Your coolest "non-Gibson" guitar?

[jimmiJAMM]

My 1965 Harmony Rocket H59 aka Rocketman

 

[DeVeeWee]

Coolest (but not the best playable of all) is my Gretsch 6131 TDS

 

[Twiz]

I guess it's a non-Gibson. I love my Epiphone EL-00. I don't own any non Gibby electrics...

 

 

*Edit* PS DeVeeWee it's good to see you back!

[MojoRedFoot]

First define cool Then I'll pick one.

Toss up...I think these are my coolest guitars:

 

I get stopped a lot for this one:

 

This is cool if you are a Metallica fan:

Please ignore the Gibson since it does not apply to the thread.

My 57 RI Strat. Love this guitar!

Fender Mahogany Special Strat

 

 

 

or Maybe the '83 Elite Strat:

 

 

 

But some have said it is the Ibanez:

ksdaddy, that is awesome. Is that like an external jack or something on there? Very cool.

My two "coolest" are "coolest" because I didn't have access to anywhere close enough to go guitar shopping and there was a "ma and pa" music store where I lived that was pretty decent to work with.

 

So...

 

A purchased-new Ibanez mid 1970s the real thing "patent infringement" es175 clone (except for the obvious Ibanez brand stuff on it - they didn't mess with that obvious illegality) and a Guild SG copy, same store, about a year prior - it has the carved acorns and oak leaves and a marvelous neck.

 

But note that they were as close to Gibsons as I had access to...

It has a 4 pin output jack and I didn't want to change it. Looks something like a DIN jack. I made a short adaptor cord and soldered it onto a bracket that goes on the tailpiece.

That thing's WAY frickin' cool! Does she have a name?

Nah. Not one to name them I guess. It amazes everyone that plays it though; it plays like an old Jaguar and sounds more like an old Gretsch than an old Gretsch does.

 

Did you click on the link? There's more pics.

Any of my PRS.

[Kolera]

 

 

I'd take one of those in a heartbeat.

My "pointy" guitar

[FirstMeasure]

This is my '88 Strat. It was my first real electric, making it cool.

 

It's a FSR for Guitar Center, so it's a standard that has this Kahler Spyder (Floyd Rose Lic.) tremolo, whick makes it cool.

 

It has Earthquake Damage from the Big Bear/Landers Quakes of 1992, lending it some Mother Nature Cool.

 

Now it has a Trio of Blue/Silver/Red Lace Sensor Pickups, giving it some Hot Rod Mod Cool.

For the "Odd" category, I'm submitting my Reverend Slingshot.

 

[KL]

My 1965 Fender Electric XII maybe?

[daveinspain]

Has to be my Alhambra, hand painted acoustic. Looks like it's wrapped in paper and tied up with twine but it's not...
