oooooh, that yasuma is really nice. is it a 000 or 00 copy? crazy color, and odd pickguard. how do you like it?

i was just wondering yesterday if there were any 000 copies, specifically mahogany.

and that bound neck would appear to be titties.

I don't actually know much about the Yasuma to be honest. There's review of other models on HC etc. but this is about the only info I've found about this one:



It's not exactly the same as mine though, the bridge is different, there's no neck binding and the truss rod on mine isn't adjustable from the head stock.

These days it's not that great to play, as the body has bowed a bit over time, so it either needs to have the bridge shaved down or the neck reset (probably the latter). It does have a nice deep sound to it though.

Here my redone Gordon Smith Gypsy2 from the 80ies..it had a Kahler trem, which was removed and filled, then a Schaller Badass installed. Honduran mahagony, fretboard looks like brazilian rosewood..



the other one is a Special DC built from a kit ( PGK, Canada)

Got the Tele in yesterday and really like it a lot. It's a '69 RI Thinline. Might eventually replace the pick guard with a black one.




With its friend, Bullety:

Lyon by washburn acoustic, Gibson LP special, Fretking Esprit 5, Gordon Smith GS1, Stagg Uke and Squier Musicmaster bass.

One day I will get around to reassembling my bass and hopefully swap it with one of you wonderful people for a squier tele.

Edit- jamba love your gypsy, I didn't even know about Gordon Smith until I picked up my GS1, now I am a total fanboy, nice guitar you got there.

Fender Sonoran, Epiphone Korina Expolrer (set neck and bloody awesome, Gibson SG limited ed and Japanese Jazzmaster. I forgot the little strat.

DO want ur SG....

Me too. That's a gorgeous colour. Does it have a more specific name?

WOW nice SG is NICE.

The colour is 'Teal'.

Cos it's Gibson it has a stupid name: Teal "flip-flop". Very close to OTM, it's a really good finnish. It looks bluish/green depending on the viewing angle. I don't play I much so it might go out for trade for a Jazzie or something.

My axes... AVRI 70s Strat, SG Special, Tele CV50s, Epi PR100/VS acoustic.
Hopefully family will get some offset member soon.

MAPLE!

damn, that looks so much better with a black guard.

is that what you're wanting the 3 saddle bridge for?

I think w/ the maple it's better with the black guard fo' sho. rosewood, I like the tort better.


and yeah, I want a three saddle, but I'm not 100% sure the vintage style bridges will fit a modern string through design. I'm pretty sure they will and the people who have issues with it just don't understand how stinking things in a hole works

Cool gear. Our bassist would probably be really eager to swap his 50's CV Squier Tele for the reassembled Pink Musicmaster Bass. PM me if you'd be up for that, so we're not clogging up the gear topic.

Cheap guitar day. Samick Greg Bennett Avion AV1. Peavey Raptor Plus EXP.

My collection is in a bit of a transition (moving towards offsets), but here's my tele:

is that a squier?

partly. It's a 70's Ibanez body with a Squier strat neck. Jazzmaster neck pickup, teisco bridge pickup. And split shaft style tuners because I'm too incompetent for anything else.
