Bullet Guitar

[David]

Favorite Amp: '67 Marshal Plexi. I don't play it much but the tone is unreal. Kind of a one-trick pony but I have a dozen other amps and none of them do that particular trick anywhere near as well.

Favorite Guitar: For tone, I'd have to say my '75 Strat. I've got older and nicer ones, but the '75 has a mojo that can't be beat. I don't have many new guitars ("new" meaning 90s or newer), but my Johnson Strat comes the closest to the throaty tone of the '75 for non-vintage guitars. For versatility, my PRS Custom 24 beats them all. Not much cool factor, but you can dial in anything you want. Surprisingly, I've got a few 80s Elite Strats, and one of them in particular has the growliest tone I've heard in a Strat. I think someone did something very subtle to it. Parts are all original, but there is some non-factory soldering between some of the pots. Hmm...

Strad, most of the gearheads I hang out with agree with you regarding the Japanese Strats. Quality and tone are outstanding, and the collector market is catching on. Their value is rising. I don't have any Mexican Fenders, but their quality is pretty darn good as well, especially when you consider the price difference.

I love it when my hobbies collide:

Guitar talk on Guntalk? I had to jump in on this one! Guitar of choice Dipinto Galaxy. Amp of choice, 72 Fender Vibrolux. Other guitars: spare Dipinto Galaxy, Yamaha SGV 800, 66 Fender Mustang, 67 gibson sg, 90's mex strat, 67 gibson firebird, ummm couple other weird ones. Other amps, 70's silverface bandmaster reverb, reissue fender deluxe reverb, 1484 sears silvertone, Roland Jazz Chorus 77. Good to see ya David!

Yeah! Now we just have to get you jamming with us sometime! A52 has really changed and is a very funk/jazz/blues kind of place. Less metal than when you were there. You should stop down.

Well, are we listing all our guitars here now? I'm too lazy to list it all out, but I've got a red '65 Mustang that would probably look nice next to your '66, and a cream '66 Jazzmaster that would be their little brother. A bunch of vintage Strats, but no vintage Teles. Not sure why. Just haven't found the right one yet? My late-model Tele is gorgeous though, cherry top with a white binding. I got rid of the ridiculous tone-sucking modern pickups and put Twangmasters in there, so it quacks properly now.

Also looking to get a '62 Jaguar, but the only ones I have found are too beat up or not original. Got two custom LPs and a nice tobacco brown burst SG, but those are all 90s or newer.

Here's a photo I snapped a year or two ago. It's missing maybe five that I've gotten since then. I think you'll recognize the venue!

drooling with some of the list of gear here, unfortunately when I put down the soldering iron many years back I haven't picked up a git in that time, not that I could play anymore anyway--too much solder fumes! Makes me want to go down and stare at the piles of gear I haven't touched in years....

[David]

Piles of gear? Anything you want to get rid of??? A lot of gearheads don't play much anyway, so you're in good company.

Aw hell, we really should have an MNGuntalk jam one of these days! Everyone on stage has to open carry though...
