I'm down to two.
One G&L, the one wit the maple neck that I absolutely love.
And a Fender Tele Elite, with active electonics:
And I play them through a Fender Twin: (not mine, a google image)

I have quite a few guitars but only one I'd call "vintage". A friend gave me this years ago, he'd bought it new in the early 60's and it was (supposedly) the first Japanese guitar maker on the market - pre Yamaha etc.
It's a Conora and it's a lovely old thing to play and worth a few $$$. I play bass now so this things just sits in the corner and looks nice :blush:
Not vintage but she's my main "squeeze". If you thought Parker Fly guitars were nice, then the Parker Fly basses are even nicer :thumbs::thumbs:

Anybody a fan of the Gibson Firebird I Reverse body or the Thunderbird?
My brother had a reverse body Firebird and I always thought it was an awkward guitar to play. Big and unbalanced (neck heavy w/ light body). I like heavy guitars, most people don't. That's why I have 70's ash body Strats.
I used to have a SG and an Explorer. They had the same problem with the strap button at the neck heel. Drove me nuts when I was playing with a strap!

Anyone have a Mary Ford microphone???
I forget if she played any instrument or not.....
Les Paul was into making his own turntables from automotive flywheels, this all in the 50's....due to my BILaw being into recorded sound div. at Library of Congress, I got into hi fi as a hobby, before stereo ever hit....
shortly after, Thorens came out with that TD124 TTbls.....8 lbs of heavy platter, large yellow/almond cast frame, room for whatever tone arm desired...
I remember transcription records too....

I haven't ever played a Firebird but I can certainly say I don't like heavy guitars or neck divers. As far as bass goes, I think the Parker is the lightest on the market and is beautifully balanced! Easy to play it all night :thumbs:

You know the Firebird was designed by Ray Dietrich, who worked in design at GM for a number of years. Never had the chance to play one. Just love the design, reminds me of the car fin era..
