So back to acoustics, here is my Ibanez. I’ve had a few acoustics over the years but have really come to love these Ibanez acoustics. Here is my 6 string acoustic.

I’ll squeeze in a couple of my amps too. I have four, one of which is a shitty Line 6 that got me back in the game after not playing for several years so I’m not gonna post it.
My absolute favorite of them is my Marshall JVM 210H with a 1960A cab. My local shop had it since it was new for several years. I watched the price slowly drop over time but the clincher for me was after the shop changed hands I walked in one day and it was marked $1k for the head and cab. I jumped on it immediately. The other is a Marshall DSL5 that I used to use all the time. Since the JVM came home I only use it as a travel amp since I can attenuate the JVM down to an “acceptable” level and still retain a good tone. Last is my Twin Reverb reissue. I’ve had it for several years but man it is just so damn loud! I’ll run some pedals through it usually so I can get what I’m looking for but for a crystal clear sound without distortion you just can’t beat it I don’t think. And that’s it for amps! I have some pedals but I don’t really use them much besides with the twin reverb. I’ll get back to guitars tomorrow. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

This is my 2016 Les Paul 50’s tribute gold top. It’s hard for me to get a good photo of the finish but the gold top is one of my favorite finishes. Some day I’ll get a gold top standard but for now this Studio tribute will do.
The first photo is the more representative of how the finish looks but it’s still not a good photo of it. ![]() ![]() |

My Ibanez S series in quilted maple Dragon Eye burst. Such a light and thin guitar. Sounds great, plays great, and just looks fucking amazing... Simply a wonderful guitar.
Again, as the gold top was, it’s hard to get a good picture of the finish. In bright light it pops but in low light it’s way more subtle and dark. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Here’s my BC Rich Mockingbird ST. Quilted Maple top in trans-black finish. Not a bunch of photos of it because it’s stuffed in my closet in its case at the moment. It’s a great sounding and playing guitar but o hate dealing with a trem so I haven’t had it out in a while.

I've owned several guitars over the years (two electric, one acoustic and a borrowed acoustic) but never actually learned to play.
This summer, I got the urge again and spent a couple of months lusting over nice electrics ($$$) and then came to my senses and bought a used acoustic ($). I may or may not actually learn how to play, but it feels good to have a guitar again to play around with. 2013 Yamaha FG700S ![]() |

I put pictures of this up in another thread but figured I’d do it here too. Just an Epiphone G1275. It plays ok but I plan on putting new pickups in it and replacing the pots, switches, and cable jack and wiring it up like a Gibson one of these days.

Seems like my last one was just off for some reason to me. I couldn’t play it very well at all. You just had to fight it for good tone but not this one. And yes, I really like the pickups on it. The humbucker is a Seymour Duncan. Not sure which one yet but it’s nice and clean. |

Seen this hanging in the local shop yesterday so of course I had to liberate it. It’s a 1982 Ovation custom legend 1619. I was able to snag it for considerably less than the ~$1k that I usually see them at. I put it on layaway immediately.

They were supposed to pay homage to the original Artist series (70/80's MIJ) but these were made only one year, 2006, and they were made in China and were MSRP somewhere around $400. They continued the ARX line but they didn't share the cloud tailpiece that was similar to the one on original Artist series. Looks like only differences between 100/300 were the finishes with the 300 having a quilt maple top. The paint is near flawless on mine, only indication of it being MIC is some paint bleed around the binding but only if you look very closely. A little concerned there was some issue with the tailpieces that caused this to be a single year production as some of the later Artist series cloud tailpieces apparently warped. |
