Thanks! It wasn't too expensive, either; those oak boards from the local hardware store were around $40 total I think. Finished with Minwax stain + poly in one $6 can. The studs are weirdly spaced, so adding the boards was pretty much necessary.
I actually wish the room were a little bigger, but it serves its purpose nicely. I hope to make it into more of a home studio eventually. Planning to build sound deadening plugs for the windows (since they don't let much light in anyway), get some acoustic tiles for the walls, and possibly do the same for the ceiling. It is realllly live in there; all sound echoes like crazy and amps at volume make the walls shake. No big deal for recording guitars, but it is a problem for mixing of course.

Was browsing one of the local shops, not even looking for a new guitar, but they offered me this for a really good price, so I kind of had to buy it.
It's supposed to have gold top hat knobs, not amber speed knobs. Apparently a customer was buying a different LP but wanted those knobs, so they got swapped over. Doesn't phase me, as I'll swap them and the hearing-aid beige plastics for black parts ASAP.

That's really nice. I have a studio gem which is pretty much the same guitar as that, but from 1996 or something. The P90s are immense.atmo wrote:Accidental NGD...

My introduction here everyone I'm a newbie on this particular forum. I'll start with a few pics for now they are crappy pics I know, I'll take some real pictures soon. Like I said I just wanted to quickly introduce myself. This is my rescue dog my MIM Fender Strat. All your typical mods: locking tuners, SD pickups, tele knobs etc. I love it! I have a few last ideas for it in the near future. The full view pic is older than the other pics with the SD lil 59 in the neck, just posted so you can get an idea.
^ Thank you Sir! If it were American or Custom Shop I may or may not mod them either but the MIM stuff is perfect for modding to me. Everything bolts right up, no problems. Locking tuners required no drilling since they weren't the vintage style etc. The pickups fit with out filing etc. Pickguard choices galore! Im going to get a new middle position pickup soon and new saddles as well then it will be complete \m/ 
^ This is my Taylor 214ce it has a bone nut and saddle and fret crown & level. I have other guitars I can also post.

Hahaha, nice Gretsches, what's the colour of the one on left? It's looks pretty.
My guitars photobomb (sorry).
50th Anniversary Danelectro. The gold hardware is rubbing off, but gold hardware doesn't fit a cheap guitar. This is my main player, I first hated the super flat neck but now it's comfortable to play.
Plywood El Degas LP copy. It's a lawsuit copy, and it's been abused pretty bad (I threw it in the air at a backyard show, and didn't catch it), I bought it with a broken jack input, tons of dings, and a half finished paint job. I took off paint, spray painted it yellow, and then got high and drew on it. I want to turn it into a black beauty, or just throw a super distortion in the bridge wired straight to the jack and have a thrasher.
1963 Harmony Hollywood. I am never going to sell this guitar. Bought it from a old lady in a yard sale. I couldn't try the electronics at the time, she didn't own an amp, but it was worth the gamble. Still smells like old people. the pickup is microphonic, so it picks up everything and makes it suck to play live but it's great as an acoustic and for the quiet times. I learned a lot about guitar care buying this, really want to keep this playable when I'm 50. Also has the thickest neck in the world.
Probably the largest post I've made yet.

Man those 50th Anniversary Danos are pretty, and pretty hard to find...Heard form my dealer friend here in Seoul that none basically made it over here when they came out.
And I'd love to thumb out some Wes Montgomery with that Harmony, that chunky neck looks like so much fun to grab.

If you look up close under natural lighting, the G6196TSP-2G is technically light gray with metallic lavender trim, but it can go from looking like it's Sonic Blue + Purple, all the way to White + LPB, depending on lighting. It's such a good playing/sounding guitar, that even the Sychrosonic/Melita bridge is behaving itself without a buzz now that I've got on a medium set of Pure Nickel wounds. Honestly, the G6122-1962 and old G6128 are getting very jealous of my attention...but I can honestly say that it's one of those once-a-decade things I've been through where I truly "found the one".WayToHip wrote:Hahaha, nice Gretsches, what's the colour of the one on left?
