Your eclectic electric

[archey]

Let's see your off the beaten path guitars. Here is my Daion Power Mark xx to start us off.

My PartsMaster. Mahogany body (I think) Ibanez USA F-2 in the bridge. Brass nut with string lock behind it. Khaler trem. Super sculpted heel. I love it.

Heritage VIP2 1986

Maple body, mahogany set neck, flat mount Kahler trem, Heritages own HRW pickups with vari-phase wiring ( hence the model name )

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I'm curious about the Isabella.
Tell me about it and why you parted with it.

@wilblee I'm not very knowledgeable on Gretsch guitars. Is the 2nd one pictured a Roundup? I always thought those looked so cool.

Bookmarking this for the next time my wife asks "why do you need THREE electric guitars?"

@wilblee I'm not very knowledgeable on Gretsch guitars. Is the 2nd one pictured a Roundup? I always thought those looked so cool.

It's not exactly a Roundup. It shares the color, fret markers, headstock inlay, G-brand, and leather trim with a Roundup. Where it differs: Pickups - the Roundup typically has Dynasonics where the 6121-FTW has Filtertrons (TV Jones Classics in this case); Tailpiece - the Roundup has a belt buckle stop tail where the 6121-FTW has a Bigsby; the Roundup has a steer head pickguard where the 6121-FTW has a gold "Chet Atkins" pickguard. I replaced my pickguard with the (IMO way cooler) steer head pickguard. I also replaced the Bigsby flat handle with the wire handle.

Here's a pic before the mods.

I always preferred the look of the wire handle as well. Nice guitar!

Found this plexiglas Strat style guitar on ebay for a good price and thought it would be fun to wire up a light show of some sort in it. So, I routed it for a 9v battery compartment and added a few multicolor LED's that step through 5 colors and one random flash mode with a single momentary switch. Here it is in daylight and a semi-darkend room shown with 3 of the available colors. I was still gigging at the time I made this and the general public got a real kick out of it when I played it on stage.

My SX Liquid -- best $89 I've EVER spent on a hunk of wood with strings and magnets. Hell, probably the best $89 I've ever spent at all.

I can do eclectic...

My rather obscure Lindberg Carolina, made by Rodebald Hoyer in Germany in the mid 60s. Originally a red burst, now gloriously faded so that it looks spattered in blood.



A Les Paul Professional from 1970. 'Hey, Les, have you seen loads of people are playing your guitar? We should really think about a reissue!' 'That old heap of junk? You should let me design you a real guitar!'



I can't resist making weird stuff as well. How about a guitar that matches your snakeskin boots?



And, for complete obscurity, a five string tenor version:



It's clockwork! A copy of a 1820s Staufer I made in college - the key raises or lowers the action.

Does this count?

Maybe a little more traditional than a lot of guitars in this thread, but not quite a Strat, Tele, or Jazzmaster. A combination of all the best parts!
