A Doom Break: Guitar Players out there? Whatcha play? Got clips?

JCM800 through V30s

Nothing else rings my bell the same way.


Gibson is factory made junk. I make my own guitars.
Search wizardstyx on photobucket for pics.

I play anything. Everything has a style to it it's just a matter of finding out what sounds good on what you're working with. That's real art.

Cool thread OP.

I play a PRS Santana as my main tool
Then I have a 57 Goldtop Epiphone Reissue but its one hell of gitfiddle for the price I paid new. It came with 57 and 57+ Gibson pickups.


Then I have 3 Squier Classic vibe Teles and man let me tell you they are awesome guitars for their price!

One is a vintage blonde tele with maple neck and it is made out of pine like the first esquires

Then one is a thinline tele. Great for funk and blues and obviously nice and light

Then I got a store exclusive Gold Bronze tele with a humbucker in the neck and love the fuck out of it since I got it 6 months ago

Amp wise I don't have nothing special really but I can dial them in to where it feels good to me ahah

One is FSR silver blues junior with a 12 inch celestion 30. Not bad a little amp. Would like to do some Bill M mods to it someday

Then I got one of those chinky little fender champ 600 but it is actually a decent little amp for the price and it looks great. Changed the stock tubes in it and sounds wicked. Would like to mod that too someday to make it sound like a vintage tweed

Then I got a GDEC 30 blues edition. Great practice amp with backing tracks, a looper, two guitar input, easy to edit sounds and actually does a fair job at recreating the classic amps it has. I usually just use that for recording straight into my little zoom r8 recorder and sampler.

as far as pedals go I don't have much but I got all I need haha

BOSS Combo Drive. Fucking great pedal. Recommend it
BOSS RC2 Looper
Mini Tubescreamer
MXR Badass Distortion
and a zoom multi effects unit in a convenient stomp box shape. Recommend this as well because the modulations and reverbs on it are fucking amazing for price. The overdrives and amp sims are kinda meh but hey.

all powered by VOODOO LABS PEDAL POWER

and I got a sweet little gretsch new Yorker mandolin that I can never put down.

I love all music really but my heart is in the blues but I enjoy playing everything, jazz, country,bluegrass,rock and roll, metal, electronica type shit.

A cheapy Epiphone that replaced my cheapy Yamaha and a cheapy fender ampy.

I've also got a nice acoustic which gets the most play atm.

However, I only play other peoples tunes, famous songs, solos. Love solos.

But I only play for fun.

Fun is what its all about bro! Keep it up. Try writing your own material yoo!

Looks wicked man! So cool. I want to play! haha

Im the same way, I'll try any brand. I don't care about the name on the headstock

I knew you guys were out there....Who writes their own material???

Here's some of mine...

I have a Gibson ES 175 thru a Chrome Dome rewire of a Fender Blues Deluxe....

Nice Les Paul.

I play a Martin.

Also have A Taylor for more stage presence.

ESP Viper Baritone
Ibanez RG series
ESP SC8

Line 6 spider 4

Agree-I have a pretty big collection of expensive vintage guitars, but my go to axes are classic vibe teles. I have a butterscotch blackguard converted to a "stealth" esquire with a bakelite esquire guard installed over the neck pickup...it still works and kinda looks cool. These guitars have a lot of resonance acoustically and "spank" even when not plugged in.

Got us a "sludger" in da house, nice!

I only play for fun, but I did treat myself to a BMG Red Special (the 'Super', replica version) earlier this year (nearly 3k GBP, a LOT of money to me, for what is only a secondary 'hobby')
Always loved the look of Brian May's guitar.

Still tend to play my old Strat (Am Std) most of the time though - cost less than a quarter of the BMG, several years ago - solid, reliable and versatile, and I guess I'm just more comfortable with it.

mickey is my fav

My main electric guitar is a Richie Kotzen Telecaster which is just incredible! My main acoustic guitar is a Maton EMC-325 and my main amp is an old tube Peavey Classic 50, which I love to death!

Here's a clip of me playing with two of the greatest guitar players in the world, Robben Ford and Micheal Landau...

OMG that is awesome above!

Maple necked "Johnson" tele copy (really nice guitar) through a black face '65 Vibrolux reverb with matched Groove Tubes.

Awesome thread . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

'65 vibrolux reverb is a great amp....I could play that one all day!

Early 1970's Strat & a 1990's strat, Ibanez Bass, and 70's era Les Paul Copy.

Fender Practice Amp, and other multi-input practice Amp.

Plug-in and gadgets I do sometimes, but find that having a cheap-ass nylon string Guitar laying around that I can pick up any time without plugging in is the best ever.

Lately I do happy, silly songs that I can play in front of any age-group, or family.

My latest tune using Plectrum Style is "Someone to Watch Over Me".

I can play a bad-ass version of "Dancing Cheek to Cheek" as well (Plectrum Style).

I still like the Pick-Style playing for rock tunes.

Coolness...Sometimes having a guitar that's handy and quiet is all you need...Nylon string guitars sound soothing...

Awesome!! They are stellar guitars. They will be collectable as fuck if civilization carries on in the future

Fucking eh! Awesome man!

My favorite guitar is the Taylor Mini. I'm female so the size works better for me. I also have two regular-sized acoustic guitars that I learned on, one is a Seagull. I've never played an electric guitar.

Hey folks, I just bought a pedal called TRIO from digitech, lots of vids on you tube, its the coolest thing i have ever bought guitar wise, and i have played for thirty years, every one should check it out. Save any bullshit about it not working well, i bought it about three days ago and my fingers are fried from jamming, its absolutely amazing. Hot rodded fat strat with a vox amp.

PRS SE Bernie Marsden and a Strat.

Both heavily modified to be the best they can be. Love them both.

Playing through a POD HD500X now I have a kid but also have a Laney Lionheart valve amp and a cheap Fender modelling amp.

Lots of other tear but that's my main setup.

Write and record my own stuff. Also do the occasional gear demo and lessons. Used to teach professionally and been in a few bands.

This are pretty awesome....Glad you dig yours, now I have GAS for one...

Epiphone Dot Studio, DeArmond Jetstar with a Bigsby installed on it, and a few homebuilt guitars and basses.
Also a 1970s Yamaha FG140 dreadnought and a 1970s EKO.

Ampwise I got a 1970s Kustom 150 head plus 4*12, the Creedence Clearwater Revival tuck 'n' roll series; and a Kustom 300 pa head for bass use.
I had a 1970s Fender Bassman 100 which I had to sell unfortunately...

FX... I am not really into those. I have a Bad Monkey overdrive, a CryBaby and a Big Muff.

I am self taught and by no means a technically sound player.

Here is a song I wrote. VST plugin drums, all instruments and vocals by me, recorded on Garageband.

Dig the tune....Laid back and nice harmonies....Drunk again!
