Actually Exterminator, you can't be all that bad.  I keep looking at your avatar and thinking "damn, is that a 335 in his shopping cart?"....

I'm not sure.  It looks like one.  Sort of.

Enlighten me. 

You pick?  (other than your nose when looking up big words?)

Not sure of the model...I lifted the image from the Strike a Deep Chord: Blues Guitars For The Homeless album.

I would never call myself a guitar player...I play at a lot of instruments but have always had the role of lead vocals in any band I've been in.  I've owned some nice guitars, though...

"It's a high school vocabulary word; had you gone to high school, you'd know that."

Well, I suppose it's a good thing that you can claim to remember at least one thing from your high school english Exterminator.   I'm sure it makes your mama proud.

More importantly:

That looks like a PRS.  Very nice indeed Exterminator!!!!

Have you checked these out, btw?............:       http://line6.com/variax/collection.html

I've owned alot of guitars and I N-E-V-E-R thought I would sell them off.  But I did and now have 1 of these along with my acoustic, my dobro and mandolin.   But, I can claim with honesty that I simply will never own another electric.......because I don't need to.  I have 25 in one.   Truly amazing stuff.   Sounds mighty fine through a 4/10 fender blues deluxe.

Yep, PRS Custom 24, artist package in black cherry quilt, stop tail...I custom ordered it, took like a year and a half to get it.

Nice indeed Exterminator.   I'm sure it plays as well as it looks and it DO look mighty fine.   It's a keeper, no doubt.   

If you get a chance and have a decent music store nearby, check out the variax 700 (provided you haven't already).   The different ax's modeled are truly amazing and simply "dead on" sound.  The playability of the neck/fretboard is trimmed and no strain.   You'll be impressed.

But remember, it is important to turn the amp toggle into the O-N position for the sound to reproduce accurately.

I now steer clear of stores which sell musical instruments or P.A. equipment as I am prone to G.A.S. (gear acquisition syndrome).

"I now steer clear of stores which sell musical instruments or P.A. equipment as I am prone to G.A.S. (gear acquisition syndrome)."

Once again, we have something in common as I am all too well familiar with this ailment.  It's a very strange condition appearing without warning, without any particular pattern that can be measured, and is sometimes extremely costly to diagnose and treat.

I completely emphathize.

I would "pray" for you but somehow I get the feeling you would reject the results as being something foreign, mystical, and completely untrustworthy, I mean, being the heathen you are and all.

It's a single P/U Gibson ES-175



Here's a Gibson ES-335 Stop Bar/Dot Neck

Sounds mighty fine through a 4/10 fender blues deluxe.

Think you really mean a Fender 410 Blues DeVille



The Fender Blues Deluxe is a single 12" amp



Fender also has a 112 Hot Rod Deluxe, 212 Hot Rod DeVille, and a 410 Hot Rod DeVille




Hope that helps.

Here's a musicians area, we can have the mods split this off and move it for us gear heads.

"Think you really mean a Fender 410 Blues DeVille"

Thanks Da Wham.  Yup.  That's the one.  It's been so long since I plugged in (actually the amp is covered and sitting in a tight corner where I can't even hardly put my eye on it)...that I can't even remember my own amp. 

Isn't that a shame?

Just for kicks, from one of us rhythm guitar types.  It ain't no fender, but it sure is s-m-o-o-t-h....

[sally]

I never knew there are so many different guitars. Can  you tell a difference in the way that play or sound? *I mean electric versus electric or acoustic versus acoustic*

An Ovation Breadwinner. I had a Viper I traded off about a year ago.

Don't feel bad, I have three dozen or more amps......down from somewhere close to a hundred......and fifty or so guitars.......down from a couple hundred or so......in storage. I admit to being an equipment whore.
