Put this together over the past few years because I hated lugging amps around (estradiol reduces your muscle tone quite a bit), so when playing out it’s just Guitar+Board+Cab, and a cable for each. Only changes incoming are that a Reddit acquaintance is building me a custom Life Pedal w/ some different options, and that I wanna replace the Phase with a OBNE Dweller at some point.

The Tele is an early 00’s Mexi that I stole from a venue when I was 18 (it was used as an exterior door handle - this thing has been through Literal Hurricanes once or twice a year and the wood/electronics have always worked). Pickups are insanely hot in this, so with the scale length I’ve started to keep it tuned to C# Standard or thereabouts. More or less taught myself everything I know on this guitar, though it wasn’t my first. Amazing workhorse, sounds good on everything, one of my best friends.
The JMJM is a special one - I was gonna built a Partsmaster for my 25th birthday, and when researching components I came across this on Reverb, with the exact configuration I wanted, in painted my fav shade of blue, and for sale under the budget I had. It’s taken me a long time to get used to, since the Tele was my main for 6 years and they feel so different, but we’re getting along very nicely now that I have it strung with 11s. Neck is an AVRI JM pickup, and the bridge is a Novak Telemaster, with the center position wired out of phase like on a Tele. I also have the rhythm circuit wired so that the middle and bridge positions are active there, so there’s an insane range of sounds in this from just swapping between those alone. My only gripe with this guitar is that the volume pot isn’t linear (previous owner used this to play like, actual Jazz), but I’ve been too lazy to swap it.
Pretty much the only other guitars I can see myself wanting are one of the reissue Starcasters (humbuckers in a hollowbody with a Fender neck? Unf), and the Reverend Jenn Wasner Signature, which is my holy grail guitar. If you can’t tell from the sticker on the JM, I’m a huge Wye Oak fan, and that guitar is like someone went into my brain and just crafted the ideal instrument.
