Thank you my friend. I’m working really hard here. Sometimes I feel like RU-vid hates me. 😂

Great walkthrough! Love the shout out to your Dad, rest his soul. Guitars are tools for me, so I'm looking for instruments that play a specific sonic role with as little overlap as possible. The brand is never as important as whether it fits the archetype I need. Standard Single Coils (telecaster), rootsy Lo-Gain Single Coils (Mustang), Humbuckers (PRS), Bigsby (WildKat), P-90's (Wildkat), Roundhole acoustic (Taylor), F-hole electric (epiphone emperor regent), F-hole Acoustic (Epiphone Masterbilt Deluxe), Nylon string (Gianinni), etc. I've got them all covered at this point, so not jonesing for anything new. Same goes for basses. A Jazz is the only thing that sounds like a Jazz to me. Fretless Precision. Hofner style kit bass that does that chore, which I play to death. Double bass. Modern active 5 (Ibanez SR505) Humbuckers (epiphone '58 korina explorer reissue with Thunderbird Pro pickups) Whether they were expensive or cheap, I bought them each to fill a sonic role rather than a cosmetic role, and only kept them if they did those well. Some would be shocked at every Gibson I sold because something else did the intended job better. I don't play them all constantly but I rotate them constantly. I never understood Yngvie with the 100 identical strats. But you can't make a dual humber do what a telecaster does. And vice versa. If you're a guy who plays all those roles either live or in the studio, That's why you need multiple guitars

@LonelyRocker 25 дней назад

I like your philosophy. But wether there are 100 different ones or 100 identical ones we all seem cooky. From the outside it just seems like some kind of repetitive behaviour. But us players understand nuance is everything. And that nuance is what keeps us hunting and searching :)

I have around 30 guitars at this time but I do my best to give them all some play time. Some of them are similar but that gives me a good opportunity to try different pickups and sometimes tunings. It's also to show various music styles and tones through the gear that I'm reviewing on the channel. Is it necessary? No, but I love it! Haha You have a cool collection man, all the guitars are very different!

@LonelyRocker 24 дня назад

You need at least that many to service that monster amp collection!!! :-) If there's anyone I know that uses his collection, it's you :)

You can always redo the neck on your guitars. Tape the guitar off at the top of the neck and bottom and start sanding the neck down with sandpaper in your hands until you get to the shape you want the guitar. Your hand will do it to where it feels good. Then start fine sanding it down and wax the neck. It will also feel better and you can make them look very professionally done in about an hour.

@LonelyRocker 25 дней назад

I've thought about giving that a try....I have nothing to lose at this point....we'll see!

Ive been playing 39 years now. I own 6 guitars at this time and 1 Bass. On the average to play rock, metal and blues, I can do that on 3 guitars. EP Les Paul Custom - HH, Jackson DK3M - HSS, Kramer Striker Custom - HSS. I own 2 amps and TONEX with about 50 pedals I own and barely use but 20 of them. I can play 99% of everything out there with this. I run my TONEX as its the amp in a pedal chain to the effects loop of my Marshall DSL100HR amp and to the 2X12 Cab with a V30 and Creamback H in it. I can find nearly every tone I need to cover anyone from Def Leppard, Journey, Queensryche to others like Alice in Chains, Dokken, Ozzy, or StainD and countless other bands. A lot of people also don't little tricks like using a preamp in your effect loop that can really bring out your amps beauty in tone. But believe it or not. I put my Kramer Striker as my number 1 guitar after I upgraded it. It still has its original pickups that somehow blows away my more expensive guitars that go from rock n roll, metal, to beautiful blues! HSS guitars to me have always been more versitle in what they can do.

Sounds like you've got a great setup there....

@user-lj2bn8xt9e 25 дней назад

My #1 is my Evh Wolfgang Special in stealth black. It’s super versatile, reliable, and super stable with the d tuna🤘🏾

@LonelyRocker 25 дней назад

Sweet!!! Nice guitar...I'd like to give that one a spin!

@progpogs 23 дня назад

Suhr Modern Satin Flame from 2020, was my only guitar for almost 4 years, and still my main. I will have it forever.

@LonelyRocker 23 дня назад

Beautiful! Can’t beat a Suhr!

@brianmathiason29 25 дней назад

My number one guitar is an Ibanez S640 that my wife surprised me with for Christmas a few years back. It just fits me like no other guitar I own. I upgraded the pickups to Dimarzio’s. I own a few other guitars along with 3 basses.

@LonelyRocker 25 дней назад

Sweet. I like the story. A number one always needs a good story. Cheers!

@wilkinsonmd1959 25 дней назад

I am working in studio most of the time. My collection is practical 1. Strat: a Strat ultra luxe 2. Tele: love the Jason Isbel signature 3. Les Paul: the epiphone 1959 is pretty amazing if you don’t have to play it in public :) 4. 335: the most versatile 5. P90 guitar: still contemplating that. Les Paul Junior? 6. Music Man Ernie Ball bass 7. Taylor 524 ce acoustic . Nice compression for recording 8. Taylor 724 koa- a bit brighter and works for n combination with others well. This is for recording purposes and versatility

@LonelyRocker 25 дней назад

Sweet! thanks for sharing. You certainly got the full range covered there!

@rickystokes891 16 дней назад

Number 1 a 96 Gibson explorer blame it ON KISS. Saw Paul and Ace playing them had to get one it took a while but at Christmas last year I finally got it

@LonelyRocker 16 дней назад

Sweeeeeeet!!!!! Sounds like a keeper!!!

@guitarzen5999 25 дней назад

I have the same Phoenix (Korean made). I fell in love with the guitar at NAMM 2020 and ended up ordering one, great guitar. My number one though is a Fender Esquire w/a Seymour Duncan Lil 59 humbucker. I play a lot of country rock and this guitar works great for that.

@LonelyRocker 25 дней назад

Nice! It's a really useful guitar. Nice number one...sounds sweet!
