Recently it's occurred to me that I may be a guitar collector. I play often and love it, but I don't really put much focus in playing live or forming a band. I figured I may as well document what I've been buying just for the sake of it. I may update this all with pictures and comments later.
Guitars: in order of purchasing '04 Squier Standard Strat - Pickups replaced with Fender Custom '69s
'08 Epiphone Dot Studio (returned shortly after purchasing)
'09 Fender Standard Telecaster - Currently being customized in my spare time.
'10 Warmoth Split Jazzmaster
'No year (probably '08) Trinity River Banjitar
'09 Schecter Stargazer
'10 Yamaha APX 500 FM
'00 Squier Stagemaster
'02 Rickenbacker 650 Dakota
Amps: In order Fender Frontman 15G Line 6 Spider III 15 (returned shortly after purchasing) Fender Frontman 212R (Got it as a graduation gift, I'd rather have tube) Vox VT30 (For bedroom and when I have to be quiet)
Pedals: Digitech XTD Drive (Resold) Digitech XDD Delay Electro-Harmonix Electric Mistress (Returned) Boss AW-3 Auto Wah (Resold) Digitech Hardwire CM-2 Drive Digitech XMC Chorus Digitech Jamman Stereo (Resold) Digitech Whammy Boss TR-2 Tremolo Dunlop 535Q Wah Boss TU-2 Tuner
My chain is Guitar > TU-2 > Wah > CM-2 > Whammy > TR-2 > XMC > XDD > Amp
For now, I'm planning on selling the Digitech Chorus and replacing the Delay, but I love the drive that I have. The reason I own so much Digitech is because that's all the local small store where I used to take lessons stocked, I'm starting to figure out that they're not all that great. I'm looking into a fuzz but I can't decide what exactly I want out of it. I've been thinking of a Devi Ever Bit, but I can't play one in person first because they're so scarce. I'd also love to build another Warmoth guitar, but I may hold that off until next summer.
