Agent8 - the funniest avatar - i laugh at the cat everytime i see you post- can't help it
the 7 string looks like you have worked on it quite a bit - like the pick ups are missing the seat that goes around them, got a floyd rose 7 string - not sure how easy they are to get - and then you have a guitar shop some  ( some homage to SRV). 12 string fender. bunch of stuff. Do you play for a living or just collect guitars?

 
The electric's just an Epiphone SG special that I swapped an old cheap acoustic for just to have one electric. The others are a Pono D-30 and a Blueridge BR-40. I'll be getting another Pono all mahogany 12 fret sometime in the next month. 
If you've never heard the Ponos, check it out here:

nice +1  I knew we had musicians in this group.

You had me at "Built for Tony Iommi to use onstage with the might Black Sabbath".  That is a beautiful guitar.

Very nice! Here is my latest...


 

That is an insane looking guitar! Very nice. Congrats on the new addition. 

thank you! That grained look is something I discovered when I built my subwoofers. I stained it two different colors of Grey going with the natural wood grain and I let a little bit of the natural mahogany show through. Then I took a Q-tip and pinstriped black stain going with the grain again and rubbed it all out in the same direction and hit it with 440 sandpaper a few times and then put about two dozen very light coats of Poly on top. For some reason it looks a little purplish in the pictures but it's kind of a wood grey and black color

Oh snap.  You play  the guitar?  Thats some nice looking wood grain on there.  I use to be into bands and music don't judge me I use to play Clarinet

Me too -started with the clarinet and moved to trumpet - three years at that loud and proud - nothing wrong with some woodwinds!!!!

Nice collection Agent8. Glad to see so many people into music.
I love the natural wood guitars. My Ibanez has just has red staining on it where the wood grain shows through.
Can't say I'm a musician by any means, a few chords, few power chords, bar chords, few notes thrown in, some feedback = a lot of noise!
I played with others when I was a teenager, gave it up for a long time.
Now I play for myself and I do not let anyone listen in. I'll play when I am home alone to the music that's on.
Or just play some blues rifts or some Sabbath rifts. Short fat fingers do not make it easy for to play chords, so I had to adapt.
Hope to make a lap steel out of a cheap pawnshop find. Make a new higher nut out of buffalo horn and raise the action.
Can't read sheet music so I use Tabs to help me learn a song.
Also use guitar pro 5 and I have a ton of tabs someone gave me.

I just think it's great that you take the time to play and learn. Music is it's own reward. 
I just play for myself and family at home also, I enjoy it and hey that's why I have the guitars ;) 
read sheet music...not so much either but tabs work fine, use whatever works for you. 

I like it, congrats on the new guitar.
Hope it gives you many years of pleasure.

I just picked up a Fender CD 60 a few weeks ago as I had always wanted to learn to play.  Then I busted up my left hand and had a few fingers get stitches so that kinda killed my learn to play right away plans.

Ouch. I had hand surgery about 6 months ago for a broken hand and to re-attache the ligament in my little finger...not fun. I hope you heal up well and can get on with playing soon. 

Nice guitar! 

 
Nice geeeetar.          =)

This is one of my basses. It’s a Fodera Emperor 5 Standard, a very nice instrument that has served me well for the past 3 ½ years.
 

 
BTW – I do not normally use the Korg tuner you see on the floor in front of the bass. I like and use Sonic Research Turbo Tuners, an ST-200 as a stand-alone and an ST-300 on my pedal board.
 

I really like the look of this bass! Nice.
I want a Fender Jazz Bass to add to my collection. The link "sweetwater" where Bill got his new rig has the 60's and 70's version of Fender Jazz basses also.
The Sadowsky RV4 in the picture above looks similar to a Fender Standard Jazz Bass.
 
I have problems with the cervical and thoracic vertebra and it causes my hands to tingle and go to sleep - My neurosurgeon has me wear these large braces on each arm and he diagnosed it as stenosis and carpal tunnel - pain in the butt but I can still play my bass.

That speaks volumes for the fodera. The 2 basses you traded are by no means slackers - I really like the bongo Bass and the fender jazz has a reputation that speaks for itself.
 
Have you ever played a Warwick? My friend has one and it is very impressive both in the quality design, parts and the look and sound. They are not giving those away either.
 
So the neck thing is not new, but like anything it is not getting better. I have a much worse problem with my lower back and have had surgical procedures done as recent as 4 weeks ago. You would not know it if you saw me -plenty strong, but the non-stop pain takes its toll. I have always been very athletic and now I am reduced to stretching and no lifting. BTW I was never in any accident - get asked that alot.
 
If you could have any bass at no cost what would it be?
