My main non-Gretsches are all Fenders:
MIJ Fender 60ies Vintage Stratocaster (RW neck)
40th Fender Anniversary Stratocaster (MN)
MIM Fender Baja Telecaster

Back in the 80ies I liked Gibsons better than Fenders. After I got my first Strat in 1991, I didnīt play anything else for more than ten years. Now itīs almost alike with the Gretsches, I pick up the Fenders only once in a while.

I got Strat's & Tele's, a old Hofner (don't know the Year on that), a PRS Mira, a '89 Charvel and a '65 Mustang,..............but:

Since i got my 6120 and my Silver Jet, i don't like to play anything else, but another Gretsch.

I played my Tele yesterday. After a few minutes i went back to my 6120, because i missed something.

My Gretsches include
Stock 5124
5129 with TV Classics
5120 with GFS Surf 90s
2910 Double Jet with Filters (MY clone)
2 Americanas

The only other guitar that really gets much time is my Gibson SG Special with GFS Mean 90s

I play my Squier Affinity Butterscotch tele a lot around the house though too.

Others that don't get much play time, but I can't sell for various reasons are:
Squier Strat
Cheapo flying V (Rhodes style)
Kapa Continental (my first, great guitar, but needs some work)
Peavey P bass
Kramer P bass
Ibanez acoustic

Since the questions was "What other guitars do your play besides gretsch" doesnt mean to list every guitar that I own but rather what I actually play,record and perform with..

right???

my 91' american stratocaster, although only the wood of the instrument and its frets are still OEM. and my knotty jones pineycastard of course.

haha. From what I have gathered from the pictures I have seen, your 'other' guitars is more like a stores inventory list. Isn't it?

One of the Martins, usually the slot-head, is always out... Right now on the 2 stands- Duo Jet and Martin CS 000-15SLH.

LH= left handed.

Non-Gretschers-

G&L Bluesboy LH
Martin 000-15LH
Martin CS 000-15SLH
Gibson CS-336PLH
Pancrat-O-Caster LH (my Tele Thinline/G&L Bluesboy build with Harmonic Design pups)
Fender MIM LH Strat (with Harmonic Design pups)

I keep a G&L ASAT Tribute Semi-Hollow, a righty, for when you come over to strum...

hmmm... besides my Gretsches, eh? There's not much else.

An early 90s Samick crossover between a strat and an LP of which the model type designation is long forgotten.

A 1979 Hagstrom BJ12 12-string acoustic that is missing its pickguard.

And a 20-something 'Motion' that completely lacks overall quality.

And ofcourse my 1990 13-course Baroque lute built by Sebastian Nunez. But that one hasn't seen a lot of action the past decade.



(the acoustic in there is my Aria that I started with at age 7. Still have it, but it's in storage)
