MrNylon Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 A tie between the LP and the SG. I do lean toward the SG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcmurray Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Wow that ibanez is beautiful. And is that a buckethead les paul? Yep. All I need now is a 7 string and I've got all bases covered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdaddy Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Leo got it right in 1950. It was 'utility first' and cosmetics a distant second but in my opinion it's simplicity has a grace and timeless beauty that has never been equaled, let alone improved on.

Andre S Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Between a Les Paul, 335 or PRS Santana model or Custom 24. Les Paul is way ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidl Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 I amy be a little biased but I think its this one. Starting to get into other models but I think the LP will always be my favorite looking. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Versatile Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 So many to choose from Firebird, Telecaster, ES175, ES335, L5, Gretsch DuoJet V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrNylon Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Is that because u genuinely love them or because you own one? I always liked the sound of both. I had an SG Jr. years ago and thought it was great. In a bass I obviously like the SG style body. Also performed with a lot of lead players over the years using both.

Silenced Fred Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Either a 335 or a Firebird. They just look classy I would like to say Gretsch White Falcon, but I hate the headstock on it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrNylon Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 No, i don't have any video capabilities. Thanks though, I was lucky to get the SG Std. bass I was sent. It sounded great through Mesa gear. But I like it's sound through the Marshall better. Personal preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milod Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Purely on looks? The ES175. It's a synthesis of acoustic and electric appearance and size that pretty much became a standard and - look at one and then at your LP and consider the LP is kinda a smaller board-version of the 175. In 51 Gibson made a Florentine cutaway flattop with a built in pickup that was awesome. A friend still regularly plays his "out" when he leaves the ranch in "nowhere" country. Play it as an A-E and it's awesome. I love the look of all the good Gibson electric archtops and those that copy the concept. So... in #2 I'd probably say the 335 or one of the fancied-up versions. But the simplicity of the 335 as opposed to more fancy stuff is something I find attractive. Nothing against the Tele, and has been noted, one's aesthetic is purely subjective and comes from background and training. But I consider it kinda like the old WWII Jeep that's still rolling in today's world with some updates and variations. It's not what I'd call pretty, but it is attractive in its own unique way. Strats never appealed to me. Gretsch and Guild in the old days always seemed to be branches off the Gibson tree. The SG, with the set neck as opposed to a bolt-on, has a beauty of simplicity that I find very attractive. The "horns" essentially are dual Florentine cutaways with an idealized "traditional guitar" shape. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
