That's a '59 Pro DC. They discontinued them last year. Going on eBay anywhere from $250-400 right now.

Gemmwah · « **Reply #2151 on:** 25 Apr 2008, 10:47 »

Wow, that's way less than I was expecting. Sweet.

Please donate the dano on the far left and the LP to me, I am poor and in need of guitars.

Edit: Also, what's the model of the dano? I am actually dying to get my hands on one.

I've had that Les Paul for 23 years so no.

The black Dano is a baritone guitar, the regular model is called a 56-U2.

Patrick · « **Reply #2153 on:** 27 Apr 2008, 09:52 »

I'll take the Tele, the Les Paul, and that maroon Dano '59 DC. Especially that Paul, it looks like it's seen a few years (but has been beautifully well-kept).

Also, I can't tell if that acoustic archtop with the f-holes is a Kay or not. If it is, I wants it. :B

valley_parade · « **Reply #2154 on:** 27 Apr 2008, 09:59 »

I'll take the Harmony semi-hollow, thanks.

Mannetar? Guitarequin?

So, at my local guitar shop, there's this used Johnson hollowbody jazz guitar. I played it through the amp I'm getting, and it sounds pretty sweet. It also has the kind of finish I want, and it's only three hundred dollars. The downside is: gold hardware. At least the pickups are gold-plated. I'd also have to put lighter gauge strings on it. But hey, a three hundred dollar guitar.

Patrick · « **Reply #2157 on:** 27 Apr 2008, 13:11 »

My first guitar was a Johnson. I still have it and if not for the shitty electronics it'd still be playable.

Emilio that is the creepiest thing I have ever seen.

Tehz · « **Reply #2159 on:** 27 Apr 2008, 18:33 »

I'm not sure which is creepier, the guitar itself or the guy playing it.

Ballard · « **Reply #2160 on:** 27 Apr 2008, 19:48 »

The guy playing it looks like any or a combination of the following people:

The guy from Wolfmother
The guy from The Mars Volta
The guy from Coheed and Cambria
Kimya Dawson

I went and hung out at my local music store yesterday. My friend and I were fooling around with some gorgeous Lakland basses, and we got to talking with one the cool employees there. It turns out he has the weirdest upright bass known to man. It's from sometime in World War II, and was made for Kay by the Ford Motor Company. It has an aluminum body.

Ballard · « **Reply #2162 on:** 27 Apr 2008, 20:28 »

RESONATOR UPRIGHT BASS YESSSSSSS.

sean · « **Reply #2163 on:** 27 Apr 2008, 20:30 »

That sounds like the best bass ever.

WANT!

At first I thought you were talking about these-

The Framus Triumph. I have never seen one in real life. I thought because of the metallic finish that they were metal, but they're actually wood.

greenMonkey · « **Reply #2169 on:** 29 Apr 2008, 16:39 »

Excuse me, did we skip over something?

Namely, WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT DOUBLE ROCK BAND DRUMSET THING?

Chaon · « **Reply #2170 on:** 29 Apr 2008, 16:48 »

Its two Rockband drumsets, which are connected to a laptop, which is connected to an amp.

Ballard · « **Reply #2171 on:** 29 Apr 2008, 16:57 »

What exactly does this do for you?

Bearer · « **Reply #2172 on:** 29 Apr 2008, 17:52 »

When plunged into the PC, it basically acts as a digital drum set, only you could theoretically map different sounds to each pad. Setting the pads up in a binary configuration could be cool (different "notes" when the pedal is held down or whatever). The band The Guitar Zeroes did it with Guitar Hero controllers. They could hit about 31 different notes without changing any of the settings. They're actually alright for what they are.

just don't do what I did with my LP and leave it in your car for 10 minutes while you go to get something from a friend's place. INSURE IT. NEVER LET IT OUT OF YOUR SITE.

And naturally, play the absolute shit out of it

Patrick · « **Reply #2178 on:** 30 Apr 2008, 07:29 »

You know I only just got her back from busting the headstock in October, right? :B

I would probably take a whole-guitar picture, but I don't feel like it. Why should I take pictures of the SG when I can destroy the house next door with sound waves?

See, this kid gets it..

Anyways, congrats Patrick, and welcome back on the humbucker wagon. We've missed you.

On a side note: I'm getting a new 7-string pretty damn soon!

Congrats on the SG.

valley_parade · « **Reply #2182 on:** 30 Apr 2008, 11:22 »

Not so bad if the back design were on the front.

Gemmwah · « **Reply #2183 on:** 30 Apr 2008, 11:34 »

I well like that, actually. It's adorable.

Patrick · « **Reply #2184 on:** 30 Apr 2008, 11:45 »

I was just telling Shane the same thing. Although I do agree that it'd be better if it were a bit simpler. At least, that's what I'm assuming is what Shane likes about the design on the back.

valley_parade · « **Reply #2185 on:** 30 Apr 2008, 11:51 »

Spot on.

custom lp

I quite like it... I half agree with the back-to-front thing but i like how detailed the front is. Might look cool with the colours used on the back but the design of the front?

Also... does it seriously say "Music Saves Lives" on the back?!?

[edit: Oooooooh, it's part of the "Music Saves Lives" project. Got it.]

Bearer · « **Reply #2189 on:** 30 Apr 2008, 17:06 »

Guys, I think we all forgot how awesome my Firebird is, lets get back on topic

Anyway, that SG is all kinds of sexcellent. In other news, I just got an Ibanez Mandolin for $180. In other other news, My Grandad's 1940s Gibson ES-335 is finally finished being worked on! it should arrive within the next week or two! Pics when it happens!

Bearer · « **Reply #2190 on:** 30 Apr 2008, 18:09 »

Well, I think the XBox 360 controllers are USB right off, so if you've got the PS2/3 version, you'll need an adapter to even hook it up. As far as making music with it, I know there's some sort of mapping program out there, watch that video I posted, they mention it in there.

Grandad's 1940s Gibson ES-335

Patrick · « **Reply #2192 on:** 01 May 2008, 07:22 »

Quote from: Wiki article on the ES-335

The Gibson ES-335 was the world's first commercial semi-hollowbody electric guitar, released by Gibson Guitar Corporation in 1958.

Ok, so I'm not a total fucking guitar nerd, I'm sorry! GOSH! It's actually a 130 now that I checked.

Anyway, it came like 2 freaking weeks early! It is honestly the most beautiful fucking thing I've ever seen (even if the new pickguard broke off in transit...assholes). I'll get pictures up in a bit, prepare yourselves!
