There are some nice guitars in here!

This is my first post here. I have been lurking around and reading about the HT Stage 60 I picked up recently.
This is my number 1, PRS SAS


My Carvin AE185, awesome swiss army knife of a guitar!


This was handmade from a builder in SanAntonio that used to work for Jackson. Nice fat unfinished neck, EVH pickup, original floyd, and gotoh tuners. Sounds amazing through my HT Stage 60!


This one is a parts build from Brian Mason of Mason guitars. I won this on the HCEG forum at a time when I wanted a strat in my life in a big way. Wilkinson bridge with hollow saddles BG V60 pickups, Warmoth ash body, and Warmoth maple ebony neck with clay dots.


There have been many over the last few years. These are the ones that have become indispensable.

Nice stable...are those mini-hummers in the PRS?

Thank you and yes. They are called narrowfield pickups. Same wire and magnet as the 57/08s, but because they are narrower and deeper they have their own unique vibe. They sound like singlecoils when the volume is below 6 and like humbuckers from 6-10.

My three babies...

The black Strat has been modified to be like David Gilmour's black Strat.

My Ibanez Artcore AF 75..........

Here's what it looked like originally..........


But I hate chrome and black plastic, and the ACH pickups just were to muddy.......here's what it looks like now....







I play it a good bit thru a Blackstar ID Core 40 behind a Presonus Tubepre V2. For the modifications here's the diary of what and how it was done..........

there you go

Hi
Mine are not anywhere near as expensive or exclusive as a lot posted here but here's what I have so far and they work for me






epiphone les Paul special ltd edition I be a 94 and 400 made
It's sounds nice and feels great to play and has sentimental value.





Ibanez rg1570-mb prestige team j craft
Fitted with dimarzio's d activator and air norton with std ibanez s in the middle
Plays fantastic and meets all my heavy metal needs


Ibanez gxa 75
Drop tuner on e string
Plays ok but looks good and plays metal well and loves the low stuff

Sorry for so many pictures. These are some of my axes!

OK, here's a few photos of my current (and some past) gear:



The JDR-94 is now long gone, but the Gibson Les Paul Studio and MIM Sambora Strat are still with me/



My 60th Anniversary Strat, MIM and it is fantastic.

I've had a fair few guitars pass through my hands over the years (another MIM Sambora, an MIA Deluxe Stratocaster, Gibson Les Paul Standard, Taylor 810ce and others) and a few amps as well (various Marshall and now an Engl Thunder 50 head and cab). I do crave a budget bass setup so I can start recording some stuff at home.

I picked up this beauty last week
