My latest acquisition.

Sinmastah · 12-09-2009, 12:15 PM

Well, I was going to get that custom ordered Les Paul, with wandering tone knob option. However the chinese package delivery service lost it in the pacific. Anyways, they reimbursed me, so I got a new guitar.

It's my 8th guitar, and 1st acoustic. Go figure.

Picked it up from souldriver here for 90 shipped. Great deal if you ask me.

Some random silver stuff on the guitar, where the fret markers are, on the headstock, and pickgaurd. Kinda cool if you ask me, but I'm sure it will wear off eventually. The "Whatever it takes" is going as soon as I can find a bottle of goo gone, or something similar. Plays rather nicely, but from what I hear, it was the more expensive model before it got replaced by something else. There was a neck repair, but it is practically seamless.

Anyways, on with the pics!

dennistruckdriver · 12-09-2009, 12:19 PM

Looks like it used to belong to Vlad.

djwilbanks · 12-09-2009, 12:40 PM

Seamless?

Sinmastah · 12-09-2009, 12:48 PM

I mean that if you run your finger over the crack, you can't feel it.

djwilbanks · 12-09-2009, 12:49 PM

Okay, but the front looks like it was done with modeling putty.

Sinmastah · 12-09-2009, 01:00 PM

Yeah, I meant by feeling it. I really don't care what it looks like. I just got it to mess around on and practice.

dennistruckdriver · 12-09-2009, 01:06 PM

$99, free shipping with a bag and no breaks or magic marker....

jonesy · 12-09-2009, 01:20 PM

Might be good for this???

Sinmastah · 12-09-2009, 01:29 PM

It plays really nicely actually. I think it was 300-350 new. At least that's what souldriver said if I remember correctly.

jonesy · 12-09-2009, 01:44 PM

As long as you are happy with it bro, I guess that's what really matters.

djwilbanks · 12-09-2009, 01:46 PM

It's certainly a player. Glad you like it, Sin.

I love my Epi Acoustic...I put grovers on it now its effin legendary....never ever ever ever goes out of tune.

Yours has character...I like it. congrats

07LPStandard · 12-09-2009, 10:13 PM

Geez you guys act like it's the most hideous guitar on MLP..

It looks just fine, but the "whatever it takes" definitely needs to go.

As long as it sounds good and plays well, it's a good guitar. It won't look bad at all after some clean-up.

Sinmastah · 12-09-2009, 10:14 PM

Yeah, I'm going to be spending some good time on this when I get to bring it home eventually. Not like I care about the looks that much.

Have you seen some of the guitars on MLP?

Besides, we just give each other a hard time.

Yeah. Anyways it's not even close to the ugliest guitar.

He hasn't seen this white strat I got from some guy on this forum

Awful wasn't it? Send it back and I'll dispose of it properly.

You can even keep the case.

Paragon · 12-09-2009, 11:02 PM

Looks like someone was a Nightwatchman fan.

Yeah, that line sounded awfully familiar. That's where it came from

Sinmastah · 12-10-2009, 11:00 AM

What line, "whatever it takes"?

Yes, it is the name of Tom Morello's guitar for the Nightwatchmen. Check it out:

"Whatever It Takes" guitar - A custom Ibanez Galvador nylon string acoustic guitar he uses during concerts as The Nightwatchman. Plain body with 'Whatever It Takes ((star))' left of the bridge.

Sinmastah · 12-11-2009, 12:55 PM

Oh, thanks for the info. I had no idea. Oh well. It's still going bye bye.

The Guitarist · 12-11-2009, 01:00 PM

That's not what magic markers are for!

esembe · 12-11-2009, 01:08 PM

looks like the truss rod hole has been filled too ...hmm.

Nah, there is supposed to be a TRC there, but I can adjust the TR by going through the sound hole.

Jason · 12-11-2009, 03:58 PM

It's about time you got a guitar that makes noise without having to be plugged into the wall!

You playing it much?

Fuelish · 12-11-2009, 04:06 PM

Am kinda diggin' the pickguard, dunno why, as it's not what I would normally like .... but I do ... go figger

Yeah, it's nice to just pickup and play. Also I'm starting to play it on songs I'd normally play with an electric. I dunno, some variety is fun.

>Photi G< · 12-12-2009, 11:58 PM

Damn, Sin! I was looking forward to see your "custom" LP!
