"But the site leaves me feeling a bit...gauche....   "

 

Please elaborate; I'm not sure why? The main question in this thread was:

 

How many guitars do you all own?

How many are Heritage?

 

They are my wife's. She plays, and I more or less got into collecting them with her after hearing ad nauseum that there are not decent lefties available, and that she should just learn right handed.

 

The site was put together a bit tounge-in-cheek, as we have met several players on forums (lefties and righties) who have become friends and visited. One of them joked that we should open a bed&breakfast for travelling guitar players, so we tried to make the site look like that's what we do.

 

Basically it is a way to have an online photo album.

...as was my response.

 

BRRRUMBLPAUGHNNUMPH!!!

 

"Dear heavens!  What was that!!?"

 

"I think it was another pun, collapsing under its own weight!"

 

Amazing collection...but only one Heritage??

Gauche as in Left! How dense of me  :-[

 

 

Very good, I should have gotten that one. How can I vote up your Karma points?  ;D

Thanks, Jim!  I, too, am a fan of analog delay; nicely done!  I figured you were at work, having the same kind of day I was and it'd land on you eventually.  ;)  Did dig the website!  About the karma, not sure how that works....but I could use all the good karma I could get...here at work, anyway....

This HOC forum is a really nice place...

 

The Tulk1 list was exhilarating... But I already used all the items...  : - (

And the "how many guitars can you handle..." is the REAL question...

 

Anyway, here's my list...

 

First, the historic guitars : a Guild D44 (pearwood) and a Guild F312, bought in the seventies... Those guitars are so loud and so well-aged that when a friend of mine plays a solo on his Taylor while I'm lightly strumming chords, he can't hear himself anymore... No, no, I won't sell those guitars !

 

Then I bought in 2000 a Guild F65-CE, it's just an amazing guitar, just like a toy, all plain maple, great... I'm a Westerly plant Guild fan, and I believe there's no-one closer to an Heritage fan than a Guild fan...

 

After that, I wanted to have an real electric guitar, so I bought a Godin Montreal. Nice guitar, wonderful mahagony, but I don't play it much often, although when you play it through two amps with its two cable-outputs (a tube amp for the magnetic pickups and an acoustic amp for the piezo), it produces a stereo image that's amazing... I should sell this guitar, but... but... No, I won't sell it !

 

Lately, the Guild fan in me found on e-bay USA a brand-new NOS Guild Benedetto X-700 Stuart, for a ridiculous price. Outstanding quality, nice tone... they won't make guitars like that anymore... Neither Guild nor Benedetto... I'm planning to put it in a safe... Not for sale !

 

Then I discovered in Germany a guitar that's not available here in Europe, only sold in the US through Musician's Friend, a second-hand Steinberger Transcale Synapse... I was really curious about the instrument, and I have to say that it's a tremendous guitar, very very fast neck, wonderful electronics (PUs + piezo) and it delivers an astonishing wide range of tones, no problem to play jazz on it, no, no, I won't sell this guitar... Not much comfortable to play, but perfect to take away...

 

After that, still looking for the Gibson 175 tone of my dreams, I discovered that the answer was : Heritage. So I bought that H575 and then a Sweet16 - and this baby is my favourite guitar for the moment (pics in my topic : "Let me please introduce myself...")...

 

Oh ! I forgot one ! A D'Angelico replica, a 18' inch archtop made by Vestax in Japan (far better than the Excel replicas), plywood except massive spruce top, with a floating Kent Armstrong pickup that's not very good (nothing to compare with the handmade Kent Armstrong PUs), and this is my workhorse big box jazz guitar, that I can take outside without worrying too much if someone's going to steal my car or throw an empty beer can at me because I can't play Smoke on the water... :-)

 

And I'm selling a guitar ! A '85 Fender d'Aquisto Standard, mint, OK, this one has to go... It's going to make some place if someone round here has an Heritage Super Eagle with floating pickup to sell...

 

Best regards !

 

Christian.

I used to own one of those! The quality of construction on those Westerly Guilds are the best I've seen. I sold my F65CE because while it played well and looked stunning, it didn't have the bass response I was looking for.

 

I used to own a Guild Bluesbird as well, and have been having regrets since I sold it. I had a chance to buy a Nightbird as well, but passed it up. What was I thinking?
