I have a hunch a lot of TRF members are also guitar players/collectors. Which of your Rolexes reminds you of your favorite guitar ? My GMT 1675 reminds me of my Historic R0 Les Paul because it has that vintage vibe , made its name in the 60s, and looks great on the wrist like the LP does on a strap! How about yours?

There is a guitar thread in the Open Section!

Fender Stratocaster. Like how Eric does it. Cheers

(p.s. I own a Fender Stratocaster '68 Reverse in black. I say own, as I definately can't play it to justify it

)

My SD reminds me of my late Ebony LP Standard! I miss her dearly!

My Deepsea with active EMGs is like the Zakk Wylde Bullseye LP Custom in my avatar - modern, big, loud and in-your-face!!

I hadn't thought about it before, but my new Milgauss is a perfect foil for my current main guitar. Like the Paul Reed Smith CE-22 that I own and play, the Milgauss is a great example of the best of both worlds - modern technology and the clean, classic look of traditional styling. Both use top-quality products and their attention to detail is par excellence. And, like my Milgauss, when I first got my PRS, I would constantly study it under harsh lighting to detect any slight scratch or imperfection. Until you realize that, to treasure something, you must make it your own and ordinary wear-and-tear is part of that.

My old 1985 Air-King. Hmmmm. A workhorse. Nothing fancy, just did what it was supposed to do and accompanied me throughout life's journeys. I guess that's like my college guitar - don't laugh - a Kramer Focus. It, too, was of mid-1980s vintage. Yes, it was EVH-inspired and a bit of a "metal brand," but it perforrmed well and was a solid piece of wood that was with me through a number of fun and not-so-fun situations.

My first guitar was an early 80s Hondo Les Paul knockoff. It sounded and played great. Performed far better, I daresay, than many Rolex knockoffs out there.

Cheers to all -

HtK · 11 March 2010, 12:12 AM

Oh, and like my SS A-K, my Kramer was stolen.

kgglonghorn · 11 March 2010, 01:06 AM

My GMT and my Martin guitar are a match made in Heaven!

kg19989 · 11 March 2010, 01:12 PM

I guess I am just bottom of the barrel... My Datejust reminds me of my Ibanez acoustic.

Thanks Eric! Here's another. 1984 Gibson Les Paul with custom tremolo manufactured by Kahler with the Gibson stamp.

Should've had a 1016 to match my 70's Takamine 12-string...

Just sold my Les Paul Historic R8, and have another LP on eBay. I'm raising funds for 116710 and a midsize for the wifey. Still have a Martin and a Strat, though.

Daytonaboy1977 · 12 March 2010, 06:43 AM

Just got rid of this baby which is a 1988 first edition Clapton signature - to be replaced by a Daphne blue limited edition custom shop dlapton signature strat - both play like a dream!! The candy grenn one was immaculate and I was the first person to peel the pickguard cover off in 2009!!! I sold this example for nearly £1500 GBP!!

gmh1013 · 12 March 2010, 08:39 AM

Im green with envy over that Strat!

Mockingbird · 12 March 2010, 09:18 AM

Mmmmm mind posting a pic of that 50s Les Paul? I'm trying to get one from the 70s currently.
