Hello all! After not playing for a very, very long time (easily like 2 years) over the last few months I’ve decided to get back into it and start properly learning guitar and have acquired a lot more guitars than I probably need.. but they make me happy so who cares 🤷‍♂️ 

Here’s a list of everything from left to right :) 

• C-Giant Black Knockoff Stratocaster - according to my research these were sold really cheap in Aldi. My dad bought me this as my first electric guitar when I was 14 and I will absolutely never ever sell it or get rid of it. It plays horribly but I’d love to put some love into it and get it playing nicely!

• Harley Benton TE-20HH - really beautiful guitar for the money, feels a lot more expensive than it was (£60 with a strap and cable locally) and is surprisingly good for metal. rushed straight of college to go pick this one up lol. i have ernie ball beefy strings on it and i believe it’s currently in b standard

• Ibanez V40WSCE Electro-Acoustic - the best deal I’ve ever gotten on a guitar.. my dad won this on a raffle for less than £10. while it’s certainly not an expensive guitar at retail price it plays beautifully and i love messing around with it 

• Ibanez GIO SR180 Bass - the only bass i own, it’s nothing special but i like playing bass sometimes, i impulse bought this after playing it in guitarguitar for literally 5 minutes (i had to catch a train lol). i was so happy when it arrived because the shipping was delayed and its been used a lot for writing stuff on for my band. i’m by no means a bassist but it’s certainly helped me appreciate the art of playing baaa 

• Benson ES-335 Copy - my parents saw this at a car boot sale (or a flea market I think it’s called in some parts of the world) and picked it up for me. while i don’t play it super frequently it certainly fills a gap id have in my collection otherwise, and it looks very pretty in my opinion 

• Dean Dime-o-flage hardtail - this wouldn’t normally be my kind of guitar but i saw it for such a good deal in a pawn shop i just HAD to get it. the sparkle on the paint is beautiful and it is so fun and quirky, it’s certainly a conversation starter. 

• Ibanez RGA42EX - if you couldn’t tell, Ibanez are my favourite brand.. this was a gift off of my dad for leaving secondary school and is what got me back into playing guitar. i was genuinely so obsessed with this guitar and wanted it so bad and im so grateful to my dad for getting me it, i didn’t play it in the shop because I was too shy but I just held it and knew it’d be perfect. my favourite guitar by a mile!

• Schecter C-7 Deluxe - another impulse buy… the satin black picks up fingerprints so easily but I love this guitar and it sounds unreal, I use it for a lot of deathcore 

• Jackson JS32 Arch Top - this was yet ANOTHER impulse buy.. i paid £65 for it, who can really complain about that? the Floyd isn’t my thing but it’s certainly cool. i have it set up in c standard 

bonus is my kids guitar i have painted in purple with some of the artwork from the pierce the veil “misadventures” album, this was one of my favourite albums ever and ive seen them twice with my dad both times so its sentimental to me. it’s not even close to playable but its a nice piece of art to have!

That’s all from me.. im not really sure what else to put, I just wanted to share my gear with the world. i feel like i have a few “weird” guitars but they’re mine either way and I love them very much 

 

my current collection!
