Nice...you can go here: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v222/silvertone14/Tools%20of%20the%20Trade/ to check out some of my gear. The page needs updating...I've picked up another guitar and amp recently, but this is a good overview of my stuff.

Here's the 'Geeked' rig I just did, I'll get proper pictures when my bedroom isn't a total tip


Seems a bit meagre in comparison.

I only have pictures of the guitar i built, but the my other guitars are

my amp is a Fender FM212R Twin (2x12)

Heres some pictures of the guitar i made:

Im in no way a builder, just a college student that had a semester off, and i did it without any books or instructions, just on what i know from playing. So it has some flaws (extreamly bad paint job)

The pickups are Dimarzios, SD and PAF-Joe

Tom,
Do you have a link to the site that you used to outline your setup?
I'd be interested in doing that with my stuff.
Thanks

Nice Jazz Chorus Bossarea, every time I see one I always plan to save up, they reissued it recently, but I think it's been discontinued again.

Silvertone - I did mine in Photoshop using images from guitargeek (and I made the amp myself) I'll have a go at yours if you like?

That applies to anyone by the way, although it may take a while if I get inundated with requests

I used krylon, prime, black, then gloss finish.

There was no existing paint under it.
I made the entire guitar 100% myself. It came to me as a block of wood. I cut it out in my college dorm room, which took 14 hours non-stop since i bought the wrong saw.
I ordered the neck though, since it was too hard to make

ill have photos of my new and improved guitar within the next few weeks. I was gonna fix up my pawnshop Ibanez, but decided to fix up "Jackson" instead. it was black with red stripes, but i just finished sanding down the body and headstock.

i just bought the paint tonite.. its gonna be a PS-5 teal colour!!!!! from what i can tell its gonna have a slight sparkle to it. just like the finish of the PS-5, XT-2 etc. im gonna throw in some new pickups too. it should look pretty sharp..!!

if it had a maple fretboard, i totally would have went for a CE-2 50s surf blue colour, but that doesnt look as good with rosewood.

Here's my non-'geeked' setup. It's pretty much a dream setup for me (or at least heading towards an incarnation of it). I'd like a Roland JC120 and one of the new Fender Supersonic amps so I could A/B/Y it with the Studio 85 and a Jazzmaster and a Telecaster Plus and a few more effects, but it'll do for now, or at least until I get a student loan

I currently have severe G.A.S. so I think a tremolo and a new distortion/fuzz and possibly an EBow will be joining this lot in a week or two.

Guitars:

Fender CIJ Jaguar

Effects:

Boss FZ-2 Hyper Fuzz
Digitech Grunge
Fender Blender
Marshall Shredmaster
Boss HM-2 Heavy Metal
Boss HF-2 Hi-Band Flanger
Electro-Harmonix Small Clone
Boss DD-6

Amp:

Fender 'Eighty-Five' 112 Combo

Accesories:

Planet Waves 'Circuit Breaker' Cables
Godlyke PA-9UK Power Supply
Dadi Aluminium and Brass picks
Adam Hall Patch Leads
