All the guitars you've ever owned

Josh · Post by **Josh** » Tue Jul 21, 2009 1:41 pm

I started playing in the late 90's and still kinda suck today.
After seeing a video of Smells like teen spirit my dad bought me a copy of the cassette.
I borrowed my friends SG for a month learning starter songs. Than decided to buy my own guitar.
In 2001 i think, maybe 2002. For my birthday I got my real guitar. A shit squier affinity strat, i say this b/c the neck radius was so thin. I still have this guitar and once I get a new neck it will be played again.
After having a guitar for a while and becoming kinda good and hacking led zeppelin songs, I bought a bass.
My first bass was a Homebrew P Bass that some guy make that needs redone also. It had a monster thick neck.
My next guitar was a fender telecaster, which i need another of. From the standard series, after I switched the bridge out I was in love. The guitar worked for me. But my more like for led zeppelin made me want a Les Paul.
So I traded in the telecaster for a wine red les paul epiphone.
It was a good guitar, until everything went wrong on it, plus it was heavy, really heavy. It got retired at a band practice when the headstock snapped off.
In the fall w/o a guitar, my buddy vince sold me a 1960's teisco guitar, with an sg body and 4 of those squeely pickups. for 40 bucks. Which worked good, it had a good neck. This also needs rebuilt.
That winter with a lot of change in my pocket, i bought a classic player jaguar, and never looked back. At this point no guitar could ever replace it, and the only addition to the family would be a telecaster, a duo sonic, or a new p bass.

The humbucker that used to be in the neck of my Cimar tele was like this; sounded ace too.

Made me lol. I heard fender did this with jazzmasters in the '80s
No this is all CIJ Jazzmasters ever. They're tall and skinny like Strat single coils, not flat and wide like proper Jazzmaster single coils.

I had a Columbus LP briefly that had fakey humbuckers.

That name rings a bell. Theres a columbus mustang copy near me, blue finish, black guard and jag trem.
Neck is abit shit though.

You're 16 this year.

it is 2009.

Assuming late 90's you mean 1998, you started when you're 8 (?!) and you have no aptitude for the instrument?

Started playing when I was 9, have gotten way better than in '99, but in the last couple months have not improved.
And sublimedo, i mean't the neck at the first 5 frets was cramped, too cramped to play anything.

At least it's vaguely close, sonically- that LP just sounded like a shitty Strat but I was too young to know better!

First guitar ever was a Harmony hollowbody I bought at a yardsale for $5. My ex-bassist currently has this.
Then I had a teisco bass that got stollen by a dude named Brian Pollara.
While having these instruments I put almost no effort into learning them.
Then I bought a Squier P-bass with teh intention of learning, but quickly discovered I didn't enjoy playing bass.
Eventually I ended up with an epiphone LP special II with a stupid skull and anarchy symbol on it, free from ex-drummer.
(He was trying to get me to learn guitar for the band.)
Then... I bought the MIM duo-sonic that would eventually become the Franken-sonic.
Owned a burst jagmaster for a week, hated the finish, the pups, the guard and the trem. Used the neck for frank, sold off the body.
Traded in the LP, which I hated, for an eastwood Hi-Flyer, which I love.
Bought a rogue shortscale accoustic, which is unbelievably cheap but I love.
Then I purchased a '51 on a whim for $70 only to discover it's a great guitar. Knocked Frank out as my go to guitar.
Bought a Gibson Les Paul body which I just finished loading.
Sold off the P-bass (which was used maybe 3 times) and the Franken-Sonic (which has had the hell played out of it) to Jimmah.
And finally bought the Teisco Mustang copy off of Hotrod that is now code-name Kali.
Next up... Squier M-80 when I track one down affordably and a Telecaster of some sort. And at some point... a jazzmaster. Preferable the Mascis sig.
