My other obsession

And a cool photo effect from an iPad app called ToonPaint.

Now that is my idea of a good day. A good pipe and playing some guitar. I'm more of an acoustic man, but nothing relaxes the soul like a fine 6 string. My personal "baby" is a martin D-15.

Very nice Kingsmedic, and welcome.

Looks like a 52' reissue tele in the background,and a strat your playing??Les paul and another strat on the wall?? :roll:

 

[kingsmedic]

American Vintage Hot Rod Tele on the wall, Carvin CS6M, Tak 523SC, old Aria Beater. Playing a 92' American Fender Floyd Rose Classic Strat. The bird on my shoulder is some kind of conure( not sure of year or country of manufacture) but he rocks out!

Guitars are something like my 5th love. Pipes, books, music, trumpet and guitar. So far. Currently my favourite is a Dean Vendetta II. Light weight cheap thing, but it can sound amazing

:D Welcome to the forums Kingsmedic, these guys are a lot of fun!
I'd been playing since 1970 or so,....but can't anymore. Just the other night I tried to play one more time, but arthritus has pretty much put my left hand out of commission. I may have a few up for sale pretty quick.
Again welcome,....and post a few pics of your guitars.

Sorry about the arthritis. That's one of my biggest fears is not being able to play.

 

[papipeguy]

Carvins are a great line. I have a Holdworth H2 and an AC-175 among my other 20+ axes.

 

[collin]

Well, thanks for that Kingsmedic. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

The inability to play that is,....not the arthritis.
Here's an cruddy pic of my favorite, 1978 CBS model.

 

[kingsmedic]

Looks well loved! I don't have a 70s era strat, but really like the headstock shape from that period. Nice axe!

 

[schmitzbitz]

Very nice; I really like the Carvin which surprises the hell out of me, usually large inlays in the fret board and gold hardware send me running...
Of my collection, my favourites are an '83 Larrivee electric neck-through-body (similar shape to an Ibanez Roadstar, upgraded to J.B. Special P/U at bridge and mid, EMP Intruder at neck), and a '62 Hohner dreadnought accoustic.

I looked at your first picture and thought, "Nice axes-wait, is that a Blockhead in the background?"
Glad to see I wasn't crazy incorrect.

 

[kingsmedic]

Yep, turned my kids on to Gumby. Always liked the blockheads ( rooting for the bad guys)

Thanks shcmitz. The CS6 is a great axe, only regret on the build was not going stainless frets.

 

[fullbent]

I dig then Fenders!I'm a Fender / Gibson kind of guy.The others are nice too.
