What guitar do you own and why?

[Northernsoul55]

Hi Everone,

My first post here

Ive recently bought another guitar, a lovely Epiphone EJ-200 Acoustic Sunburst. (see pic)




Why: I could not have justified paying £2500 for a real Gibson J200: (I want one)

I have lots of guitars. Two Pedal Steel Guitars, three electrics, several Accoustics including a Grammer and a Takamine and two basses - a 4 stiring and a 5 string.

The lead guitar player in our band is a collector. He has about 30 guitars, mostly US made Fender's. He has about 20 vintage Fender tube amps, too.

I can ship you mine if you want to borrow it.

I've always told my sons that I can play my air guitar much better than they can play their real guitars!

This isn't mine (don't have a pic handy), but it's the same thing, but it's Dark Trans-Red.

Looks almost black unless it's in light.

90's Jackson Performer. Only reason I have it is because I was helping someone with financial issues and bought it from him. Only reason I STILL have it is because I can't justify (or afford atm) the one that I want. A Gibson (not Epiphone) Les Paul
I've had plenty of guitars.

Kramer Baretta
2 Fenders

2 Generic Branded
Peavey

The next one I get would probably be an electric acoustic. After that, I would start thinking about a Charvel San Dimas in natural wood color.

I own a Martin D-15 all-mahogany dreadnought and some old-growth plywood thing. The Martin is the one I play.

I looked up that Martin.
Does it play nice? It looks classic, love it.

I love the thing. The action is a little higher than I like, but I'm too lazy to lower the saddle. Martin has superseded the D-15 with the D15M. All-mahogany, bone saddle, nice rosette, etc. Mine does have the "chest rumble" I like to hear and feel in dropped-D tuning. I've played D-35's I didn't like as much. Mine's a keeper.

Excellent. Liking what you play is the best part.

The Fender Dreadnought was a replacement for another acoustic that was stolen. That turned out to be a win.

The Les Paul Gibson Epihone was the first guitar I bought with my first pay check.

And the Fender Telecaster is my most recent and favourite. I've always wanted one.
