More octave + slap back delay tones from the #Gibson335S, POG, Ibanez DL10, and Ashdown Bass Amp. Yep, I said bass amp. This thing sleighs through it. #AshdownEngineering #octavepedal #EHXPOG #IbanezMasterSeries

Touched the strings on this 75 Strat for a few hours... Now, I dream about it each night. My buddy is selling this one and I just don't know if I can swing it. It sounds equally as fantastic as my 77 (and #1) but has a titch of squacky bell tone chime that I just adore. Who knows, if it doesn't sell it might be mine someday. I can't stop looking at that mocha finish, black pick guard, white pickup covers, and maple neck. That's a combo you just don't see often. #75Strat #fendersofinstagram #FenderStrat #mochastrat #Stratocaster #vintageguitar #vintagestrat

#throwbackthursday dreaming of my time with a '60 Les Paul Special in TV yellow at @cartervintageguitars. It was sporting a chunky '59 profile bound neck. The action and playability was mind boggling perfect. One of my "unattainable" dream guitars at a mere $10k. I'll keep dreaming... #LesPaul #LPSpecial #TVYellow #60LesPaulJR #vintageguitar #LPJR

Extraordinary things are about to happen to my 77 Strat (and number one axe)... It's enlightening and relieving to know that so many small businesses are out there improving the gear world. What you can't see is that this guy's tone is already enhanced via an @emersoncustom pre-wired kit. Now it's about to get a @masterybridge and @thegcs handmade strings. I think I'm going to be impressed... #77Strat #fendersofinstagram #vintagestrat #masterybridge

90s DODs are built like bomb shelters. Their tone is plain and simple, but often copied. Most of your favorite 90s axemen slang one of these in front of their amp. I started collecting these due to nostalgia but realize how great they were. Just snagged the #FlashbackFuzz which is reminiscent of a cocked wah plus fuzz pedal. Cheers to #DOD for setting the stage. #DODEffects #DODGrunge #DODSupraDistortion #DODChorus #DODIceBox #DODFlashbackFuzz #DODFlanger #DODStereoFlanger

Quacky, sparkly 1960s #Guyatone LG350t tone machine standing in the shadows. Can't throw enough positive vibes at this Japanese trio of pickups and switches. Hear it for yourselves in the video a few days back. How about that full chrome pick guard and switch plate? The thing buzzed like a champ until grounded to the bridge. I removed the fixed term arm for better playability. Looks grooved with it but does better sitting in a drawer for now. Had a local luthier make the ebony bridge -- now the action is tight and true! #JapaneseGuitars #catalogGuitars #GuyatoneLG350t #GuyatoneGuitar #cleantone #guitarcollection

She was a filthy mess. Now this 1966 #HarmonyRocket shines and plays like new. The tone and sustain out of this thing is insane given the size of the pickups. These DeArmonds are thinner than a pack of gum and produce a smooth, organic chime that is unique to the #catalogguitar brands. Neck is chunky and straight as an arrow. I've been looking for one of these for years and finally made a good deal on one. Anyone have experience with these full hollow body beauties? #HarmonyGuitar #DeArmonds #hollowbody #redburst

90s DOD Supra Distortion in sparkly, race car red. I've seen this bad boy for cheap on eBay and Craigslist but never made a deal until now. Glad to add this stomp to the DOD clan. It's a juicy high gain distortion with full range and tight response. She screams when cranked and still holds the character of your guitar tone. Gives you a sudo Marshall crunch. #90sDOD #DODeffects #SupraDistortion #effectsjunkie #pedalcollection #distortionpedal

Got back my 1960s Guyatone LG-130t from the guitar shop and put her through the paces. This thing is a hidden gem, tone machineeee. Plays like a dream with low action and thick C-shape neck. Sounds like a mix between a Jaguar, Strat and Tele. Such a bubbly and snappy tone. I'll post a closeup pic to see the crazy amount of switches, metal pick guard, and quirky headstock. Got this guy on @reverbdotcom right when they launched, for about $150, too!

One of my favorite vintage Les Paul finishes is white. The aged yellow it becomes is always unique with no two that are alike. Here's a 1974 #LesPaulCustom that I had the chance to strum at @cartervintageguitars in Nashville. The action was impeccable and the aged appointments were gorgeous. Look closely 🙄 to see the long lines of checking. This block of wood had so much style. If I had the cash, it would've came home with me. Onto a more affordable hunt. #LesPaul #74LesPaul #vintageFriday #RhandyRhoads #GibsonLesPaulCustom #vintageLesPaul #tonefordays (at Carter Vintage Guitars)

1985 Ibanez BPL Bi-Stage Phaser on a 1967 Cream, Disreali Gears album. Double decades apart but equally as psychedelic. #IbanezMasterSeries #IbanezLSeries

When I walked to the back of @cartervintageguitars in #Nashville I gasped, stood there, and stared. Impeccable selection of vintage amps. Who can spot the holy mother? (at Carter Vintage Guitars)

Stopped in @thirdmanrecordsofficial to grab some vinyl and make noise with their in-house rig. The #Framus was light with a silky smooth neck and perfect action. Always wanted to hear the @uniontubeandtransistor Bumble Buzz... it was a plus to play it through Jack's sexy @silvertoneguitars 1484. The fuzz was like a kamikaze bumble bee out for the kill. Like a smooth yet busted out speaker mixed with an arbiter fuzz. At least that my take on it. Pretty pricey stomp box. Had to hold off for now. #FramusGuitar #SilvertoneAmp #Silvertone1484 #BumbleBuzz #fuzz #JackWhite (at Third Man Records, Nashville Tn)

Walking out the door of Guitar Center when I spotted this beauty in the front office. They were prepping this 65 ES 330 to put up for sale at a nice $3k. Only problem was that the top of the body sunk a little over time. I'm on the prowl for the perfect vintage 330 or Casino but that sunken top makes me want to steer clear. The bridge was adjusted high to compensate. Anyone know if this is a common issue? Also, any advice on getting a P90 equipped vintage hollow body? I had to post this beauty after seeing @geartalk's 330 post. The aged sunburst variations on these are otherworldly. #ES330 #65Gibson330 #Gibson330 #hollowbody #vintagehollowbody #vintagesunburst

Top: 68 Fender Precision Bass Bottom: 97 25th Anniversary Fender Precision Bass (lefty) Any lefties out there want to trade for a righty? My dad's friend gave me the lefty P Bass but unfortunately it's uncomfortable to play right handed reverse Jimi style. It's in extreme mint condition with its original hard shell case, hang tags and plastic covering the pick guard. Boss basses sound fantastic. The 68 is full but tight and thumpy. The 97 is brighter but smooth and snappy. Aside from the tone, they are both good lookers 💁🏼 #BassGuitar #LeftyBass #FenderPBass #1968fender #PrecisionBass #FenderPrecisionBass
