stackem30 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 I don't know nearly as much about guitars and tech as most of the people posting here, but here's my rig — 2012 Gibson SG “HH” Special. I added the tremelo bar and made a few small cosmetic changes over the years (pick guard, toggle switch, bridge, and knobs). I run it through a Vox VT40+ amplifier with plenty of reverb, and have myself a good 'ole time, despite my limited skills. I've been (slowlyyy) learning guitar on my own for the last 6 years, so it's nothing too fancy. But man, I am quite fond how it looks... I like psychedelic music, shoegaze, post-punk, etc. and this guitar felt like a good match. And I just love that dark cherry stain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stackem30 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Ha! I paid for someone at a local shop to install that bar. Thanks for the nice words. Like many of the goalies here, my gear is nicer than my game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raucebyalien Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Oddly enough my guitar playing is directly tied to hockey - as an 18 year in '98 old too old for the junior leagues, I'd planned to take the paycheque from my shitty summer job to get some new gear and try and make a mens team. Getting into the city I went to the hockey shop, had a mental reality check that I was most likely done and didn't really have the passion anymore and went next-door to spend my paycheque in the guitar shop instead! (£100 Squier Tele..didn't play hockey again till 2010) I don't have pics to hand, but the current stable is: - Japanese Fender Jazzmaster; first 'good' guitar, one of the previous owners attempted a relic job to pass it off as an old one so it has a unique look to it. changed the pickups to '65 reissues last year so its sounds more like an actual jazzmaster - Reverend Club King 290; picked it up for >£300 which is an absolute steal given its quality and versatility -reissue Fender Starcaster; great guitar to play, but unfortunately the electronics are garbage and the pickups don't have the characteristics of the originals, so an overhaul is my next project -Roland Cube 40; bought on a whim, but by far the best small amp I've ever played - use it mainly on twin reverb settings and its pretty authentic sounding, looper is also cool -HH VS Musician; 100w solid state amp w/1x15" cab. had a combo VS musician in the rehearsal room we used to use and loved it, not very practical for home though! Gone but not forgotten: -Squier Vista Jagmaster; bought for my 21st birthday, but didn't use it much as my hands are too big for short scale guitars so sold it a couple of years ago when a guy was looking for one on a facebook selling group. -1976 Fender Pro Reverb; another hockey link - bought this in london when the NHL had its 2007 premier. sounded absolutely beautiful and I still regret selling it, but it was just not practical to have in a house when you're not in a band. Had a bunch of other stuff too, but these are the most memorable / notable bits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as you have either the gear or the play right- nothing is worse than being a hack AND having crap gear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
