I’m sharing a red paragon acoustic cheapie with my ten year old. She writes her own songs. From amazon ... it’s a Mann’s music brand

She plays it all the time, I rarely get time if ever so I’m not a traitor to the Light .... and then it’s blues so it actually ironic

Machine heads came for my Tele. This used to be a vanilla bottom-of-the-specs Korean Squier I bought in about 87:

My brother who gave me the green DiMarzio stacked humbucker several years ago (he got it in the 80s, it's older than the guitar) suggested I take the cover off. It was a mission, but:

I just finished the rebuild of this for our guitarist, it started life as an encore which was signed by everyone in the pub on his birthday, just had a coat of lacquer on the body and a new scratchplate and pickup, volume only as requested.

I bought this cute little Ozark tenor guitar yesterday as I get confused when playing anything with more than four strings. I've got it tuned to Chicago tuning (D-G-B-E like a regular guitar with the E & A missing)

I've also got a ukulele!!!

I've always owned an acoustic guitar that I've used for writing purposes although I never put much effort into being a guitarist. A few years ago a only band I ever played electric guitar in (C1990) was revived and I needed a suitable instrument, I cashed in some Argos vouchers and got a Squier tele. I changed the scratchplate to black when Rick Parfitt died (we shared the same birthday) I found I actually enjoyed playing it and after the other "serious" guitarist quit last year I ended up as sole guitarist in the band and haven't felt the need to upgrade.


If you think I look weird you should see the rest of the band.

Weird wasn't the adjective that sprung to mind.

I did the same back in 2015 but took it back.  It didn't sound like a tele to me and there was something up with the neck which meant I couldn't get it set up how I wanted.  Great yours worked out though.

I'm quite partial to a Strat.

Out of the box the set up was tolerable but no problem to make any adjustments required. Now It feels just right.
The original pickups sounded great but I was using a lot of overdrive. I changed them for cheap rail style pickups to fatten the sound a bit and may get a more expensive set at some point. The sound is a bit "one dimensional" but then so is my playing. I have been experimenting with an AXL player delux strat, a cheap strat copy but nicely made.
