Humbucker Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Having given this topic some thought, it's time to declare my favourite guitar. This is my Gibson ES335TDC - cherry red with dot inlays. Of the 10 instruments I currently own (and amongst the 30 or so guitars that have passed through my hands over the years) it is by far and above the best. The intonation is spot-on, so it plays (and stays) in tune, and it sounds better than all the newer (1968 onwards) Les Pauls I've played. The guitar is now 20 years old, and come hell-or-high-water I will never sell it. RB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dewdad Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Electric- Playability: Strat (American) Sound: Gibson ES335 Acoustic- Overall: Martin D28 ****** Also own an old Yamaha CW350 that sounds as good as any Martin but doesn't play as well. Probably the best lower end guitar. (maybe only this particular guitar, never ran across another) Elec./Acou. : Still go w/ Martin. Also Taylor and high end Ovations. Hybrid: Taylor T5 Koa top.

audioservant Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I feel very comfortable with a Gibson SG (got the "Special Faded" Version" and also a Stratocaster Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pb Derigable Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Arms of Atlas i believe bought a Gibson Custom Les Paul SilverBurst a year ago and that is the best looking guitar I ever saw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Them On Back Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Eddie Van Halen's "Frankentstrat" And the shiny silver looking bass guitar that John Paul Jones is using in a picture ive seen of them, I think it's a Fender, similar shape to a strat. i dunno what it sounds like but it looks brilliant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danelectro59 Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 For playability Fender Strat, for sound the Les Paul and for looks most Ibanez guitars floats my boat. True. My guitarist picked up an Ibanez JEM Steve Vai chrome model about a month ago and that's one fine guitar. One of the sharpest i've ever had the privilege to play. Sounds absolutely awesome through a Marshall stack. Another one that doesn't get much mention but can be monster sounding is a Flying V. A lot of cats don't like the way they feel, but i've always had a soft spot for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kashmir96 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 it between a gibson les paul cherry sunburst or a sg 62-reissue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justwastintime03 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I'm very happy with my three acoustic guitars. I've two Spanish classicals--a Yamaha and a Dean and one steel string--also a Dean. Yet, wouldn't mind, one day purchasing a Gibson sunburst, when I can afford one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electrophile Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 David Gilmour's Black Strat. Sexiest piece of wood and metal ever assembled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spookytooth Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 The Les Paul is a great instrument but is bit of a one trick pony... For anything from buttery clean to nasty crunch and feedback, my Thinline Tele cannot be beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoso94T Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Fender telecaster!!!(mostly because of Keith Richards and Pagey)The tones you can get from them are unbelievable!!! The Les paul is my No2 favourite by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
