Thundergod Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 There must be one you use more! Or not? I have 13 right now but only use 1 90% of the time[biggrin] (and still I'm thinking about buying a couple more guitars wtf ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pohatu771 Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 There must be one you use more! Or not? I have 13 right now but only use 1 90% of the time[biggrin] (and still I'm thinking about buying a couple more guitars wtf ) That's what I was just thinking... I have eight guitars (not counting the classical, which serves an entirely different purpose), but I only use three for the most part. The others come into use when the first three aren't doing what I want - or are out of service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockman82 Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 My go-to guitar is usually my Epiphone SG, but it doesn't have strings, and i'm waiting for my new wraparound bridge to be delivered, so i'm playing my strat right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketman Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 I go to say the ES-339 because it's very versatile. But at the rate I'm playing my PRS I think that may take it over (I'll see what's the honeymoon period is over). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAS44 Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Right now it's my strat, but I'm not including the fact that she's new... I really couldnt pic between the LP and the Strat... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therookie_123 Posted July 11, 2010 Author Share Posted July 11, 2010 I agree with L5Larry on "the ES being the most versatile guitar". Straight out of the box, an ES 345/355 guitar with a Varitone can achieve basically everyting from a Strat/ Tele to the beloved Les Paul. With all my upgrades on my ES 335, its a monster. Looking to get a ES 355 Stereo with 3 Pickups complete with Bigsby and the push pull knobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MojoRedFoot Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 My 1989 Strat Plus is my all purpose guitar. For me, it is perfect for EVERY style of playing. This one is a close second: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might spend 2-3 years looking for 1 guitar. But because I tour, and play gigs every weekend I constantly switch out my guitars. I guess you could say my 1958 Les Paul Junior is my go-to guitar. I wouldn't dare gig my Les Paul Junior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S t e v e Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 this is my "go to" and handles all styles perfectly... oh yea, i mainly play blues/rock but have been known to drop tune and "let rip" once in a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duane v Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 The Epi JL REV..... If this guitar had better upper fret access, I probably wouldn't play any of my other guitars. My uncle and I doing Dear Prudence this past 4th of July Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichCI Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 I really, really, really, really want a white Strat with a maple neck. "One of these days," I'm going to buy a second '57 RI like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote'] I added Locking Grover tuners to the Les Paul about a year ago. Very nice upgrade. Also replaced the pots and put in a couple of Bumble Bee caps that I pulled from an old radio. Bridge pick up is a custom wound alnico II. Neck is burstbucker pro. Aside from caps and bridge pup, the Stratocaster is pretty much stock.

LPguitarman Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 The only one I've got, my beautiful Les Paul Classic Antique Reverse Fireburst (see avatar). I play classic rock (70's era) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Witmer Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 The Les Paul in my avatar. <--------------- By default, since it's my only electric. But it's the only one I need - I've had lots of 'wants' since I got it, but never yet could justify another purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewddawg1 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Right now my go to guitar is my Epi Prophecy SG GX but that is subject to change every time my mood swings. It swings fairly often LOL. Rewd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tman Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 My 87 Strat for most songs. Les Paul Classic for everything Humbucker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tman5293 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 My Go-To guitar is definitely my ebony SG Special. That guitar does everything from jazz to metal, blues/classic rock to classical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlwwalker Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I am still enthralled by my new 2009 Gibson ES-335 Satin Black. I've had it since March of this year. I get great joy playing it unplugged, with Behringer V-Amp II & headphones, or weekly at a buddy's house with Fender amp. Getting dusty are my Washburn 30 year old accoustic, Ibanez AF75, Ovation Celebrity, and the precurser to the ES-335, an Ibanez AS73. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canon_mutant Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Always my first choice. Does EVERYTHING well and it ain't just eye candy. Plus that KOA over Mahogany just produces a very unique sound and the tung oiled neck with LP Access type heel is just butter. Desperately needs a sunlight pic. The R9 is a very close second when I am in the mood to snarl. Just doesn't do clean and blues quite as good as the Carvin IMO of course. The Strat is a very close second when I am in the mood for Gilmour or Clapton. So, you see how it gets more specific [for me at least] as I go down the list? Not etched in stone mind you, but as a general rule . . . I'll reach for the CS6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
