[GuitaristZ]

I play a hammguitar because I am better at guitar than any of you....lol

[auger]

I play a fender...fat strat texas special.....because I like the tones i get

Auger

[Rumble_b]

I play a les paul cause it's the shit!!! And I love the sound and feel. My Hamm has taken the #2 spot from my Hammer.

[violation]

My step dad's cracked mirror Ibanez Iceman II (old school from the 80's... was originally blue) because it's sexy, has great action, and those EMGs turn it into an all out metal machine.

A close second would be my latest buy, Ibanez RG350EX... I slapped a spare Dimarzio Super Distortion I had laying around in there and now it sounds good (atleast, until I put a D-Sonic or X2N into the bridge, then it will sound amazing, haha).

[PaulS]

Lately it's my Tokai Love Rock Custom. Bought it from JSD's and have been loving it ever since, feels like the real thing....

[bobb]

NJAMS custom with a Tokai Love Rock as the backup.

[Schluppy]

I play a Fender Telecaster Plus Deluxe because it fit me perfectly when I went through my "effects are for sissies, just plug me in" phase and now that I've grown up a bit and ceased the moratorium on effects it still fits me perfectly.

/me pets my tele lovingly

[JSD's Guitar Shack]

Lately I've been playing my Dillion korina V because it just feel right, I pulled or pinched something in my neck recently and the V is nice and light, but the Tokai Love Rock get played almost as much.

[Paul]

Byrdaland because I like the shorter scale.

[jcon]

My Tokai Love Rock has taken a backseat to my Eastwood Ultra GP. The GP is just so comfortable to play.

Would love to see some pix of that axe. I've got an IC350 from '96 (black with Floyd Rose)

Cheers,
Joe

[hoser]

my main is a beaten 89 MIJ tele w/ an sd lil 59er in the bridge.

I play it because it fits me in all ways.

[jcayer]

I play a lefthanded Godin Exit-22 because I'm lefthanded... :tongue: And in a near future I'll be playing a lefthanded Fender Telecaster (because I'm lefthanded)


Did I mention I'm lefthanded :wave:

:rockon2:

[KTownPete]

I play A ... lot of really bad notes ... because ... I am a terrible musician. :D

[danbo]

My main axe is an Epiphone Les Paul Standard in Amber Burst. It's just about perfect in action & sound for the southern rock/blues/slide that I play. :DevilGuitar:

My #2 is a Squier Vintage Stratocaster MIK with a maple fretboard & SSH !
It is a great sounding/playing guitar with lotsa "quackiness" that I like.:banana:

Let there be ROCK!!!!:wave:

[ne1roc]

all six of my guitars equally because I love them all!

Ask and you shall receive!

All our Ibanez guitars (all mine but the Iceman II, lol). That pic is from a few weeks ago when I first got the RG... the ol' LP and Iceman II could use a cleaning, as you can see, lol. Still working on replacing the LP's hardware too... I always seem to find something else to buy when I've got the cash to replace it. Oh well, atleast I've got the main ones I needed (tuners and bridge pickup).

Any pics of the IC350?

[jcon]

Cool trio! Thanks for the pic.

Here's the only I shot I have of my Iceman (sitting next to an EX series from the early 90s - Gibson ES137 on the far left).

First time I've ever seen a Floyd on an Iceman... looks awesome. The other one looks very RG550-ish, very cool stuff.

[Ti-Ron]

I play a Parker P-44 'cause I love the Parker's look without the budget to buy the real thing. I love the possibility of the pu/piezo! The only bad thing is the quality of the both pick ups so I'm waiting for the summer job to afford a new set of those Saymour Duncan's Jazz and '59 humbucker!

[Michelle]

...............

Did I mention I'm lefthanded :wave:

:rockon2:

Never would have guessed. :tongue:

I play a Schecter Stiletto Deluxe-5 because it was all I could get/afford left-handed and it is an awesome bass anyway. If I needed another 5-speed, it would be a Schecter or ESP, or if I was rich, a l-h Ric 4004Cii/5 in JetGlow of course.

[maybeyes]

My main axe right now is my Washburn N2 because it plays real nice with a fast neck and the licensed floyd:rockon2:

My second axe is my Ibanez Destroyer which has an X2N and sounds incredible.
:DevilGuitar:

[Robert1950]

I play a gazoo through an Orange 200w double stack.

:tongue: :tongue: :tongue:

[GuitaristZ]

hahaha...that would be sick.

[fraser]

hi
i play a strat- all my spares are strats too-
because i can keep swapping the parts around to maintain my favourites, they are durable,they are plentiful, and everything else feels funny to me after so long

[dwagar]

My main is Gibson, probably because that's what I grew up on, that's where I'm the most comfortable, for tone, playability, etc. Usually my R9 Les Paul, but sometimes I cycle a different Gibson into the #1 spot.

My #2 is my Strat. Some stuff just sounds better on a Strat I think.

[Coustfan'01]

I play a ibanez sz520 , because it's my first guitar and I like how it sounds . Still haven't found a guitar that will take its spot .

[Mooh]

A chance Roy Buchanan concert in 1974 reformed my thinking from Les Paul to Telecaster, so I've preferred Teles ever since. Many of my favourite players and recordings are Tele dominated too, Buchanan, early Jeff Beck, early Page, Gatton. Strats are second in my heart, followed by Dot/335s and general purpose axes (like my Godin LG with humbuckers with coil taps).

I prefer one volume control (my Dot is so wired), rosewood or ebony fingerboards, and single coil pickups.

Leo Fender really did get the basic electric guitar right, and though I would qualify as a guitar ****, I keep coming back to Teles.

Peace, Mooh.

[Gtrminator]

I play all of 'em!:rockon2:

[Robert1950]

I play a Hamer P90 Special and a MIJ Epi Riviera because I got a deal on them

[david henman]

...i have one of those! a '96 sunburst. i took the gold lace sensor pickups out and replaced them with john suhr pickups.

great guitar!

i play mine because i am in desparate need of female companionship.

[Steve P]

I play an '06 Yamaha Pacifica 112 (Japanese fat strat).

Metallic red finish (cheesy but fun!), alder body, rosewood fretboard, hss configuration, whammy bar.

I bought it as my first guitar -- no regrets!

I thought it was versatile (I like a broad range of musical styles) and relatively good quality for the cash I was willing to spend on my first guitar. I'm still happy with my choice, although it has whetted my appetite for higher-end guitars ...

[jimmy peters]

i should have posted a picture, here it is.

:rockon2:

andyour nickname is LEFTY i' bet

[ajcoholic]

I generally play one of my own hand made guitars - because there is nothing quite like playing a guitar you built yourself from rough lumber, that plays and sounds as good or better than many expensive factory ones.

when I'm not playing one of my "AC's" I'm generally playing my PRS singlecut becasue it is a beautifull guitar that feels and plays great.

[TimH]

these days it's an ES335 just cause I'm getting into HB's and this guiatr fels like a million bucks to me.

You must post pics in the 'post your gear' thread.

[mad dog]

Lately, among others, I play a Godin LG signature. That's what brings me to this forum. I knew nothing about Canadien guitars, but now have this very good one. It's well worth playing, being one of the most versatile guitars ever IMHO, great sound with lots of interesting features (like long scale neck plus maple cap mahogany body, sort of Les Paul meets Strat.)

[Lester B. Flat]

For years my only electric was a '70 Les Paul Deluxe, until my shoulder gave out. Now I play a '75 Tele Thinline. The LP is a sit-down guitar but will always be #1.

[peter benn]

Tele partscaster because I can't afford a CS.

[ed2000]

I play a Tele because Jeff Beck used to play one with the Yardbirds.

[guitarzan]

i play a Gibson faded SG because it is the only guitar that allows my rudeness to come through without trying to make it sound pretty.
