensive and I just don't have the room. I'm at a manageable 5 amps and somewhere around 20 guitars. There's a few things that will never leave me though. '63 Brownface Fender Vibrolux, a '63 Ampeg Reverberocket that is one of the last w/tube rectifier, a 1940s Kay archtop and a strat that doesn't have a single Fender part except the pups. That guitar has been with me forever and just seems to know what it should play without me telling it -- couldn't pay me enough to part with it.

I've been playing guitar since high school...more years than I care to mention. This is one of my favorites, an Ovation VXT that I just played at church.

 

[papipeguy]

Wow, I remember those Ovations; yours looks to be in excellent condition. I remember when Glen Campbell was playing those on his TV show.

 

[bludgeoningdeath]

I'm a guitar player but I mostly end up playing bass with my friends. Last instrument I bought was my Rickenbacker 4003 Jetglo bass.

 

[papipeguy]

The Rick 4003 is a very top notch axe. Unique tone of it's own.

 

[kylemaxwell]

I am a bass player, and have been playing around five years. I currently own five basses, with a 2010 USA Fender Jazz being my main axe.

 

[daytonsean]

I want one of these heads. A Randall RM4. Normally Randall makes junky solid state heads. This one is neat because you can swap out cartridges or channels to get different sounds. And it's a tube head.

 

[erichbaumer]

I've been playing for at least 8 years, maybe 9. I came to school as a guitar performance major, and though I switched to English and History I still take guitar and composition lessons. Had a halfway decent band in highschool and did that whole thing. The guitars I still have are a 2003 Gibson Faded Les Paul Studio, 2010 (?) Gibson limited edition Tribal Explorer, ESP/LTD PC-1V semi hollow, a classical guitar and a Breedlove Passport.
