Thundergod Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 The one i use most is my Gibson Les Paul Standard Faded in Honey burst... really good guitar for any style. Second, my modded epi... i used to give her very little atention, but since i refineshed her and set her up again... shes playing nice and sounding good (emg actives... i use her specially for too heavy passages). 3rd... well it could be either a dearmond m75t (solid bodied, single coil loaded, bigsbied, pre fender, blue sparkle beauty) or a epi g-400 that i have till i get my gibson sg in natural burst... or any of the others as the one im using 90% of the time i play is my gibby... give a 9% to my epi... thats why im selling the others... sold 2 last week... damn i suddenly find myself with guitar money once again (GAS building up)... guess that sg and tele are comming in sooner than i espected!. The only thing keeping me from buying any other guitars is the fact that i think my standard faded is the perfect guitar, you know... THE ONE.

P90Pete Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Right now I'm playing lead in a band with two guitarist with humbuckers (a LP Standard & Tele Deluxe) so to cut through that I'm playing my two single coil guitars more. They all get a lot of attention. Anyway, it goes like this: 1. 67 SG Special Reissue w/P-90’s 2. 93 G&L Legacy (strat) 3. LP Standard Faded - Tobacco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Pup Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I tend change my guitar when ever the mood hits me, sometimes I'll play all of them in one evening. An hour on this one an hour on that one. My V and J-45 don't go out of the house so the SG and Songwriter Deluxe are the only guitars that travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
This one goes to 11 Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Thanks to having to move from the UK back to South Africa, my only real choice is my preciousss - 2000 Les Paul Classic. A non-playing friend lent me a Washburn Maverick (HSS) which sits on the sidelines as an "in case of emergency..." instrument. Currently sizing up a few new geets, narrowing the choice down for the next aquisition -Les Paul Classic Custom (with '57s), Epiphone Elitist ES335, Fender USA Strat or Highway 1 Texas Tele. I just missed a '65 Sheraton a friend had which he sold before I knew him well (in great nick) for about $285. He's still got a very customized 70s SG (maple cap added etc.) which I'm nudging him on, as he doesn't play guitar anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingarmadillo Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 I play all of 'em at least 10 minutes a day and then stay with whatever I feel like playing. Right now it's the old Guild acoustic that the GF has had in her closet since her first ex left it there 20 years ago or so. She wants to learn to play it so maybe I lucked out with this GF, I'm thinking about picking up maybe a Melody Maker or LP Junior for her, just so her fingers won't get so beat up the first couple of weeks. The Guild is strung with lights, but lights on an acoustic are 10's so an electric with 9's would be easier. Playing wise right now, after the Guild, it's the SG bass and probably the telecaster. Haven't really had a desire to put much time on the LP lately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoConMan Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Jeez, mine get dusty and I feel guilty. Not enough time in the day. I switch between pickups more than anything. I LOVE P-90's! I'll lean single coil for awhile, then more humbucker. Just depends on the mood. Cranked up my Marshall JCM 800 last night for the first time in months, it was ALL Les Pauls for a couple hours. The missus had to straighten up all the pictures in the house afterwards. My ears are still ringing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Plains Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I play this guitar more than any other. 06 DB Standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pickypicky Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 My #1 is a 78 LP Standard. Then I start busting strings. #2 is an 05 ES 335. I bust another string. #3 is an 88 Lucille. Then in any order, 90 Explorer, 80 V, 05 Firebird VII, 61 SG/LP Custom (mostly retired-too valueable), 60 ES 330. and then I've run out of Gibsons. There are others I'm liking a lot. 98 Dan Armstrong Lucite, 07 Esquire, any of my 6 Strats. My 78 Ric 330 gets played a lot unplugged as does my 60 ES 330. There's more but, this is a Gibson Forum so I won't bore you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChanMan Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I play this guitar more than any other. 06 DB Standard. Beautiful guitar sir! I can see why you play it the most.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Martin Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I don't have that many axes to choose from like many of you, but I mostly reach for my LP especially if I'm playing amplified. SG often gets played unplugged, as I use her amplified in different scenarios when it calls for a cleaner sound. I love my Explorer, but she only comes out for gigs or photoshoots.
