7/4 Posted March 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 The originals were nice in Korina natural. With few exceptions, pointy guitars don't do too much for me. Here's a neat one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundog Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Pretty nice guitar work in this video. Hank "done" studied his Steely Dan solos. Nice guitar as well. Hank Easton Steely Dan Guitar Solo Medley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 (edited) The originals were nice in Korina natural. With few exceptions, pointy guitars don't do too much for me. Here's a neat one... I have a late-70's era Gibson Explorer (my main axe). Of course the body style is basically the same but it's a natural wood grain finish. It has a Floyd Rose locking Tremolo system and was modified (not by me) with active electronic EMG pickups. The action on the thing is amazing, one of the easiest guitars I've ever played. I've had if for about 10 years now and haven't felt the urge to buy a different guitar. This picture is pretty close to the one I have (except for the pickups and locking system).

7/4 Posted March 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 (edited) Gibson Moderne, The Moderne (80's "re-issue") The original '50's model may have never existed off of paper and the 80's version is gaining value. I always thought they looked very cool. Edited March 19, 2008 by 7/4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This picture is pretty close to the one I have (except for the pickups and locking system). Nice. I have an '85-'86 Ibanez Roadstar with a Floyd Rose, nice when it would stay in tune. It hasn't been out of the case in years. I should check it out and see how it's doing these days. I find locking tuners a lot more dependable. Just like this, except I swapped out all the pickups. and like mine, it was probably powder blue, then aged into this green thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7/4 Posted March 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Now a days, my taste in guitars run more along the lines of Telecasters and archtop guitars. I have a '52 Tele reissue in butterscotch (the only color) and a '96 MIJ Tele Thinline with a Seymore Duncan humbucker in the neck. I own a D'Angelico Excel EXL-1... but I'd love a Sadowsky.

Joe G Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Weren't you having problems with that D'Angelico? I had an Explorer with EMGs in the late 80's/early 90's. Paint job was kind of ugly, but it played great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
