Pests Gear!!!

Hey guys, I am here to show you all the gear I use!!! Sorry in advance for the image quality, these were not taken on a proper camera and were taken at 4pm in bad lighting conditions...

Today, I am showing all of my Axes!

First up is my Clevan Strat copy, this was given to me on my 12th birthday (before I forget, my 15th is TOMORROW (Monday)!!!) in 2010, and although it is the noisiest thing ever, I still play it and I still love it!! It was my first electric, and right now the strings are off it because a couple of days ago, the active wire decided to remove itself from the jack, now I really do need a soldering iron!!!!! Check out the neck (2nd pic), it is a really expensive neck, yet it's on a copy..... It plays like mad (in a good way)!!!

This is the only acoustic I own right now, and it was my first guitar, I have no idea what brand it is, the frets need leveling and recrowning, it needs new tuners, needs a new inlay dot, but it is still playable, ad I still love it to bits!!! I got this for Christmas in 2007, and I still play it, although I'm probably getting a new acoustic tomorrow! A couple of years ago, the saddle collapsed at the D string, and I got it replaced, so now the action at the nut (pic 1) is damn low, and the action at the 12th fret (pic 2) is really high!!! I love the little fretboard tail it has, gives it some character and uniqueness!!!

This is my main "go to" Axe, it's an Epiphone Les Paul Junior. It plays really well, the string tension bent the neck forward to the exact feel that I love under my fingers for any LP and I didn't even get it setup by anyone!?!?!?!!?! I bought it myself with my own cash in August 2012, a d so far it never gives up!!! There is a tiny bit of hum, but not as much as the Strat. The action is low, which I really love to have, but there is a problem...
In the second pic, take a good look at the treble-side post, it has pulled forward a bit and that caused the 8th fret on the high E to buzz, and some of the surrounding frets have a bit of buzz as well, i tried hammering the post back in, but there's no difference, any ideas???? Other than that its beautiful and it is a great sounding Axe!!!

Happy Pestday, Callum.

ty Scott!
Today I will probably show my effects rig!!

Happy Birthday Pest, hope you have a good day bro and ask your old man to take you out for dinner !

Happy birthday Callum! Sweet axes, I have to ask though, is your Epi the rocksmith guitar? I have always wondered about that game.

This post got me thinking, I don't even know how many guitars I own now. :? I might have to pull them all out for a new family photo soon. :D

It's my son's 15th birthday today as well. But he's a drummer, not a guitarist.

Yes, but I don't have the game, I bought the Axe from my local music shop, goes for about $200

Rocksmith is kind of interesting, with good and bad points... it's sort of love/hate for me, although I haven't touched it for ages. The ABC's GoodGame did a nice review of it (from 17:45 onwards).

I like it, but there's no Green Day songs, so that is a downfall of it, but it's overall a neat game to have!

I'd buy it, but you need that stupid special cable that costs too much.

You talking about the 1/4" - USB adapter???? If you buy the game, it includes the adapter IIRC, the Axe plays pretty damn well, the Epiphone 700T Humbucker has a noice response to my playing style!!!

$200? That's amazing! The last epiphone I bought cost more than $500, and it was a fairly basic model.

Happy Birthday for tomorrow. You are truly fortunate to have 3 instruments to choose from depending on your mood. At your age I only had one - a Yamaha student model classical acoustic.

I now realise that your birthday was today, not tomorrow. And I've discovered you got another acoustic as a gift, you lucky bugger. What style of acoustic do you play - finger picking or strumming?

Rocksmith is wonderful guys. Though it's biggest problem is lag on the sound... And green day songs are now available as dlc on steam pest! As well as the darkness!

Sorry guys, you've got a nerd on the forums

How many Green Day songs are there on the DLC Taker??? I might actually buy it

Don't worry, you're far from alone. :D Did you see Phloggy's Tardis Tele? (Tardicaster?!) That thing rules in the geekiest possible way.

It's a Guitardis!
