1983 Ibanez RS315 with a GFS Alnico Fatbody pickup, bought it 12 years back with a Carvin humbucker in it, swapped this into it right away. I bought it with the thought of making it a raunchy Esquire, it worked :cool:

2021 Fender Player Tele upgraded with a compensated vintage bridge, vintage string tree, tort guard, and Seymour Duncan La Brea pickup set.

...and my dual purpose pedal board.
Korg tuner -> RMC3 wah -> Wounded Paw blender (with the Analog.man Beano Boost -> Analog.man King of Tone -> Dunlop FFM3 in the loop to allow a bit of clean tone mixed in) -> Keeley Compressor Pro -> MojoHandFX Mr O (phase) -> JHS Lucky Cat (delay)

I have a Dawner Prince Pulse (rotating speaker emulator) on order that will sit before the delay.

My only non-Guild electric, and my only electric if you consider the AA an acoustic with a pickup and not fully electric. It's a mid-'90s Samick made Epiphone Howard Roberts Custom. I admired the HR custom since I first played one back in the early '70s (both the original and the Gibson version). Very nice axe, even acoustically.

James, those are some darn cool gits and basses you've got there! That Worker Bee is really neat. I'm not sure if I've ever seen a 7-string bass before! I assume the pickup and the bridge are completely bespoke for that model.

Thanks, actually the bridge is an off the shelf Hipshot A style bridge in satin with the 19mm string spacing. The pickup is a regular/standard special order from Delano, not listed in 7 string on the site... but I have one ordered for a custom fretless I'm having built.
