My ‘most stored’ guitar is probably my F100 , which for sentimental reasons I’m trying to preserve as best I can. I have maybe three or four guitars that I don’t play much. Ideally I would like to someday, but in truth most of my playing is just at home where it isn’t really necessary to drag out the ‘nice’ ones for the sake of practicing scales and licks. At most I estimate they each get played a half-dozen times a year when I want to record something. Those guitars are mainly my MIJ Jaguar, American Special Jazzmaster, one of my ‘66 Mustangs, and actually my ‘87 SC3 I’m somewhat ashamed to say.

Nothing really against it her, just heavier tone and weight than I have been after. On the road this week but will pull her out when back to see what I've been missing. (only after plunkin' the new ASAT III and Commemorative)

Deepest in my closet? That'd be my 88 Fender Strat Plus. I bought it off the rack in 1989 or 1990, having wanted to get a brighter sound than I could get from my Les Paul at the time. I kind of regretted buying it, as I never bonded with the Lace Sensor pickups. Loved the neck, but didn't like playing it once I plugged it in. So it's still in mint condition. The last time I pulled it out I thought - I should just drop some G&L MFD pickups in. That'd make it sing like it ought to. I was never sure if the pockets would be deep enough for it though, and didn't wanna buy the pickups until I knew for sure. I'll get around to that some day.

Danley wrote:Wow - great work on the Airbrush! Dan - does your Strat Plus have the Sensor Red/Silver/Blue set, or the Golds? My friend had a Plus with the RSBs, and that guitar always sounded *very* dark compared to other single coils. I have a Hot Gold set (different than the regular Golds with regard to higher gauss strength in the magnets to my understanding.) They sound much more bright/single-like than other Sensors I’ve used (esp. as I have 500k pots) but are still a bit on the darker side.

I have an old EMG SA set in my '89 Skyhawk...they lack a little of that alnico sparkle, but nails that Gilmour tone.

Danley wrote:Wow - That's pretty amazing and looks awesome. Are you thinking the short in the dummy coil is worth re-winding that coil over, or are you going to leave it? How do you have the switching set up? I'm thinking it would be interesting to have three-way switches on each pickup, for full/split/off potentially.
