That's sweet TJ.
I've not played one of those yet, love the cream color.

Before football this one went on the bench and then put thru it's paces for quite a while

 

[Jynx]

Well not right, right now. I'm obviously on my phone talking to you lot. But it's this. It's almost always this.

T5z guitars are very nice. Sort of electro acoustic middle ground in both tone and playability. This one is a bit more actually bright white in color than shows in the pics.

Dude I’ve been waffling around between getting a T5z or Acoustasonic to get my acoustic game right. How do you like the T5?

The T5z has been a favorite of mine since day one (5 years now). I’ve used it on countless recordings. Very easy playing instrument. Only negative I can think of is it can be susceptible to neck dive because the body is very lightweight.

I wouldn’t call the T5z much like an acoustic. It’s more of a hybrid. The tone is a cross between acoustic and hollow body electric.

I’ve been dialing in a 62 tele inspired partscaster I threw together last year. It’s coming along, needs a fret dress.

I love that tele color.

Im playing this as I am taking this to Portugal gig and trying to get used to it.

Im too scared to take my “precious” Jackson Vs…

If this gets damaged or lost I wont care at all.

This is getting some time lately. My personal nostalgia trip.

I love that tele color.

Thanks! FWIW it’s nothing fancy - one of the cheap GFS XGP bodies. It required a little finessing but overall it’s hard to complain for the price. It is a bit heavy though so will likely get replaced with something lightweight from MJT.

Here's to more guitars!

This one's a heavy f**ker, it has some serious thump and eats stock Gibsons for breakfast.

2010 Ibanez AR250
modded with a pair of modern DiMarzio DP104 and plastic covers
completely gutted and rewired to meet Ovation GP spec
wraparound bridge by ABR (if I recall correctly)
brass knobs
12/54, tuned to C Standard

A quirky beast. Some days I hate that hollowbody sound and "feel", some days it's fun.
Definietely not selling, because it's a gem after all.
Kinda clunky and wacky, like it came from a garage sale, but very unique voice and a round but comfortable neck.

2007 Yamaha SA503 (Troy Van Leeuwen signature, built 2005-2007)

12/54, C Standard

Wow, that's a great design IMO. Pretty interesting but defenitely working F-hole interpretation (at least I like it, sort of a crossbreed between Art Deco and Bauhaus, if that even remotely makes sense, which it likely doesn't...). Middle pickup would annoy me like mad, but otherwise that's quite a looker. We need to talk about your B string wrapping technique, though...
