So many beautiful guitars here... :?

I've got a 60s Jazzmaster and several vintage Mustangs but I've yet to find my perfect 60s Jaguar. This thread has inspired me to start looking. :w00t:

You need an SG Junior!

Love the Johnny Smith. Love them all, actually.

Is that a Korg Guitar Synth, below your 175?

i do have a trinity of offsets in my studio, but i'm not there to arrange a shot. in the mean time, enjoy this trio of '70's Fenders (with an 80's hanging out in back) which actually occurred at random while cleaning my studio.


i guess it's actually a Maple Quad! 8)

Ahh sure, because on observing sights like this it's hard to say that life sucks ;D

MIJ, MIA, MII

Just obtained the Squier Jazzmaster... I'd been extraordinarily impressed by the neck of one at a store, and it went on my list. This one doesn't disappoint in that respect... IN WAYS I like it more than the MIJ Jazzmasters. Important ways ;)

I have a strange relationship with my Jaguar; it sounds just freaking perfect most of the time. But since I have such high expectations of it, I nitpick it, in both the visual and auditory senses.

I have another strange relationship with the Mustang... Sounds great, looks great, but Mustangs are always a bit awkward to play for me... Giant cigar in the way, crazy setup, but the trem is marvelous once you've got it in the sweet spot. Also, some of the silkiest rosewood I've experienced...

Yea, you couldn't really ask for a more versatile set of instruments. At least from Fender.
You can cover a hell of a lot of ground with these three guitars.

I had all three at one point. Should have stuck with it, but GAS makes you go on journeys that lead to better things, sometimes lesser things. I just got the JM left now, but hopefully can get the trinity back together again and keep it that way.
Det er mig der holder traeerne sammen.
