Gibson ES 335 .

Aye, I'm stone deaf in one ear, so the fine tuning is a bit lost on me, My mate Marko from above is a big fan of valve amps. I have a Sessionette:75.  Tickles my boxes.

Is that your dream guitar then Stubby? Iv just never been able to feel the love for them- admittedly I have never owned one only fiddled on one here and there- lovely to play as with most Gibson’s but I simply don’t like the look of them (same with rickenbcker). I’m more or a PRS custom 24 (my dream guitar) man, iv always fancied a thinline tele too with P90s- controversial, but that’s me!

Telecaster with a strat neck is something I've fancied for a while.

Has anyone built their own guitars?

I got into Johnny Hiland years ago- he’s up there with the best of them IMO, pretty good considering he’s certified blind.

Yep I " bolt together Strats and Teles coz you can but not set neck jobs . I have a 54 Tele and a 57 Strat that I made from bying selected parts , mostly from the USA . Both one piece swamp ash with north American hard rock maple necks . 50s wiring with paper in oil caps and CTS pots , switch craft jack sockets and selector switch . All finished in nitro cellulose with checking and light ware . Currently working on a 335 and a Les Paul .........

Be even better if I was any kind of a munition ! . Got a Vox AC 30 with Celestion blue backs  ( ridiculously loud ) a very nice Tweed Fender Blues Junior  driving an Eminence " canibis rex " speaker  ( hemp cone ) and one or two other valve amps . Wish I could do them justice .........

Sounds like you have some lovely kit!

i sold off all my ‘nice’ guitars 10 years ago to start my buisness, leaving just my trusty Ibanez RG270 as it was worth far more to me than its monetary value. However last year I bought this little thing as I have a 3 year old now so keeping it quiet in the evenings is the order of the day! Phenomenal sounds can be got out of it. Reverb like you would believe

So what songs do you like to play with that set up?
