My Guitars 1
Banjos and Guitars are like any other purchase you make.
You get what you pay for - how many times have we learned that the Hard Way ?
Sometimes you dont get what you pay for
Sometimes you pay for a brand, origin or reputation and you may or may not be disappointed.
They say that value is remembered long after price is forgotten. Well I am no expert in buying or in playing, but if can can pass on what I have learned, I am pleased to do that.
These are some of my guitars past and present. Some were fantastic, some very nice, some really bad. If I can find space on this site I will rant about them.
 Hagstrom Ultra Swede My latest squeeze. Cooler than a polarbears bum. This one is a "keeper" |
|
 Godin Made in USA from Canadian parts. Superb Brand. I like my Godin. |
|
 Ibanez AS73 Semi Acoustic From the Ibanez Artcore range. Bought it in Naples Florida from Funky Music. |
|
 PRS SE I went through a phase of buying one PRS after another. This SE model is of course not USA made, but Paul Reed Smith has close supervision of manufacturer. Very very very close to USA standards.
|
|
 Parker P42 Not as crazily expensive as a Parker Fly, but very similar |
|
.jpg) Takamine Takamine mountain is in Japan, and the guitar is made at its foot. Never been htere, but wouldnt mind. I have had three Takamines every one superb. They take some beating |
|
 Fender Squier Standard Telecaster A very nice example of a tele |
|
 Epiphone Les Paul Special Nice guitar, louder than the Studio model, |
|
 Fender Squier Custom Telecaster |
|
 Epiphone G400 Worn Cherry 1962 SG Version Epiphones take on their associate company Gibsons iconic 1962 SG. Its a Blast! |
|
 PRS SE SOAPBAR Super guitar. I have had three of these. You cant go wrong with PRS |
|
 G & L ASAT Superb guitar by Leo Fender after he sold and moved |
|
.jpg) Danelectro One of my few bad choices. I just could not get into this surf sound guitar, and quickly sold it. I had enjoyed the little funky Danolectro guitar pedals but the guitar is ... ... ... Well I will be polite and say it was not for me. |
|
 Jackson Concept Had two Jacksons, but Floyd Rose setups drive you crazy. Tuning - string changes - hard work |
|
 Ovation USA Keep off the grass.... this one was along story. Aluminium neck, bit of a nightmare |
|
 Ovation Headstock Yes, it was |
