    What non Fender guitars do you own?

    Just wondering what everybody out there has besides their Strats and Teles? I'll start this off:

    Cherry Red Gibson 335 Dot Reissue
    Taylor 614CE Natural Finish

    I've thinned the herd quite a bit to the guitars I just can't put down. These are in addition to the 60RI Strat that is my main player. What is everybody else out there playing?

    Aside from my Fender MIM Standard Strat, I own an Epi LP Standard, Epi Special II, Jay Turser JTB-2B Bass, and have a Jay Turser JT-135 and an Ovation LCS-247 on order. All of them Left-Handed.

    I've got an old japanese solidbody branded "El Maya". I don't know too much about this guitar or the manufacturer apart from that it sounds great and plays horrible :).

    It's made around 1978-80 and it looks a little bit like the mixture of a LP and an SG. The body is one piece of great looking mahogany, colored dark brown with a clear finish. It has a set-in mahogany neck with rosewood fretboard, Fender-scale and 22 frets. I put two Gibson PAF (no originals, maybe reissues? They say "Gibson" and "patent applied for", but they have 4 wires plus ground so you can do coil spitting and stuff) in it years ago and added coil splitting switches and a phase switch to it; the guitar gives a nice nasty "Peter Green" tone that way.

    The guitar is heavy as hell, the headstock is WAY too heavy, so the guitar always shifts towards the head, and it plays like shit :-) But it has a great sound, very deep, rich, dark, almost like a lion's growl. Great for traditional Blues stuff and such. I really love it.

    I have an ES-135. I love the sound of P-90 pups and it's something than no stock MIA Fender seems to have. I would love to try those new MIA Toronano though...

    Ace,
    I saw those in the new Frontline and am very curious as well. I thought it said Tornado until I looked at the ad very closely. Looks like a LP Special, especially with the TV yellow color. I LOVE P90's, so I can't wait to get my hands on one, I just havent been able to find one locally yet.
