Currently, I have a selfbuilt spare parts Stratocaster wich resembles a 62 model, the only exception is those big ass frets, otherwise a dead on homemade (well screwed together is more like it) 62 reissue

A nice Sonata Jumbo Acoustic with a pre amp and piezo bridge I added later, I have no Ideal who made it or where they were sold, it was a pawn shop special, I love the thing.

A Fender P Bass, I always wanted a bass but I have never really played it or had an amp cause it sounded really crappy in any of my amps, Im talking to Vwall right now about getting a proper bass amp finally.

Various other things laying around, mostly in parts unassembled, a Takamine GX 100 butchered Explorer I intend to work on, a Pheonix guitar body and neck I just snagged off Ebay, a cheesy Harmony I jacked parts off, some pickups, pots, screws, pickguards, and a Mako Traditionals I took apart for a friend and will be my first finishing project, eventually.

I have a wonderful good ol 50's tweed Champ amp, not sure of the year because the label fell off a long time ago and theres no markings that I have found yet to gimme a better indication, I have another really nice Vester Chorus Amp that is really nice but I rarely use it, and I have too many pedals to mention, I love simplicity and the champ is that. I throw a pedal or two on it occasionally, Im hopefully going to finally get a Bass amp from Vwall really soon. Unless you wanna LYAO and hear me play the p bass through the champ amp, its really bad, honestly it is. Thats about it.

Guitars (this week):

ESP M1

Ibanez RG565 (w/holoflash finish)

Ibanez Destroyer (2002 full size reissue)

Ibanez RG620X

Ibanez Jem7VSGR (my take on the new sparkle blue, but in sprakle green - not done yet but in the works)

Jackson Firebird

Lentz Firebird (Scott Lentz is the man)

FX:

Intellifex (w/Motorola chipset)

Had Horsey II

Amp:

Dynamic Sound Research - this was custom made by Jeff Laroque over in Canada, hand-wired - all point to point wiring, no pc boards or ribbon cables, pentode/triode. It's like the guys from Mesa met the Soldano crew in a dark alley and beat Jim Marshall over the head with a 2x4 loaded with rusty nails. There's no clean channel in it *yet* but it's coming. The best part is that it looks like a sleeper - it was built using an old Tryanor PA head. Jeff makes custom cabinets for the heads, but mine was a proto that I bought for a song. Among the few that are on the road, four of them are on tour with Kitty. :D

I'll post pics of this stuff once the Jem and another custom that is being built are finished.

Contact CJ at Eventide, depending on what the problem is, he may be able to help you online, he's a very kewl guy. If it's totally cooked, there is a flat rate fee of $750 to repair an H3000 model, I believe that includes all parts and labor.

Ok, I was just looking around and saw this thread. I don't really have anything interesting enough to post, but I'm actually curious about what all I have and this is a good way for me to see what a list of what i have looks like.

Mutt strat- Bought the alder body at the corner of Haight-Ashbury in Frisco for $20 in '86 (no the guy lived there, it wasn't a guy selling it on the street)

Jap Fender neck put on several years ago. Does that make the guitar a Fender ? Still needs a refret- my main guitar.

'86 Fender Contemporary. Mid-80's Charvel style ( no pickguard- the body is rear-routed and just has a bridge humbucker) All black. Nice guitar , but I don't really use it anymore.

Mid- 80's Chandler strat. rear-routed primer body routed for 2 buckers. Jackson style maple neck with fully scalloped phenolic fret-board. WD trem (individual height adjustment for each string) -*converted to 25" scale length with zero fret at the nut. This is a true "project guitar" (needs tuners and some tweaking and PAINTING !). nice ax, but really don't have a reason to mess with it anymore. I guess the 25" scale makes it sound kind of like a paul reed smith, but then it's scalloped and has a floyd type trem, so I guess it's kind of unique.

Late 80's Kramer 'American' Sustainer guitar , but I bought it in parts form and it doesn't have the sustainer p/u or electronics. Original black floyd that I had bought way back around 1986 and duncan JB. I drilled the neck-holes the way you are supposed to (bought the exact drill bits) and bolted the neck on one time and it's never been taken off since. How often do you see a 13 year old guitar that's NEVER had the neck taken off ? The body was actually made by ESP for Kramer and it's 7/8 size with sharp edges and looks alot like the ESP M1 model or whatever it's called. The little pickup ring mounting holes were never drilled on the body, so it's the only Kramer I know of with 'direct mounted to wood pu's . This is a nice guitar, with one problem that sucks : it had all these extra mini-toggle switches next to the 3 pot holes on the body and no matter how well I plugged them up and tried to hide them, it's impossible.The only way to do it is to totally repaint the guitar ,which I'm not going to do . I'm not into metal anymore and this guitar has too much 'in your face presence' for how I play these days. Probably needs a re-fret. I guess when I get around to doing that, I'll sell it.

Epiphone acoustic that I just found. A project taking up a lot of my extra time lately, since I've got a dead-line to get it done and want to take advantage of the opportunity to make some acoustic repair jigs, etc. I consider this guitar my first real acoustic. The other ones sound too much like toy guitars compared to something like this

Some little red acoustic made in USA that a friend bought at a garage sale for $4.00. 24" scale, so it's a little too grungy for a lot of stuff. Did my only acoustic neck-reset on this guitar. Turned out nice.

Red taiwain acoustic that I found. Just good for hanging on the wall. 15 years ago I would have tried to fix this thing up, but I'm too smart for that now.

Cort Bass that I traded a "heavy metal" belt with a big buckle with a big skull and snake for. I was just looking for a way to get rid of this thing after realizing it was embarrassing as hell to wear it, so I ended up trading it for this bass which had the most twisted neck I've ever seen in my life. I fixed it though, by leveling the fret-board using the neck-jig. Did that about 10 years ago and I don't think it has ever warped anymore. It's my only bass and I will keep it until it gets replaced by at least 2 other basses. It sounds like a $600 bass on recordings, but the body is laminated and the neck is made out of "weird wood".

I have a 68 Fender Bassman head that Dan Torres took the good tone out of after he lied to me, saying he had" this great mod for it, with tone that would sound better than anything". It sounds like **** and I can't stand to use it.

Got a champ type amp I built from scratch. it sounded great until I started doing mods on it. Too busy to get back to it yet. Want to though.

Got an old Fender 2x12 with 2 Vintage 30's in it. They are about 8 years old and since the bassman head has sounded like **** ever since torres did his con-job, they don't hardly ever get used. They got pushed hard for a few hours when I still had my marshall rig way back. I guess they're not really even broken-in yet.

MXR Phase 90

mid-80's Korg distortion that I don't use

Home-made Tube-screamer that doesn't work now and I'm not in a hurry to fix it because it made my guitar sound like that one Creed song - the one where he sings something like " my sacrifice" or something like that. Yeah, I was impressed that I built something from scratch that sounded like that, but that's not my sound , especially these days.

Well , hell , this turned out to be a crappy looking list, but thank god I didn't list all my guitar repair tools or is there another thread about that ?

Kirk-itis is still in full effect I see.

Actually, I've had 99% of this stuff for some time now. I sold off a bunch of RGs because I have found that playing a guitar with a larger neck doesn't fatigue my left hand as much. I thought it would have been the other way around.

I found a treatment for "Kirk-itis." Buy crap that noone else would buy. Then I can't sell it. :D

I know you had that stuff for a while. I was supposed to get first dibs on that 565 when you got tired of it :D

Little secret - If you have large hands a larger neck allows your hand to remain in a more natural position than a smaller neck preventing fatigue. Referring to small necks as "fast" has always been, in my experience, a misnomer. I can play faster on my Epiphone than any of my RGs
