Washburn HD-335.
Another one from Chris Thomas, who says “My Washburn HD 35 bought in 1990 with my student loan, main guitar in My Finest Hour (Reading Uk 1991-1993).”
The guitar stores in the UK would go bankrupt if it wasn’t for the Student Loans Company…
Rickenbacker 360.
Phil Radford sent in this beauty and tagged it with a line that will be overly familiar to us all - one of almost enough guitars.
It’s a disease that we have. A beautiful, wonderful disease.
1967 Goya 105 SAC.
Here’s a not-entirely-serious “Quick guide to guitars” for you all: if it’s got buttons where it should have dials, it was probably made in the 60’s and it was probably made in Italy. See enclosed 60’s Goya as evidence.
Eko/Melody 295.
Strangely reminiscent of a Rickenbacker, this beauty is labelled an Eko but is actually a Melody. The Italian manufacturer Melody had first appeared in 1961 but were owned by Eko from 1964 - 1972 and essentially just became a subsidiary, putting the Eko badge on what were previously their own guitars.
Washburn HB-35, Fender Telecaster, and Fender Blues Jr.
Sent in by Brandonak. The Blues Jr is looking a little shy but we’re sure it’s more than capable of meeting the demands of these particular beauties!
Hagstrom HL-550.
Jazz, blues, country; this beauty can handle them all magnificently. But, as ever with hollowbody’s, we just have this overwhelming urge to plug it into a Boss DS-1 and a Marshall Stack.
1969 Gretsch White Falcon.
A beautiful guitar and its rather distressed looking amp partner.

Fender Telecaster, Stratocaster and Reverb Deluxe Amp.
Here’s a lovely set up sent in by Sinisteraven, who says; “Fender really do make some of the most beautiful instruments. Here we have a Telecaster ‘72 Thinline just lounging against some amps with it’s buddy, the Power Stratocaster. Both guitars are pretty much stock with the exception of the Tele which has obviously had it’s pick guard changed to give it a more “classic” look to it. They really do also sound as good as they look!
Check out the Tele in the now deceased band, Shagrin:
