I have a Martin dreadnought, a Yamaha strat copy, & a Gretsch Electromatic Jet bass. Oh and a First Act LP Jr. copy with a Fender-style bridge (not a bad score at all for $20, it plays surprisingly nice). The rest are Gibsons though. I like Fender's amps but their 6-string guitars never really grabbed my nuts. If I had money I'd have a ton more non-Gibsons -- there are so many cool guitars out there.

I own nothing but U.S. made guitars/basses.

 

Okay, I lied.

I have a late 90's Danelectro 59 DC reissue made in Korea - but it cost almost nothing.

One import out of 20 guitars ain't too bad.

 

 

I'm primarily a Gibson guy (6), had a Martin D-35 for awhile.

 

I also own;

Fender - 4

Gretsch - 1

Guild - 2

Kustom - 1

Paul Reed Smith - 1

Peavey - 2

Rickenbacker - 1

 

 

 

 

 

In the past I've owned lotsa imported stuff;

Epiphone

Kramer

Ovation

Yamaha

and several no names - or names I've forgotten.

 

 

The Yamaha SBG that I had was badass.

The reason I sold it?

I made an absolute killing on it - more than doubled my money.

Shoulda kept it anyway.

If we're talking about country of origin, I've got four American, one Spanish, two Chinese, and one Korean.

 

And my mandolin... I think that one's Chinese too, but I forget.

 

The enxt one will likely be American, if I get the two I'm majorly considering, or Chinese if I get the close third-place.

 

Those choices are, for those interested, a bare-bones Gibson acoustic, an Engelhardt upright bass, or a Hofner Contemporary Violin bass.

I have (to the tune of "12 days of Christmas" if you like):

 

Hondo 12 string (Korea)

JB Player 6 string acoustic/electric (China)

Ibanez EW20 acoustic (Japan)

LTD F-104 bass (uh... don't care, sounds KILLER)

'07 LP Standard (USA)

'83 Elite Strat(USA)

American Mahogany Strat(USA)

Kentucky KM 630 mandolin (China)

and a mountain dulcimer made by Dolly Parton's Sister-in-law!

 

 

 

 

Pretty safe to say it isn't the brand name or point of origin that gets my business.... [biggrin]

There's too many out there I like and want to own to stick to one brand. I confess I have more Fender Instruments than any other. So far the count is:

 

Gibson: 1

Fender: 4

ESP/LTD: 2

Ibanez: 1 (used to be 2, sold one)

Jackson: 1

Kramer: 1

Goya: 1

Egmund: 1

Hamer: 1

Supertone: 1

unknowns: 2

 

I rarely know what my next purchase is going to be. Most likely another LTD for a project to turn it into an Iron Cross. I also plan of getting one of the builder kits from Carvin. Hopefully after the new year.
