First 5 guitars

[JP Universe]

Peavey Raptor (Pretty rubbish guitar, got a LOT of play on it)

PRS CE24 (parents present to me for moving away and 1 of the best days of my life

Washburn WG580 (Really wanted an RG type guitar for cheap, this one had coil splitting

Jackson Stars Dinky (Amazing price on Ebay OZ so bought it .... excellent guitar, still own it)

Ibanez RG 7620 mod (Time to be with my fave brand of guitar)

 

[BucketheadRules]

Dean Baby ML (still have, great guitar)

Swift Jackson RR copy (fucking shit, sold when I got the Ibanez)

Ibanez RG350EX (awesome, still got it and still use it loads)

Vintage V100 (14th birthday present, awesome guitar but I'm going to sell it and get a Burny RLC-70S instead)

PRS SE Soapbar (fantastic guitar but I sold it last year, needed money to buy my V)

 

[Lankles]

Torch Vintage Series - Dreadful strat copy. Saw it in the trading post a few times since. Scary.

Ibanez RG170 - Eventually dismantled itself after I sold it to a friend.

Fender MIM Fat Strat - Sold to another friend, both now unknown whereabouts.

Schecter 007 Blackjack - Still have, playing doom metal on it.

Schecter Jeff Loomis C-7FR - Still have, struggling to learn Nevermore songs on it. Intermittently used for terrible unfunny parody power metal.

 

[Variant]

Synsonics Terminator (dogshit, short-scale catalog gutiar)

Jackson Dinky Reverse (pre-Fender, put a Jeff beck set in it)

Ibanez Jem 777SK (traded it outright for a brand new RG760BK)

Ibanez RG550RFR (traded it for something like $200 credit on a new guitar like an idiot)

Ibanez RG7620BK (stolen with four other guitars I had at the time)

 

[BigK]

Squire Stagemaster - actually had a really nice neck on it, just that everything else was shite.

Schecter 006 elite - I still have it and its one of the best bang for buck guitars ever

ESP SC-600 - I've still got this one absolutely wonderful guitar pretty unique in spec too.

Ibanez RG550 - nice guitar, Just made me realise I hate Floyd's

Maverick Species 1 - Awesome RG style guitar with a set thru neck and recessed tune-o-matic bridge and I've still got it.

 

[Rook]

Yamaha Pacifica - I didn't realise how good a choice this was at the time, I just didn't want a Fender haha

Jackson Kelly KE3 - Come on, just look at it! How cool is that for a 14 year old

Jackson SLSMG - Still one of the best guitars I ever bought, unfortunately it has no paint, hardware or electronics at the moment....

Dean Razorback - Don't even bother asking

ESP Eclipse II - Great LP style guitar I bought when I was 17, I was a LOG fan at the time, the rest you can guess haha. I only sold it cos I hardly ever used it once I got my next guitar(s).

(then Jackson RR1, ESP Horizon NT, Ibanez JEM77FP, Music Man JP6, Ibanez UV7BK, Ibanez RG560, Fender USA '57 Reissue Strat)

Whatever next?

 

[Curt]

1) Washburn Acoustic(lost in house fire)

2)Cheap HSS strat copy, don't even remember the brand(given to a friend who wanted to start playing)

3)2001 Squier Strat that I eventually modded with an EMG 81/60 set that I had got from the EMG Jim Root giveaway(2nd prize) lost this in a house fire, it was really nice for a squier. ):

4)1984 MIJ Fender E Series strat with Hotrails bridge and duncan SSL-5 middle and neck) GREAT guitar, still have

5) 1990 Ibanez EX360. Pretty nice guitar, could be great with a pickup swap. Uncle gave me this about 2 months ago.

I have always been more focused on amps than guitars.(see amp history thread) But I do really want something that isn't a strat/superstrat. But I'd rather get my built up before I focus on having tons of guitars...

 

[McBrain]

Fender US Stratocaster (Bought it new in '97 - Sold it way too cheap)

Schecter C1+ (Put a JB/Jazz set in. Played great, but for some reason I sold it)

Carvin DC127 (Had trouble with the truss-rod and only worked with .09's, so I sold it really cheap)

Ibanez RGA121 (Came to the conclusion that 25.5" was not for me and sold it)

Caparison Horus (Keeper!)

[synrgy]

1. Synsonics (Sears brand) black strat-ish style with a built in 9 volt powered speaker. Was given to me by a friend, and I gave it to another friend later.

2. Airline - I *think* it was a 1959 model. I should have kept it, but a good friend's younger brother was getting into LOTS of trouble and he expressed interest in guitar so I gave it to him in hopes that it would give him the same life-long distraction it gave me. Looked like this:

3. Hamer Studio Custom - My friends named this one Excalibur when I got it in 1995 at the age of 15. It remained my go-to until I temporarily retired it a few years ago.

4. Ibanez JS-(I don't know which version) -- Funnily enough, this one had been owned by the semi-legendary swirler Herc Fede, from whom I purchased it on Ebay when I was about 17, to serve as my first 'backup' guitar. It was totally stock, so far as I know. I just never really bonded with it, and after about 3-4 years I sold it to someone else. When I had it, my friends named it 'Big Sexy'. (Wrestling fans close to my age ought to recognize the reference.)

(pic is not of mine; just one I found that looks like it..)

5. Jackson Rhodes-EX -- there was actually a thread about this one when I stripped all the paint off and tung oiled it as my first major DIY project. Anyway, bought it on Ebay in roughly 1998, and still own it, though it basically just sits in its case. I never bonded with it, either.

Before:

After:

There were a couple more 6's, and then began the 7's...

 

[MesaENGR412]

1) '96 Cort Strat Copy - still have it, probably never sell (first guitar sentiment thing)
2) '98 Fender Deluxe Super Stratocaster - Crimson Red Transparent/Rosewood board/7 pickup combinations- traded later for an '00 MIJ Ibanez RG520QS w/EMG 81/89
3) '00 MIJ Ibanez RG470-now modded w/ EMG 81's, filled in single coil p/u spot/still have it
4) '05 Edwards EX105 E Explorer - Decent guitar, enjoyed playing it, but there was a strange mid-hump sound to it, even with EMG's, and it was hard to get the low end to sound tight- sold it a couple years ago
5) '05 Washburn D30S Acoustic - got it for college, great acoustic, sold to fund other gear, didn't play acoustic much
