With all this talk about guitars and amps lately, I think it would be interesting to see just what everybody has in their own arsenal. So how 'bout it folks, care to post some pics of your pride and joy (I know that Ed has a new beauty that everyone should see).
To get the ball rolling, here's my little family (part of it anyway).

That's my idea of fine art, Bill.

Ed,
First you need to upload your pics somewhere where you can link to them. Then if you click "quote" on my message with the pics, you can see how the links are inserted into the message. If you don't have a place to upload your pics, send them to me and I'll do it for you.

Bill, you are truley one spoiled puppy! Very nice stuff. Could you follow up with descriptions (year/model/PUs if altered)? There is one I don't recognize.
When I get home from this silly conference in Orlando (ie 'work'), I'll throw a pic of mine your way. How would I email them to you?

Okay,
Here's a few pics. I don't have everything neatly together.
The gold top and that Tele are gone, but I still have the RF and 335. Here's a better pic of the 335 and the new Tele.
Here's one of my Fuchs ODS100, tweed 2-12, 335, Strat and pedal board at the Castroville Artichoke Festival. 
Of course I've got other things to bang on as well...
Need to get pictures of the archtop, acoustics and my BFDR. But it's nothing like Bill's collection, or some others I've seen. I know one guy down the street who has some 15 PRS's and a few Anderson's just sitting around the living room.

The one you don't recognize is probably the brown one. That's a Sakashta Indian (known as Two Feathers). The mahogany back is made from the same chunk of wood that Robben's two Sakashta's were made from, so I guess they're sisters. The pickups in that one are the 59/JB set.
I don't have much of a memory for years, but here goes. The two Fenders are both MIJ, but with Kinman pickups. Both great guitars. The 335 is a '95 with a Gibson Classic '57 at the neck and a Fralin at the bridge, and an RS kit installed. The triburst Lester is a '01 R9 Historic with Antiquities and an RS kit. The other one is a '93 Standard LP, but it now has a set of Duncan Phat Cat pickups in it along with the RS kit. The RF guitar on the left is an Elite which was undergoing some minor surgery at the time, and the one on the right is the Red Lady. And the Baker is the black RF model with a 59 at the bridge and (now) a Pearly Gates at the neck. The Baker I'm afraid will be going up for sale here soon as I need to raise some money for medical expenses.
The amps, although they bear a curious resemblance to a rather well-known brand of boutique amp, are homemade. And just for the record, amp building is strictly a hobby for me. I don't have any amps for sale.

I missed one. The PRS is a 10th Anniversary model. It was purchased new and has been sitting in its case for 10 years. It is essentially a closet classic. If I could find an interested collector, I'd probably sell that one too, as I have never used it. It is a very pretty guitar though, with extremely detailed laser-cut bird inlays and a very fancy headstock inlay. The electronics are McCarty and it is a good sounding guitar.

Paul, if you just shoot me a PM I'll get back to you so you can email a pic.

|

What's an RS kit and what are the benefits of one? I have a '94 LP standard that could use a little help. Any tips on taming a pesky G-string would be appreciated, too. I get this thing set up about once a year but still have problems keeping the G-string in tune.
Bill, I think I've asked you this before but, do any of your LP's have coil tap? If so, what system and how did you install it?
Cheers

Hi Paul,
The RS kit is a set of pots and caps from RS Guitar Works
http://www.rsguitarworks.net/
Sorry, but the only advice I can offer on the G string problem is to make sure the nut is cut properly.
I have the pickups on my R9 coil tapped. The Antiquities that I put in that guitar are 4-wire, so I just put a push-push switch (which is already broken by the way) on one of the tone pots and used that to switch modes. It works quite well, until the switch breaks. I'm going to replace it with a push-pull switch one of these days.

| I'm wondering how well that RF Elite plays without a tailpiece or a bridge. |

I've been thinking about getting an aluminum stop bar for my 335. The lower mass is supposed to improve the attack and dynamics. I just figured that Bill had found the ultimate low mass tailpiece and bridge.
