OT: Whatch y'all Playing

[rounder]

Just wondering. When it's late and it is too late to ride bikes and do work stuff...and you are tired of clicking around...do you haul out your instrument and play tunes. I do. I know that I am not that great but it is fun and sounds good. Martin HD-28 here.

[chuckroast]

Darn near the cheapest one they make though, a 114 model. I'd love to get a Martin cutaway.

And....I stink

[echelon_john]

Fender Telecaster and a custom solid body made by a college buddy of mine.

I have recently rediscovered my cherry red maple top Epiphone Les Paul Classic. I fumble around on it, but it's a nice way to relax.

Composite Acoustics GXi at home, Blackbird Rider on the road. Metal bikes, carbon guitars...

[Steve in SLO]

Mostly a 000-18 GE Martin, with some an OMCE Claro Martin, and a
Les Paul for the electric duty. I got others, but those are my favs.
Oh, I also play my steering wheel when the mood strikes.

[fuzzalow]

Purely an electric guy so it centers around a pretty standard rock army-issue guitar selection of Les Paul, ES-335 and Telecaster. Usually through a Bassman RI, a home-built Tweed Deluxe or a Soldano SLO.

I like the classic Les Paul/Bassman sound and the Lester's play much smoother after I refret them with stainless. Still a chore to play Clapton's second Crossroads solo from Wheels of Fire on it though.

Thanks all. Love bikes, but also like music. I like the face that you can pick up a guitar and that, even though you never played it before, you can fool with it for a few minutes and make it sound good. Not like that I could play like this.

In my other life, I'm a recorder player. I play with chamber groups, with a recorder trio, for English country dancing, teach private lessons, ensemble workshops, etc. I also play Baroque flute.
In my (copious... hah) free time, I am trying to get better at the accordion. I'd love to get good enough to play it in dance bands. But progress is slow due to limited spare practice time.

I have a 71 ludwig pro beat in thermo gloss. Just started up again after a 5 year hiatus.

Got one of those. And a Gibson SG. And a Fender Strat. Now, if I was any good... ;)

I like to noodle around on my Epiphone LP Custom...mostly when the wife & kids aren't home, and have a Sigma (by Martin) acoustic. Given my woodworking background, and access to tools and materials, I'm looking at building something along the lines of a Thinline Tele.

'66 Fender Jazz Bass. Never been much at it, but its so great to play and has such great tone. Play an od piece of music and find the line. It's all right. These days am running it throu an Orange practice amp, which has inputs for an iPhone or computer, and output for headphone, so nobody's ears get hurt. This is a great little amp.

Just making stuff up as I go, apparently with the transpose on...

I used to play in a band with Rick Kelly's niece's husband, so he had a couple of those reclaimed wood Kellycasters. Absolutely gorgeous instruments, both in terms of looks and sound. Lucky you!

I'm a bass player by profession, but have also played guitar for the past 40-something years...and I still don't have a decent flattop steel-string acoustic guitar. (Or even an indecent one.) Would love a D-28, but given how infrequently I play these days, it'd probably be overkill. Been eyeballing the current Epiphone Hummingbird clones...$300, how bad could it be?

(Wait, don't answer that.)

Cool project. It looks like a keyboard surrounded by speaker cabinets.

Santa Cruz OM-1

Contreras II

Haven't practiced in a LONG time, but still pull one or another out at night a bit.

[notsew]

1935 Martin Hancraft Imperial tenor sax or marine band harps.

Different kind of Martin, but everybody plays guitar, right?

[rounder]

Yeah. It's all music.

[Saint Vitus]

Last thing I played was a Guild Starfire bass that a friend owns. Great instrument.

I gave my '73 Rick 4000 to my old band member since he gets more mileage out of it in the studio than I had in the past 10 years (you've probably heard it as well). Before that there was a string of basses that began with a Vox Bill Wyman model 35 years ago, awful really but cool as hell looking.

Right now the Old Kraftsman Thin Twin (Jimmy Reed model) sits in the corner in pieces waiting for refurb.
