    Not A Fender In Sight!

    I just looked at my current line-up and realized two things:


    1. I'm playing a lot of acoustic guitar these days. I think it's because of my lessons.
    2. Not a single Fender in the batch. As a committed Fender man, this is unusual.


    Anyone else gone through this kind of phase?

    I don't own a single Fender guitar. The only Fender product I own is my Vibrolux Reverb. That's kind of misleading because I have Tele, Strat, Princeton Reverb, tweed Champ and tweed Deluxe clones that I play all the time.

    I technically don't have any Fenders either. I do have a Squier and a strat build, with a tele build and a p bass waiting in the wings

    I do have two Fender amps, though

    I have a ‘63 Fender Jazz and ‘65 Fender Precision that I haven’t really played much since ‘88 and my ‘65 Dual Showman and ‘65 Tremolux amps that are only used in my mancave/practice room. The only electric guitar I own is my ‘59 ES 345.

    I’ve got AmStds from 2008-2018. Tele, Strat, Jazz Bass, P Bass. I love them. I mostly play the Tele, and as for the basses, they get equal time.

    Because I did indeed.

    Sold it and bought the Rickenbacker.

    Nah, they're 2013 "Future Tribute" guitars. With the Steinberger tuners (a description of the features can be read here).

    I call them "the twins." One is "Darkstar" and the other is "Woody." They're alright as SGs go, but I stopped playing them after the newness wore off.

    Re: Not A Fender In Sight!

    Here's my Fender guitars. American tele, MIM strat, J Bass and a clone with an ESP body/Fender neck hybrid (thanks to Bob Feather for helping me assemble this gem). Somewhere I also have a tele clone that I won as a door prize at a jam.
