I've got a Taylor k-14 ce, beautiful Koa wood guitar, a baby Taylor and an old beater that just sits around... I think it's an Oscar Schmidt. Lots of fun and enjoyment.

Just starting to play...my girl friend got me a an Epiphone Dreadknot Acoustic. I love just sitting there and playing with a big cigar in my mouth. I am not too good...so if yall have any pointers on playing or what I can do to improve myself Id love to hear...

I've got an Epiphone Les Paul II and and Ibanez RG220. Haven't really touched either one in a year or so... Would like a nice acustic to pick around on when I'm bored and don't feel like breaking out my amp and all that. Plus I live in an apt so don't really wanna piss the neighbors off cranking up the guitars...

I used to have an ESP George Lynch Kamikaze and sadly departed with it. Now we have a Fender and Ibanez that belong to my boys. Not sure which models right now. Will check later.

there are so many options you can take with dual humbuckers.

I have a Guild, DiMarzio (Strat Kit), Fender Strat. I want a Real Les Paul, Jackson, ESP, Washburn.

if you dont mind irreversibly changing the look of your guitar you can do a phase switch for each humbucker, a coil tap for each, and a series/parallel switch. its crazy what you can get a guitar to do.

It really is. Since this is just an Epiphone we're talking about, I don't mind altering it a little. I'm not worried about resale or 'collectability' (for lack of a better term). I just love how it plays and want to improve and add some dynamics to its tone. Now if it were a real Gibson, no e'ffing way would I be messin around with it!

Right now I have a mex. Strat and a beater acoustic. I keep looking at Epiphone dots, and I really want to pick up an old tele as a rehab project (never really torn down a guitar before). I would also love to find a vintage mustang if the price is right. Any body know where you can get a short scale neck like that without breaking the bank?

Thanks for the tip, I dug around a bit and didn't really see what I was looking for. Every time I talk to guys who have done "work" on their guitars, I mention this. Usually they just look at me like I'm nuts then change subjects. Now that I think about it this isn't really the only time that happens...

ever thought of building your own short scale neck? i dont know what kind of tools you have or need but you can do it on your own if you have those skills.

I saw those blanks at the link you sent me. I started thinking the same thing, I will do more research. Probably more a question of patients than skill.

I dont wanna get off topic too much, but I want advice. I bought an decent little acoustic ($250 or so) a few years back. Tried to learn chords from a poster, tried to learn notes from a learner book, basicaly played a few stanzas of "horse with no name" and gave up...........What is the best and easiest (I know nothing is really easy) way to start to learn to play----nothing fancy, just basics, Jimmy Buffett level guitar stuff. Any suggestions, ideas, etc. PLEASE PM me. I appreciate it all.

look up the tabs to songs you like. if you enjoy what you are playing then you will be more apt to play.

Mike...killer set up man! I keep looking for a great amp or head I can play without tearing the house down. I used to have a Kustom set up but got rid of it because it sounded bad (or worse depending on your opinion of Kustom) when I didn't have it cranked. Now I just use a single 10" solid state. I don't care for the tone much. I like to play real late at night, hard to get the kids used to that. Anybody know any great amps to play low?
