The Guitar Player Thread.

[Jake-41]

Fellow guitar players, let's talk.

I only know a few that actually play on here. But anyway, let's just gather around this thread and talk about guitar shit.

I'll start the conversation with.. What guitar ya got? Pics if ya got em'.

[Tyler41]

epiphone les paul junior, squire strat, a couple acoustic guitars, and an ibanez bass

[Nic]

Tom Delonge Strat, Martin Acoustic, a shitty bass I painted pink and a shitty squire. Ill take pics later.

My real gem is my '59 Fender Bassman LTD Reissue. I'll also be building a tele this summer.

I hear those Delonge strat's are sweet.

And if i ever could, I'd build my own guitar. I love tele's. On a side note, how are those Deryck Whibley sig's?

[Jake-41]

Also, Jeremy is NOT aloud to post in this thread. Even though, he's actually the entire reason i bought my 72 tele. Which is weird, cos I'm guessing he bought his cos Deryck.

On a side note, i didn't even know he was on this website until late after i had joined. I used to watch his vids, though.

[Jake-41]

Holy shit, i love that Gretsch! Nice bass too.

[samueeL]

That Gretsch is fucking sweet. I've been thinkin' of buying that exact model too!

[Max]

That Gretsch IS nice! I also have that same strap you have on your bass.

[Oli3L]

Tele like Deryck's, Squier Esprit and some acoustic shit of Montana..

I have a question for you guys who are also recording..

How do you record your music? outer-sound card? mic? directly to the computer?

[5736655]

I've got a PRS Singlecut SE, a Ltd. FB-200 (baritone guitar ^^), an acoustic guitar by Walden, a shitty strat copy from Jay Turser.

[Jake-41]

Phew, if i had the money, I'd buy a PRS.

And still, Jeremy hasn't posted on this thread..

[Gutter Dreams]

I have a shitty local guitar, a Fender '72 Tele Deluxe (of course :P ) a Martin Acoustic and a Squire Jazz bass.

[Jake-41]

You have a '72 tele too?

Wow, that's like 6 of us on this forum, lol. How do ya like her?

[FedXX]

i got a white SG with emgs, a starcaster (fender) acoustic, and my first guitar a first act acoustic (its my baby)

[Nic]

I am so surprised Jeremy hasn't pounced on this thread.

[Ken]

Havent posted here in awhile...hope no one hates me still (if you do...sorry in advance).

I have a Fender Telecaster, a crap Squier Acoustic, and a small Yamaha nylon guitar.

I hope to sell the last two (yeah...dont know how I'm gonna sell the Squier), but I'm probably gonna save up for a Taylor Big Baby Acoustic. My dream guitar is a Gibson ES-335, a Gretsch wouldnt be too bad either.

[Jeremy Kill]

Haha, it took me a while to make a post because I wanted to get some updated pics up, but these will do. I have little stories about some of my guitars.

Warmoth/Fender Custom: AKA My Baby


The body was built by Warmoth Guitars and has a belly contour cut (found on a '72 Tele Deluxe if you have one) and has a pewter finish. It's obviously just Deryck's Telecaster HH. I originally wanted to have a metallic sherwood green finish, but I wasn't sure how good it would look, so I just stuck to (what I knew) the pewter. I also wanted to have a custom neck with custom inlays, but it was getting too expensive so I just got a Joe Strummer neck from eBay. The pickup is a Seymour Duncan SH-4.


No points for whoever gets the quote because it's not hard, haha. I also have my name and birthday engraved on the back on the neck plate.

The Deryck Replica

I never would've made this if Deryck would've just put out a legitimate signature guitar like most artists with Fender and not put out a guitar made with a cheap pickup and cheap wood. At the time I heard Deryck was putting out a signature, I couldn't help but want it so bad. But 2007-2008 was just a disappointing time for Sum 41 for me. Anyway, the history is all here:

Billie Joe Signature

I really wanted a Les Paul Jr. but at the time I wanted one all they had were Billie Joe customs. Gibson didn't have standard Les Paul Jr.'s around until later in 2008 in vintage sunburst and white. But by that time I had my mind made up to get the Billie Joe. I don't regret it. It came with a nice case and I'm in love with the finish. I wondering if I should change the H-90 to a P-90. The feedback I get from the H-90 is so annoying sometimes.

Deryck Whibley Squier

I bought this solely for being a Sum 41 fan and I really wanted to know how it sounded. It was less than $300, so I didn't expect it to be good. I don't play it that often. It just doesn't feel like a quality guitar when you hold in your hands (I don't know, maybe other Squiers are like that too). Anyway, this is an old picture. I changed the pickup to the SH-4 and took out the tone knob to resemble Deryck's more. The sound greatly improved, but it still doesn't get played often.

Amp
I use a Fender Frontman 25R. It was the first amp I got when I started playing guitar. I plan on upgrading one day to a Marshall tube amp or something. Until then, this thing gets the job done.

Recording
As for recording equipment, it's nothing special; I plug my guitar into a Line 6 PODxt and use a program called Riffworks (Someone else on this forum used this set up to record a Hell Song cover. I got the idea from them). The end quality is listenable. That's really all I care about at the moment. I'm not officially in a band, so I don't need to spend hundreds and thousands of dollars on quality mics, amps and programs. I just need something good enough to get my ideas down without too much hassle.
