What do you do with your most prized pieces?

[Larry]

My Dargie is my pride and joy. Enough said.

I take my Luke and share with my freinds and brother but the 20th is home bound for the most part, once out of the house, but as the new wears off I am sure I will share more.

My green EVH is worth alot, so it doesn't leave the case. I may sell it soon. I have a 3rd draft Star Wars script that is worth alot more, but I'm keeping it.

dont know how I'd feel about a BFR but I'm not precious about an Axis or a Silo.I work nightshifts and on each of the 4 nights I work theres a ball in a gig bag(normally the Silo) which comes in with me.and I get a couple of hours uninterrupted practice.I gig the Axis in my duo with whatever takes my fancy as back up.I home record mostly with the ASS because I like the variation,without having to pick up another fguitar for another part -The basses are purely for home recording and the odd jam night these days.I switched to guitar a few years back for my gigging income when backing tracks were really killing off the live rhythm sections in my area but if I can get a good (read regular) bass slot somewhere they'll be out more too

I have one Axis Sport which is signed by Ernie and Sterling Ball... I don't take that one out to gigs, and it doesn't get played very often... I'm trying to keep that beauty in top shape...

The rest of my guitars get played and gigged very often...

 

[SteveB]

play 'em!

I take my JP6 and my Morse Y2D to my (infrequent) gigs. I worry more about them being stolen than I do about them getting damaged. But I can't stand to play any other guitars anymore! Plus, I like to show 'em off whenever I can!

Mine are still in pristine condition, too! But even if/when they eventually take some damage, I'll still be happy as long as I can play 'em.

 

[Colin]

enjoy and respect them

 

[AnthonyD]

Play 'em all... Hard...

 

[jongitarz]

Yep...Made to be played!

 

[fogman]

Yep...Made to be played!

and made to last!

+1 !!!!! My very valid fear is that the cab will drive off with my guitar and pedals in the trunk.

 

[jongitarz]

I have guitars that I have paid from $3500 down to $400, and I would not hesitate to play any of them in a gig situation.

is this the $400 one?

 

[jongitarz]

No...I don't own that one. Damnit. I bleeb Koogie does. That guitar through the Mesa Boogie Dual Rectum Fryer was the shiznit.

No...I don't own that one. Damnit. I bleeb Koogie does.

Koogie owns that? that's amazing.

 

[Spudmurphy]

My Les Paul has a chunk missing out of the headstock, but i would shudder if anything happened to my AL !!!

 

[Tim O'Sullivan]

Play them! Ding them! Dent them! Gig them! They are not museum pieces, they are made to be gigged and enjoyed!
