I was known as 'Harmonyman' in the old forum because when I signed up, the only guitars I had were my two Harmonys. I then bought an Ibanez Jet King II. Here are my two Harmonys flanking my Jet King:  After the forum closed down, I bought my first Epiphone, a MIK ES-335 Dot:  I then bought my first Les Paul, a MIK Epi Les Paul Custom:  My latest purchase was my first Telecaster, a Tradition CAB10T model. I posted a picture in another thread, but here is a close-up of the body in better lighting:  |

Nice collection G Man.
Loving the colour of the tele - really nice ;D
I hanker after a sunburst tele but with a maple fingerboard - possibly a thinline

Thank you guys! After I bought my first electric (the strat copy), I always wondered what other types of guitars would sound like. I decided that if I bought any other guitars, they would all be different from each other. I started with the Ibanez and it's coil splitting capabilities, and GAS took off from there! Now I have one of each of the guitars that I like, so if and when I buy another guitar, I don't know what it will be  . Hey Happy Jack, maybe a thinline also, those are nice, or maybe a full hollowbody! The bursts are nice, and as you can see, they look different in different lighting. |

nice collection, I love the les paul! Thanks! It's in great condition and looks brand new, but it's a 1995 model made in the Unsung Korea plant. I got a great deal on it through Craigslist! |

Really nice guitars. I like the idea of a different guitar for each sound you want. Must try that argument on Mrs Blues. Although she is likely to come back with the quote about the guy who must be a great guitarist as he only has 1 guitar. But still worth a try I think. ;D

I'm sure Mrs Blues wouldn't want to think of me as repressed in any way. So i'll be able to use your argument Mojo, hopefully in the near future. |

Based on your Fender Tele, your Hohner, and your Jedson I've seen here, it seems you're well on your way to having a very diverse collection, Les! All you need now is a Strat to complete the 'four basic guitar groups'! Tell Mrs. Blues it's just like the 'four basic food groups', all guitarists need them! |

I've been telling him that for years - but does he listen ;D ;D ;D Ok! So what makes a Strat so special? When I was looking for my first electric I naturally tried a strat but It definitely sounded too bright, almost "girly" compared to the growl you can get from a good Les Paul type guitar. Or even a "Hill Billy" 335 style guitar. Now I know this could be construed as a controversial post, but what the hell. I'm prepared to listen to reasonable arguments as to why a Strat is an essential part of any guitar collection. Apart from their iconic status and pretty looks. On the sound front isn't a Telecaster close enough to that bright tone (Obviously without being girly at all)? So let's hear it for the Strat. Try to convince a die hard Les Paul/335 player why he should go through the emotional turmoil of persuading Mrs Blues he should buy another guitar, for a Strat. ;D |

Telecasters twang - Strats quack. You should by a strat just for the sound on position 4 (which mine stays in nearly all the time) or position 2. Teles have got a bit of a quack but it is more of a cluck than a quack and you don't want cluck when you can have quack or twang. It is quite simple really Turn the tone knob down if it is to bright  ;D ;D You just scared of Lady Anne! I will phone her later and use Happy Jacks charm and powers of persuasion ;D Two other reasons - Jimi and Stevie |
