Not for me, but my 6 year old daughter has taken up guitar, and her $50 walmart special acoustic let her down. 22 3/4" scale Jackson to the rescue.
She was insistent that she wanted to play guitar, but never wanted to practice. Turns out she just doesn't want to play an acoustic.
Hey everyone, just wanted to show off my collection here. My 6 year is really picking up the guitar, and it has me going back to playing after a long hiatus. Don't really have anyone to talk shop with yet (hopefully my daughter will stick with it and that will change).
I spent some time in college as a guitar tech for a small Canadian company, and pivoted that into custom builds. Its not the most interesting collection, and the majority are custom builds but I just wanted to show off a bit.
Details for those interested:
Red Strat: warmoth body and neck with texas hot pickups
Orange Jacksonish: warmoth body and neck (pre-copyright changes) with EMG-HZs and a hot stack in the middle.
Yellow Tele: D.O.S Kraken Tele, carparelli XV neck humbucker and Duncan hot for tele bridge
Carparelli Diesel Baritone: Suhr Doug Aldrich pickups, 27" scale
Partscaster #1: my first build, D.O.S kraken neck, strat copy body, aluminum pick guard, Carparelli XV neck and bridge, Duncan JB Jr middle, Steve vai wiring. This was my attempt to bridge two big influences of mine, Similar Hendrix and Steve Vai. It came out with a real unique vibe.
1985 MIJ Fender strat: my first guitar that was given to me 27ish years ago.
Blue tele: warmoth body and neck, fender noiseless pickups
Not pictured: Art & Lutherie dreadnought acoustic, classical guitar, Carparelli Bubinga Bass.
Many others have been bought sold, built and traded over the years. Warmoth has spoiled .
Me though with the ability to build what I want with the exact specifications I want.
