Modded Harley Benton ST-20BK My very first guitar that my dad bought for me in July 2022. It was a normal SSS Stratocaster until December of 2023 where I finally switched the pickups to humbuckers. Honestly, I wouldn't have bought an SSS Strat if I knew that the music I wanted to play had to be played with humbuckers... I mean, I wouldn't have known, to me all guitars were the same thing. It's funny, since it was originally black and white, I had planned on making it a replica of Rivers Cuomo's black strat, but when it came to buying the pickguard I bought a Tortoiseshell one instead of a Pearloid one. Now it's kind of it's own thing.
26/08/2025 Edit:
The pickguard has indeed been switched to a pearloid one, so we've come full circle.
16/10/2025 Edit:
The original pickups were put in the white Strat, and turns out the real reason they sounded bad was because my amp was shit. They're salvageable.

Partscaster My friend got this strat he had in his store for me on my birthday (delayed). It's got Custom Shop Fat '50s pickups and basically a custom shop pickguard and everything. I got it on the same day as the Jazzmaster, but before the Jazzmaster.
16/10/2025 Edit:
Had to sell the pickguard because I desperately needed money, so to not have a husk of a guitar lying in my house, I decided to put the pickguard from my Harley Benton in.
05/01/2026 Edit:
It's actually like, almost completely disassembled (it's ACTUALLY a husk now). I took the Allparts neck off to sell it because I wanted money (it hasn't sold, so if you want it, just ask me)
Stats:
  • Name: Genuinely can't think of one
  • 250k pots
  • Pickups: Ceramic Harley Benton pickups, previously Custom Shop Fat 50's
Fender Jazzmaster My "original" ultimate guitar. I put a down-payment on this guitar like last year and through some help from friends I got it for my birthday as well! It's a Player Series Jazzmaster in Sage Green Metallic finish. Probably no modifications.
Stats:
  • Name: Ashura (just like the Sonic 2 glitch)
  • 500k pots
  • Pickups: Player Series Alnico 2 Humbucking, apparently.
G&L Tribute Series JB To replace the P-Bass I had, I bought a Jazz Bass. It's a very beautiful Lake Placid Blue finish, with block inlays and... painted-on binding. *sighs*
I love this bass, it's very comfortable to play and the pickups are really good. I don't think I'll ever mod this bass, it's perfect as is. But I did add some white tape on the contour to make it look like racing stripes.
Stats:
  • Name: None
  • 250k pots
  • Pickups: Stock
Dunlop GCB95 Crybaby Wah This is the only pedal I actually use. I love the Crybaby. It's the best Wah. Fight me if you will
Gibson Les Paul Studio My ultimatest guitar. I bought it with the money I made from leaving my shitty McDonalds job and I took the train to go pick it up. Came with a Gibson USA case! It's actually the only guitar I bought myself. Hmm. Probably no modifications.
05/01/2026 Edit:
I took it upon myself to replace the pickup covers with new gold plated ones, so now it looks as good as new! Unfortunately, you can't see that in the photo. Yet.
Stats:
  • Name: Gibby (yes like the iCarly character)
  • Made in USA, 1993
  • 500k pots
  • Gibson 490R Humbucker
  • Gibson 498T Humbucker
  • This bad boy has been repaired twice
Gibson SG Standard A photo will be added later I went to a store last month to try out some guitars, and I kind of fell in love with the Gibson SG Faded Maestro. It's a badass guitar. Unfortunately, not only is it too expensive for me, but when I got paid and came back to buy it, someone had already bought it. So I got this instead. It's so cool to have a guitar with REAL binding. (Looking at you, Jazz Bass.)
This is kind of the backup to my Les Paul, but wow. The feel is completely different even though the scale is the same.
This is like my Strat's rival, they're both double cut, double humbucker black guitars
Stats:
  • Name: Spencer (yes like the iCarly character, do you see a theme?)
  • Made in USA, October 2003
  • 500k pots
  • Gibson 490R Humbucker
  • Gibson 498T Humbucker
  • Actually no repairs in its 20 years of existence. Pretty impressive.
    It's quite worn down everywhere else though.
Line6 Spider V30 MKII Borrowed this from a friend in the mean time I get a better one. I use this with the footswitch, I've made 4 presets (JCM Crunch, AC30 Clean, Phaser preset and a Bass preset that barely functions).
I've had it so long it's basically mine bro

Squier Affinity Telecaster I got this for myself on my 18th birthday in 2022, and sold it to upgrade my Strat later on in May of 2023. It didn't have too long of a run with me, but it is featured on some of my older covers. It had a pretty good tone, I probably would've been able to take advantage of this guitar much more nowadays if I still had it.
Stats:
  • 250k pots
  • Pickups: Stock
Squier Affinity Precision Bass Made the terrible decision of buying this thing. I love it. Everything about it is stock, except the electrical tape.
Sold it because pretty much I stopped loving it
Stats:
  • 250k pots
  • Pickups: Stock
Marshall MG10 My very first amp that I bought a week after getting my guitar. It was okay. I'd love to try out the others in the Marshall MG series, but my next amp will probably be probably a JCM900.
Update: it was not good at all, no gain channel, just shitty overdrive

Marshall JCM900 I know everyone's meatriding the JCM800 but this is my dream amp, I would KILL to get one honestly!
Preferably a combo, though. Amp heads are annoying.
Fender American Performer Telecaster Hum Aubergine I love the look, and neck humbuckers are underrated.
Unfortunately it doesn't have the Tele Custom control layout, but I guess I'll live.
05/01/2026 Edit:
I almost got this instead of my SG. In retrospect.. No, I don't regret it at all
Stats:
  • 250k pots
  • Neck Pickup: Double Tap Humbucker Pickup
  • Bridge Pickup: Yosemite Telecaster Pickup
Gibson Les Paul Custom 70's Wine Red This LITERALLY just came out and I can't believe Gibson released my dream guitar in big 2025. Same as the Tele, I love the color. Wine Red customs are the best, I'll fight anyone on that. This is a pipe dream guitar, but... my finances may allow me to get it soon. That, or I could still go buy that Tokai (pictured on the left) I saw in a local shop and the guy just had it right there hanging on the wall for the pretty nice price of 650 euros.
About the Tokai, I love the headstock inlay, looks like the fleur-de-lys, which I really like (EVEN THOUGH PEOPLE KEEP CALLING ME A FUCKING ROYALIST I'M NOT A FUCKING ROYALIST AAAAAAAAAAA)
Fun thing, now that I do have a Les Paul, I probably will wait a while 'til I get another guitar, but it's still on the list.I have completely fallen to the Gibson side though. I don't think I see myself buying a Fender any time soon.
05/01/2026 Edit:
I literally just bought an SG in the same week when I got my Les Paul repaired. So much for that. GAS never ends huh
