Ceriatone Forum

Well, hopefully it's alright to talk about this in here.

I see you lot have posted all your Ceriatone's, but just wondering what else you use with your Ceriatone. (or other amps, etc.)

For me, my main setup is currently...

guitars:

-gibson LP studio (I hate this guitar - it plays and sounds awful, but I don't want something happening to prized guitar, which is my black gibson LP standard).
-carvin TL60 (I got this customized to my specs). used for drop tunings...mainly drop D.
-Fender USA stratocaster (tuned down half a step)
-Peavey wolfgang USA special (standard tuning, used for vibrato abuse..soon to be replaced with a peavey HP USA of some sort).
-duct tape strat. started out as a sunburst mexican strat. neck snapped off, replaced..put in a single humbucker, covered with duct tape, etc. seems indestructible now.

pedals:

dunlop chrome 535Q wah pedal

amps:

this is where I'm not sure. I don't really have a main amp, but I probably use my marshall 6100LM the most (mainly because it has so many sounds available). the ceriatones are used quite a lot as well, obviously - because of the tone ;D


pics of those and the rest of my gear are in my signature.

Here a few pics of favorite stuff...

My Warmoth Teles...

My ride ;D

Poipounder,

I'd like to hear your thoughts on the Warmoth teles.  I have a couple of teles and since I play a lot of country I really want to love them but alas every tele neck I have ever played just doesn't jive with me.  American, Japanese, it doesn't seem to matter.  I love the tone but I always feel like I'm in a battle with the guitar.  I pick up one of my strats after and it's like ....ah,, that's better.  How are your Warmoth necks? 

that blue flame tele is gorgeous.

nice ride too ;)

Forgot to mention.....Nice gear and a really sweet looking ride.  I used to dabble (long ago) in custom airbrush work so I can appreciate fine bike art.  I would love to see a few close ups.  One of these days I want to do an airbrushed amp head....true flames on black....Lavalle style.

Thanks!!!  I gave her a make over last year...I changed a few parts to give her a new look.  She used to be a Heritage Softail.  I also added a few performance parts 45 Weber, cam etc.  She's a pretty and fast ;D
My Tele's all have the tummy and forearm contours...they feel like a Strat and look like a Tele.  That could be one of the reasons they don't jive with you.  Telecasters do feel kinda square and bulky.
You can also custom order a neck from Warmoth...they have several neck sizes to choose from.  My experiences with Warmoth have been all good.
Ah...my blue flamed Tele, my latest build.  The body is chambered and loaded with a set of WCR's Goodwoods.  She also has a Strat tremolo bridge...she's sweet ;D 
 

Is warmoth really good as they say ? In what rank of quality would you put wamoth built guitar ?

Thanks

I'd rate them to a little higher than the standard production models.  The higher end stuff does feel really good, and plays like a dream.  It's like comparing a Honda Accord with a BMW. 
The great thing about building a Warmoth special is that you can customize it to what you want in a guitar.  Fret size, nut type, type of wood, type of pups, etc.  The fun is tweaking it to your personal preference.  The end results is a axe that feels and sounds good in your hands.   
On the resale side you're going to lose a few $$$'s.  The bodies I purchased from Warmoth.  Necks on Ebay...that's where I saved a few $$$'s!!!

I just finished this cab for the D'Lite.  Logo plate is just a test as the good ones are being made now.  Great amp.

wow, I don't belong on this forum.  I also have a VOX AC15HWTV1, another custom-bult 15 watt el84 amp, a 1965 6151 gretsch, an EJ strat, a japanese tele, and a few squier teles that I've hotrodded.  Total cost isn't that high, but they all suit my needs.  I love guitar, and I love the tones I'm getting with my Ceriatone.

LOL!! Everyone belongs in this forum :) Haha - I also have very limited stuff :)

sure is....

how many houses do you have?

;)

I removed my list-took up too much space.
So does my stuff. Lucky I live alone or the wife would have to go

Here´s a pic of my current guitars... taken in crappy light conditions:

Well, I haven´t got any Ceriatone......... yet. I am waiting for a Bandmaster , that will be fitted in a 3x10 lacquered Tweed combo......

that´ll be nice.

For the moment I only have a Marshall 1987 with a 4x12 1960A. This gear I do not like....... I am too much a "Fenderman".  The Marshall will have to go, as soon as my ordered VOX AC30CC2X shows up.

I have three good Strats, one American Vintage 57, Fieastared, one Eric Johnson signature and one
Classic 60´s from Mexico 3c-sunburst. They are all different both to play , but also soundwise.

I consider it being a perfact match !

All good things are three !

Here is two pictures of my Telecaster project that I just finished, started over 5 years ago with a beaten up Squier Affinity that I wanted to look like a Custom -72 Tele.  Only the pick guard remains now. Swamp ash body (painted in nitro laquer by myself), neck from Hosokawa (japan), pickups from GFS.  Here it is together with my Ceriatone (of course) Tweed Deluxe.
