1980s era Ibanez Musician fretless bass (made some what famous by Sting). Early 1990s era Ibanez SG fretted bass.... working guitars from that era and survivors of all the sunset strip clubs I.E. Gazzarri's, Rainbow, Whiskey but mostly dives in Pomona, Diamond bar and Pasadena!... LOL!

before switching to a Rickenbacker 4001).

I had a 4001 I traded for a Guild D50 which I sold. Wish I had never sold or traded any of my guitars. The Ricky was perfect.

Guild Starfire III blonde. My all time favourite acoustic is Taylor by far. You must listen to Doyle Dykes on YT to appreciate Taylor acoustics or Guild Starfires

That bass looks battle worn - bitchen!

Yeah, it sure got some stage time. Lol. Dad just told me it was already worn when he got it in the mid 1980’s. A band member installed the EMG pick ups in mid/late 1990’s. I can’t play any guitar worth a damn, but I love music, the instruments, and the backstories.

I love Rics, mainly due to Cliff Burton playing one. Not to mention the look of them and the sound. Dad still has his.

like a lot of things, the thrill of what’s next keeps you buying, selling, and horse trading!

When you think about it guitars are a lot like boats. Every one of them has been my sweetheart.

So many awesome posts. I Liked the SG and the gramps 1949 Martin. The Martin has had some work done to it which it should.
I see a few have their gear hooked up, Lets hear a few licks. Be proud...

Enough to make a little noise.

my old ibanez rg570 i used to have.

The only ones really worth mentioning. The Gretsch is a 6120- 59, it's a micrometer accurate reproduction of Chet's 1959 6120 that's in the Country Music Hall of Fame.

The Fender is a 1956 Dou Sonic, that came from my Grandfather, never play it just a collectible.

The Takamine EC132C is really all I've played for the past 25 year or so. Switch mostly to nylon when Chet Introduced Jerry Reed about 50 years ago.

 

[QC22]

That Gretsch is awesome!

 

[cofooter]

That Gretsch is awesome!

That fender is really cool, too!

L to R: 2017 Fender T-Bucket, 1981 Hamer Special, and 1964 Silvertone 1413L.

Also below is the original Sears catalog ad for the Silvertone. It was my first guitar and I bought that in 1980-ish for about $10 and considered smashing for kicks a couple of times early on. Fortunately I never got around to smashing it and just stuck it in my parent basement and forgot about it for about 35 years until I re-discovered it last year (remember all those toys you destroyed when you were a kid and wish you still had now...?). Definitely not the awesome 1949 Martin above, but still a pretty cool slice of Americana!

That's really cool, my first electric, was a 64 airline which was Wards, it's the same guitar with a little different body and it was black. I lost track of it.

 

[FreeBird236]

That fender is really cool, too!

I'm afraid I devalued it. In my younger years I contoured the body and put on a Strat bridge with the strings coming in from behind. I still have the original parts but I think it's too late.

You might be surprised.
So Many guys build and refurbish gitfiddles these days. Hold on to the parts.

Oh I will. Wouldn't sell it anyways, I'm sure someone will inherit it.

No guitar but I like to mess around with these and I’m teaching the little one.
