Guitars That Has Been Neglected But Shall Make a Return Soon?

i`ve always wanted an SG with maple fretboard,like in the first photo. Guitars i`m neglecting at the moment is all of em cos i`m out of inspiration recently.
Good thing is i have em all within hands reach in my living room except for an nylon string acoustic under the bed which i haven`t seen in ages

 

I have a Gretsch 2622T Streamliner with TV Jones Classics that sounds awesome! It’s my only semi-hollow. I prefer my full Hollowbody Gretsch’s, but this one is so fun to play!

I’ve been lending it to a friend of mine, and I’ve only played it once in the last 5 months. I took it home to change the strings for him. It has a bigsby, and if you’re not used to restringing one of those, it can be a bit stressful. I figured I’d do it for him, and save him the headache.
I plugged it in afterward and WOW! I almost forgot what a great sounding and playing guitar it is! It maybe has the easiest neck of all of the guitars I own.
Someday, I’ll start playing it more... when I get it back!

 

My gold top Les Paul.
It has P90s.
I don’t like P90s.
I’m anxiously awaiting the arrival of a set of Kinman Alnico V noiseless pickups for it.
The guitar has a great feeling neck, so I play it unplugged.
It will start going to gigs with me when the new pickups are installed.

 

My Gretsch 5420T hollowbody - but I put it away, then heard Brian Setzer in the stray cats for the first time in years. I raised the pickups, and it's back, baby. I nearly sold it...

Next up, coming to terms with the fideli'tron in my Squier Cabronita

 

I'm utilitarian... I have ONE of each primary guitar (1 tele, 1 strat, 1 les paul, 1 steel string acoustic, 1 nylon string, etc... etc...) so everything has it's place, and a particular job.

My Les Paul gets used the least but not by choice, I love playing it - it's simply because I don't get many gigs that call for it.

 

Carvin SH550.

 

It’s about time I picked up the Ibanez AG75 again.
I have more shoes than guitars though.

 

Squier Vintage Modified Mustang that I got last year. One of the most wonderfull neck of all time.
I had to bring along my daughter, one and a half at the time who waited paitently while it has been set up for 45 min...

 

My AV58RI

 

Hadn't played my Epiphone Dot (in the center of the photo) in quite some time. Brought it out for my band's jam session last week and it played and sounded SO good. Think it'll be my go-to for a while:

 

Wish u lived closer I’m sure it would be bees knees for me!

This was my first electric guitar.
It’s a fantabulous 1980 G&L F-100—good looking, sounds great, looks gorgeous...and I have no idea why I don’t play it more.

 

I was just thinking after our gig on Friday night that I might retire my Telecaster which I use pretty much exclusively with the band and start using humbucker guitars. I have 2016 Les Paul Traditional and two older Ibanez semi hollow body guitars an AS50 and AS80 that are really fine instruments that almost never make it out of the house.

 

I may get out my J45, which hasn't been out of the case in over a year. Who knows, it might have improved with age.

 

I am trying to bring back my MIM strat into the rotation for the last two years or so after being a five year closet queen. Not quite there yet, but I love the neck and the sound, so it will happen. I am working on a couple covers for it, so I'm investing some time into the rebirth. Still easier for me to grab any of my other five guitars first though and even my bass. Sad, but true, and really can't explain it except that I now have a bunch of exceptional guitars, so I can't complain about it.

 

This one hasn't been to a gig in ages. Must remedy that.....

(It's an '83. I've owned it since '92)

 

Nice one CalebAaron666 - moreover the 2622LH exists in that Torino Green... One day, I'll be tempted !



That said, none of my guitars are neglected per se : they just are waiting their turn to go on reharsal or on stage. I make a regular rotation, sometimes according to the venue or what we play...

Well, I must confess that my 2 acoustics are rather "Case Queens", though... I'm not really an acoustic player !

This has been sitting in its case in the closet for months. It was my main guitar for several years, but I acquired a telecaster and a Heritage H-140 recently so I've been playing those almost exclusively. I need to take this back out, though. As the semi-hollow black Gretsch owner mentioned above, the neck is super-easy to play. Sounds great also. It's a 2005 Pro Jet, upgraded with HS Filtertrons and a treble bleed mod.

 

I solved its neglect problem for a while by making it my "school guitar", but now that I've retired, even though it hangs right next to the door in my music room, my 12-string gets played very little.

Nonch Tidric here was also a school guitar, for the kids to play. I added some more art to it with my woodburning pencil, and I'm taking Nonch this year on the annual family camping trip.
