Fuck I'm JEALOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSS!!

I forgot to put this one...

You too (U2) can "shine like stars in the summer night" with a guitar like my 1997 Washburn EA20 Woodstock Festival acoustic: Like the one that Bono used for "With or Without You" during The Joshua Tree tour [1987]

Once I get the digi-camera... and take more pictures... you will be more jealous. I have more guitars than the pics I've posted.

Not yet photographed?:
2007 - Daneletro DC-59 6-string electric (black w/white pick guard) Like the one Jimmy Page used to use for "Kashmir", "In My Time of Dying" &"White Summer/Black Mountainside"
2006 - Epiphone "Music Rising" Les Paul Standard - black finish w/Music Rising logo
2008 - Epiphone "Slash" signature model Les Paul Standard - tobacco finish
2004 - Fender Telecaster Custom - black finish (similar model to the one Edge used in the Vertigo video)

Complete list (to date):

Well, I've 11 guitars at last count... so everyone over my apt. for a play. I play well with others and share my toys.

Yeah... that or an old school EH Big Muff... it only takes a few times before you learn "CRAP, unplugge the bloody thing!".

Plus, if you leave a guitar plugged in... it's a disaster waiting to happen. EVENTUALLY, you or someone will trip over that chord - sending your guitar to the floor. NOT good.

I have always left my basses with the cables in and I never had any problem.
About the batteries, there is plenty of room beneath the pickguard to put a battery. And if you mess up, you can always change the pickguard, but you can't bring the wood back.

He says modestly

I was playing my mate's PRS something or other earlier, wouldn't get one personally (aesthetically, it just doesn't do it for me) but I couldn't deny that it's a great guitar for £450 (so that's what...$600+?). Great pickups, good action - I was cracking out Electric Co. and it felt great lol. Alright, the effects I was using at the time were all wrong (he's got this Line 6 amp. that seems to have a permanent phaser effect going on in addition to his multi-FX pedal, which was set to something mad) but it still sounded great

An ounce of prevention... is worth more than a pound of cure... something like that.

PRS makes great guitars. Their hollowbody and thinline hollowbody's are fantastic. Their guitars with the P-90's are great too.

Alex Lifeson from Rush used PRS's for ages, joking in one interview that PRS meant "Penis Reduction System" then adding that it didn't work for him... it didn't reduce his.

The Santana models are reasonably priced and fare well in reviews. So I've nothing against PRS guitars. Ibanez, Jackson, Charvel... however... Hahahahaha Get out the spandex!

lol indeed. I don't think it's a Santana model, but I'm not sure, I'm trying to find out now for reference lol. And re. Ibanez, pssch I dislike them intensely, but as for the other two makes, I'm not so familiar...

EDIT - tis a PRS SE Custom

To my understanding those are fairly affordable and decent sounding guitars. I shall have to feck with one at Guitar Center or Sam Ash some time soon - just for shits and giggles.

Indeed, take m'word for it (if that's anything to go by

), they sound good and for c. £500 are certainly worth it. If they looked nicer, I'd definitely be interested. But I'm not. lol. Give me an LP or an Explorer any day of the week (or a nice Strat. come to that, maybe even a Tele.!)

This is the Fernades I mentioned earlier. It's called an Monterey LSA-65 and they're no longer being made. Solid basswood body, bolt on maple neck, steel string electric/acoustic. Shadow piezo pickup. Quality Rosewood fretboard, bridge and tailpiece. Cool sound too. Think early Dave Matthews. I think I sold it for around $500 on eBay in '99. Oh well...

`Cept early Dave Matthews used a Gibson Chet Atkins solid body acoustic with piezo. But I get what you mean. Seems like an interesting guitar, that Fernandes.

Exactly. I couldn't afford the real deal so I scored this for half the price. Oh, and purchased it at Grayson's Tune Town in Montrose.
