You've mentioned your guitars in the past...how many do you have? A bunch right? Still have that Rickenbacker? That was cool.

yeah i've got the rick still, with the cat stickers all over. 1/3 or so of those guitars are my boyfriend's guitars that i've kind of stolen and defiled.
edit: let's see here. these are the ones that actually belong to me:

my first ever guitar from when i was 11 or so was a squier venus, the one courtney love designed, in a nice surf green color. i still play it sometimes though it was collecting dust in my closet for a long time. then for christmas one year i got a strat in a nice pretty green color and it's got cat stickers on it and i put a bob dylan sticker on it as well.
then my dad gave me the thinline reissue and an epiphone dot because he never played them and thought i would get more use out of them i guess. then i bought a beat to shit acoustic for like $50 which i still have and put all kinds of stickers all over it.
and i have that jag (i'm not even gonna say how much that cost) and the rickenbacker and a new-ish fender acoustic and a thunderbird bass. any others belong to my boyfriend or are on loan to me.

i pity you. those are not soapbars. For someone who has a lot of great guitars you should at least know the difference between soapbars and humbuckers. Anyways, get me a picture of your jag.. And yeah, thats a HH CIJ Jag.

anyways, i just jammed with a 60's 335 and it was gentle. I also tried the roland jazz chorus 120 fucker and it was okay, just not my style.

Danny Himself 08.16.2007 03:21 PM

She didn't say those humbuckers were soapbars. Read carefully.

But yeah, I like the look of those HH Jags. They look sexy.

king_buzzo 08.16.2007 05:12 PM

yeah but she probably thinks that the picture shows a jag with soapbars which it doesnt.

Savage Clone 08.16.2007 05:26 PM

...even though she clearly identified a set of soapbars on a previous page.

I'm jealous...

Danny Himself 08.16.2007 06:05 PM

Yeah.. that's a beautiful guitar you got there, Cantankerous.

no shit, sherlock. how did you figure that one out? i was identifying one with pickups other than the usual jag stock pickups.

king_buzzo 08.17.2007 03:21 PM

And? Which one were you identifying? the black CIJ?

the black jag. it has humbuckers rather than the usual jag pickups. i had never seen one with different pickups.
you're a world class twat, you know that?

king_buzzo 08.17.2007 05:05 PM

i do know it. its just a bad day, im kinda tired anyways, yeah there are different ones, like Verlaine's, he's got lipsticks in his Jag, theres loads of modded jags if you check offsetguitars.com or just look at thurstons and lees guitars!

if you ask me, the hh cij jags are total turdery.

ha ha I bought this brick so heavy I love it.
needs some setting up. Action too high, feels a bit like playing a doublebass, which is actually funny but gets tiring soon. The neck is thick ,I'll probably replace both bridge and nut, OR I'll end up having a custom neck done for it).
ops, this is not "the personal bass thread".

Here's a lossy as fuck pic of all my guitars:
 

And my Telecaster:
 

My Strat Rip Off, prior to fitting it with USA Strat Pickups
 

And the body of my Jag

Epiphone Les Paul Custom, Alpine White. The decision to buy it was based on its looks.
I have 3 other guitars, 2 are acoustic. I've stopped buying guitars for a while because I'm getting into other instruments. One day I'll get a 12-string Rickenbacker.

steve newman 05.24.2008 10:47 PM

my geetar, a lp dc '59 reissue. one of the best guitars i've ever owned. lost the rig due to christmas and the little miss thing playing it.
