American Made 80's model RRV jackson

i play a godin sd for electric, takamine eg544 acoustic (cedar top, koa back and sides), then i have a fretless ibanez gtr-50 (that was my first bass) thats just for messin around, for recording and live performances i play a custom bass with a custom zolla body, warmouth jazz neck, bartolini pickups, quick change bridge, grover tuners and a kill-switch for the preamp for recording... I've never been a big fan of jacksons. electric guitars i don't have much preference but acoustics i looooove my taks. and basses, i love me my rickenbakers...

Takamine! great guitars. I own one aswell, acoustic/electric.  its what I write most all my music on. the total list of guitars I own are:

JACKSON RRV (American Made)
JACKSON DINKY (Japan Made) With EMG's
ARIA Custom (looks like  a les Paul) from the 70's
Takamine EG-240 Acoustic/Electric
Martin Backpacker guitar
No Name Classical guitar ( I found in a dumpster one year and restored it , sounds amazing)
Palmer bass (one day I will use it to smash it on stage because its crap, it was givin to me buy a guy who just didnt want it, only thing its good for it hitting stuff with it lol)

as far as the power to run these beast I use a PEAVEY ULTRA which is an all tube amp 120w.  I am running two Marshal C's from the 70's in a custom oak cab.  its amazing that those two 12's from the 70's can pump like a 4 12 cab.
I also own a peavey bandit with 2 peavey 12's 
and then ofcourse a slew of huge PA equipment and tons of recording equipment.

(oops) a really nice greenburst yamaha accoustic, and a few other no name guitars that were given to me... powered through a new traynor 60watt tube amp.. :D

I have a Blonde 78' Fender Telecaster modified with a Humbucker- this was all done before I owned it by my dad. He had it when he was my age, and handed it down to me, which I will someday hand down to my son/daughter.
It's an awesome guitar. Everything from the tone to the build quality to the scratches and wearing, I love it. To me, it's the most valuable thing I own, and I would never in a million years sell or trade it in.


My acoustic is a Martin & Co. DCX-1E that It on the lower end as far as Martins go, but you can't beat it for the price. Still has the same martin tone.

I also have a POS Ibanez Bass for studio recording, not much to it.

I did play a Schecter C1 at Guitar Center that I fell in love with- it's a semi-hollow small body guitar:

Unfortunately, the only way I'm getting it for now is by selling or trading the Tele- not gonna happen :2guns:
