Parabar Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 My Gretsch 5120 and Samick Artist Series SAT-650 both get a lot more playing time than I expected either to get, and I like 'em both more the more I play 'em. But my Broadway and Joe Pass ain't goin' nowhere either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cos Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 For me it's my no name, half sized, fret worn, cat gnawed on, left out in the rain, head stock broken, glued back together, POS guitar I tried to give to my son when he was 5 years old so he would leave my stuff alone. Just kidding. Though it does have a nice sound to it. It's got to be my Dot. I bought it while in a nostalgic mood, but it quickly became my everyday player.

JefferySmith Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 That's a tough one because my tastes haven't changed much. But the underdog that made it up high is the Byrdland. When I was a teenager, that was a old fart guitar to me. Now it fits my aged body and ears and hands. What a beautiful and easy to play instrument.

Ricochet Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 My 2004 Unsung Epiphone Les Paul. I bought it to resurrect my playing after a few years off. I expected it be adequate(for a cheap LP-clone), but it's brilliant. Bought a couple guitars after that, including 2 Gibsons but keep going back to the Epi...

matiac Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Besides the Blue one, I've taken a shining to the Stratocaster (Squier Standard HSS) I grabbed recently. Just something about that guitar...weird when you consider I was never much of a strat guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this Chinese thing doesn't work out, I'd be happy to see Epiphone make up with the Korean Unsung factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changed the pickguard, for a multi-layered one, the TRC to a '59, and the tuners to Grover's. The tuner change wasn't really needed, but I'm glad I did for several reasons. I like the added weight/mass at the headstock, as it tends to add to the sustain, seemingly anyway. And, of course, Grovers are great tuners..and they look nice, too.

midiman56 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 +1 for the Gretsch 5120. It's an amazingly versatile instrument both plugged asnd unplugged. So far I haven't changed anything but the pickguard (they've since stopped shipping it with that clear thing), but drop a couple of hundred for new pick-ups and a new bridge, and you have a guitar equal to one of Gretsch's pro lines. It has a great vibe to it and it looks "good" on me as I am a big guy! The other would have to be my Fender '72 Thinline RI. This is one of the nicest playing/sounding guitars I have ever held in my hands. It has tele 'twang", but with a mellow jazzy-ness that you just don't expect from a Fender.

TWANG Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 My sheraton. I didn't even want an electric at the time. and had never owned an epi or a semi hollow.. Now, I wouldn't part with it. TWANG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumblinman Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 My Squier 51.. I dropped a GFS Crunchy Rails in the bridge to coil tap and a Lil Killer in the neck. It's got great warm jazzy tone on the neck and arse whooping bite on the bridge in SC or HB mode. I bought it to mess around with, and now my Epi sits alone a little more...

sexygibson Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 For me it would have to be the Elitist SG. I was never an SG fan but picked up the Elitist when MF was blowing them out. Right away I took to its light weight and upper fret access. I'll always be a Les Paul guy but the Elitist made me a believer in SGs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy1281734003 Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 For me it would have to be my Am. Deluxe ash Tele. Never thought about a tele, I was always a Les Paul guy until a little voice in my head told me over and over to get a Tele. I dont play much else these days and I got it before the price increase, I'm glad I took the plunge when I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
