Memorial Monday: My Grandfather and his 1929 Gibson L-5. He was a fix-it kind of guy who grew up during the depression. Though he had money in his old age, he'd always find a DIY solution to a problem. Silly Grandpa. The guitar is scheduled to be professionally repaired and restored this year.1yr ⋅ TheVolatics ⋅ r/guitarporn

This guitar makes me feel like I have a heart-throbbing high school crush. I think about her when I'm away from her. I can't sleep at night just because I want to be playing her. I want to buy her pedals and accessories as tokens of my affection. Her name is 'Vega' and she sings like the heavens.1yr ⋅ TheVolatics ⋅ r/guitarporn
I am considering letting this baby go to fund some more gear in our studio. It's a tough call. What do you all think? Would you sell to fund other gear or keep this Custom 24?1yr ⋅ TheVolatics ⋅ r/guitarporn

This is my happy place. We are doing some rearranging and updates in preparation for recording in the next few days. Changing all cables to Mogami Golds and also adding a few instruments, two more amps, new studio mics, a new drum rug, and 3 additional pedals. What would you add to this setup?1yr ⋅ TheVolatics ⋅ r/guitarporn
'So Long' Saturday: It's always difficult to select what instruments to let go of, but it's never difficult to know what I'm keeping forever. These three are moving on to make room for two very special acoustic guitars.1yr ⋅ TheVolatics ⋅ r/guitarporn
Headstock To Headstock: 24 hours ago I posted a collage of eight electric stringed instruments and asked which you would plug in first. The two guitars selected the most were the Alembic Further and the PRS Custom 24. If given the choice of only one or the other, which would you choose and why?1yr ⋅ TheVolatics ⋅ r/guitarporn

Left: Carpathian Spruce/Cocobolo 1929 style Ochestra Model - Right: German Bearclaw Spruce/Koa Vintage Southerner. These two are a perfect pairing for recording and sound even better than they look. Over 7 months was spent playing and testing acoustics to finally settle on these two.1yr ⋅ TheVolatics ⋅ r/AcousticGuitar
