El Toro's Official Guitarded Thread...

[Sleek]

Gigged with the new board last night...it was very good. Saved me a bunch of setup hassle...and it has a built-in booster/buffer that eliminated my need for my CAE clean boost I was using to get the loop return back up to line level, which is very good.

My only qualm is that one of my pedals (micro Pog) takes a higher amperage DC than the board spits out, so I still gotta run it on a wall wart...

I hate when shit like that happens...you know, where they almost make a *great* product, but ruin it with some small, easily fixed detail like not running the 9VDC at 200 or even 300 ma.

I killed the image... it's a red star with white VH tape 1 p/u and a Floyd.

[ElToro]

Argh... a Floyd post on my Strat just broke out.. OUCH!

[wattage13]

See the new LP Studio 50's Tribute Goldtop? Dayum!!! no binding, light satin finish, soapbars, hot diggity! Went to buy one but already sold out. Sounds like Gibby will not be shipping any non-CS stuff for a while, bummer............whatever got out before the flood is it.

[Captain Morgan]

Yeah I saw that! I like that. If my local shop happens to get one I'll grab it.

[ElToro]

I just got a pair of double creme Gibson p/u's for $40 from a pawn shop!!! WooHoo!

Are you going to check and see if they are original PAF's? Pawn shops tend to overlook things like that.

[ElToro]

They're not, but still... double cremes!!!

[Captain Morgan]

Going for a double cream Dimarzio Air Zone - anyone use one? I like the Tone Zone but wish it was a bit more vintage-y.

Well, I didn't buy anything but I did get to shoot some amazing rare guitars yesterday....

This picture has: from front to back...

1959 Les Paul in MINT condition...absolutely stunning guitar.
Behind the '59 is an ES-330
Behind the ES-330 is a prototype LP that was given to Les at a NAMM show a few years back and he used it for guest stars who jammed w/him at the Iridium Jazz Club.


In this shot we have:(Back to front)
Early 70's Gibson Ls-1(I may have the correct year written down at home, I'll check)
1959 Les Paul
2004 or 2005 Joe Perry Signature Les Paul
1960 Gibson LP Jr.
'70 or '71(I think...gotta check my notes) Gibson Doubleneck
The black strat is a "Blackie" Clapton copy done by a local Luthier here in town.


This is a '64 Sears Silvertone amp and a Mary Kaye(her actual guitar...I have the year written down in my notes at home)


So yeah, I got to noodle for a little bit(unplugged) on the '59...and holy shit it felt good and was oozing w/mojo.

We're going to shoot these guitars as well as some other really rare stuff in a recording studio set up pretty soon.

I hate you!

I think I just came!! Love those guitars..

I traded off some parts for Warmoth LP parts... time to screw her together!

I'm not screwing ANYTHING with you.

[ElToro]

Then you'll just get sloppy seconds.

[PAF Pro]

Picked up an SVK '72 Thinline Tele replica......I'll post pics in a day or so(oldest boy ran off w/the digi-cam).

Tobbaco burst finish on quilt top...perfect finish/fretjob on a mild flame-maple neck/fretboard.


Sounds like sex, man....yeah, it's that damn good. ALMOST makes me wanna use the LP for kindling......almost.

[ElToro]

I'm just tinkering. Putting together a Warmoth LP and turning a Davidson LP in a Buckethead for the little man.

[Sleek]

This seems like it might be a good place to put this...

I'm sure you'll all let me know if I'm wrong.

I'm trying to blowout a little project guitar of mine...



Up for sale on ebay as of today.

Who messes up a opererctly good strat by putting stripes and humbucker on it?

[ElToro]

I do! I should have mine back from repair today. The Floyd post broke through on it.

Is opererctly a limited edition?

I have been doing a 5 day guitar building class with Mike Learn. Mike is probably better known for the graphics he has done for Charvel / Jackson over the years. Anyway you build the guitar from scratch, I gotta say it is coming along great. If ya have a FB account check out the progress. http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/alb ... &aid=50058
I'll try and get some photos up here after I finish the class tomorrow. So far the best money I've spent on an instrument yet. Off to day # 4

Mike Learn is the man! He posts at the JCF forums from time to time too, great guy! I can't see the link though, it says "content currently unavailable". I'll check back, but look forward to your pics too! To say you built it under his tutelage is even better than ordering a custom alone! Do you intend to become a builder?

Leave me alone. It was late, and I'm stupid.
