Which of your guitars is your favorite, and why? Also, don't post about a guitar you wish you had, it has to be a guitar you currently own. Show us that one guitar that stands out in your collection.


Mine would have to be my modded, low-end Washburn guitar (Which i don't know the model).


I've tried out many guitars, and often considered changing guitars for a new one in a store, but in my opinion, no guitars in the store compared to this cheap guitar, which i am honestly surprised to say is my favorite. I just love everything about it, i love the feel, the neck which seems to be the one i feel most at home on, and the beautiful sparkley orange colour. I added the Killswitch myself (the red button), changed the pickups and the whammy bar.

Although it's kinda like asking which one of my children is my favourite, I'd definitely have to go with my 82' Tokai Custom.

I know I've posted this one before

but here it is again, my favourite guitar 1955 Harmony H-62

they were made with early 40's Gibson made prototype p-90 predecessor pickups that where sold to Harmony called P-13's (you can see them on 40-41ish gibson electrics see pic at bottom and some lab steels I believe)

here's a 1941 Gibson ES-150 with it's original P-13

I've posted about this one before too. My absolute favorite guitar.

2001 Les Paul 59 Reissue, ex Mick Ralphs, sent to Historic Makeovers for their "D" treatment (brazilian fretboard set with hide glue, 50s style truss with no sleeve, 50s style inlays, new frets, bone nut), Voodoo 59 pickups (both 7.8, AL3 with the PG mod), real vintage bumblebees, 50s studs. I love this guitar.

This is the one I play more than any other, and the one I'd grab if the proverbial house was on fire. A 1997 PRS CE22, recently modified with JS Moore pickups, and now has a 3 way switch instead of the 5 way in this picture. I've never found a comfier neck than the Wide Fat neck on this one:

Love this thread! Beautiful specimens, all of 'em. Dig the Washburn that started the thread off.... I have a few Washies in my collection. And that green fifties number? Wow, what a stellar instrument. Pure gold.

This is my sentimental (and a highly-valued practical) favourite. A 1971 Guild S100 - their answer to the infamous SG. I recently nicknamed her "Richmond" after the pawn shop I bought her from. Yeah, it's kind of a butch name for something you refer to in the feminine, but whatever - this guitar has attitude to spare so maybe it fits after all. Got this baby ten years after she first came out of the Westerly, Rhode Island guitarworks, and kept her all these years. Been modded, refretted, scraped and dented something fierce. Who knows where it'd been until it came into my hands. Got a guitar tech friend to give her a makeover last month. She is pretty battle-scared beneath all that stainless steel sheeting... now she exudes serious mojo.

Probably still my 1993 LP Std "The Natural" which I'm told was a limited run. Came originally with gold hardware and pups, aged inlays and tuners, and a cream pickguard. It now actually has a pair of double cream Wolfetone Greywolfe pups and I've removed the pickguard to show the grain. Plays as easy as pie and sounds killer. About due for a fret job though.

Mojo I guess! Did your guitar tech buddy or someone else do the stailess Max, or is it stock?

Maxer
09-28-2007, 08:18 PM
Michelle, my friend Mel did it. I designed the shape more or less, both the headstock and the body shield, and he got a metalworker to cut the steel, which he then finished and applied to the guitar, after which he gave it a good once-over and set it up with new strings. I have no SGs right now but this one kinda fits that bill.

Man, someone post more pics. I'm enjoying this too much. Davetcan, the grain on that baby is superb... talk about a work of art. I'm usually not one for flashy finishes and vivid grain up the wazoo, but once in awhile I make an exception!

Thanks Maxer, there is some definitely killer stuff around here, including yours, always been interested in those Guilds.
The nice thing about my Lester is that in some lights it looks like a plaintop, but catch it just right and it lights up.

This is my main player now. 1975 Tele Thinline. The finish was stripped when I bought it and I've replaced the tuners and its had a refret. Completely stock and original otherwise.

Sweet Tele, Lester B... looks great stripped. I'm always reluctant to strip a guitar, fearing for the worst - but that's certainly a handsome grain and that unpretentious organic look is, to my way of thinking, perfectly natural for such an austere, no-nonsense a design as the Telecaster. Very nice guitar.

Robert - nice cherry Hamer. Those P-90s look so natural on that guitar. I have a later model archtop Hamer that strongly resembles an LP special. Thing just rings for days, although I'm not so keen on the upper-fret access. Still, a nice guitar. Hamer makes great stuff.. it's almost criminal how underrated they tend to be. I only wish they worked harder on their headstock designs and logos... I find the latter in particular tends to be done in a dull way. They should be prouder of what they do! Picky of me, I know... still, they do have high standards in terms of sheer build quality.

Thanks, Maxer. I've thought about refinishing it ever since I bought it but I'm afraid to because it sounds so great. I also don't want to add to the weight, as I have a severe case of 'Les Paul Shoulder'. The main reason I bought it was the light weight.


Bluezombie, I picked it up for a mere $700 back in 1999.

Man, I think it's great stripped.... not that a coat of paint would seriously add weight to the guitar, but I agree that if the tone is already 'in the zone,' then why mess with a good thing? Besides, as I say, it's already a thing of beauty. Yamaha makes a Mike Stern Pacifica that's very much an organic, natural take on the Tele, and your guitar reminds me of that... plain but purposeful... I dunno, I think it's special. Very Western... rugged and pure.

Another couple of angles on my Guild... which, LOL, is far more of a beloved mongrel than anything resembling a purebred!

yeah, for me, as for most of us, cost is always an issue. A typical guitar player - I'm dirt cheap. This guitar didn't cost as much as you might think. I bought the guitar used at a great deal (about $3600 - sold a guitar for $3300 though), about $1500 for the makeover, scored the pups used on the LPF for about $200, picked up the bees on Ebay for a good deal, and had the studs at home. So even with everything I've done to it, it's still quite a bit less than a new 59 Reissue.

And the guitars in my small collection were mostly bought years ago. I don't think I paid over $1000 for any of them. Except the ES330 was $800 in 1969 dollars though.

really tough going with just one `cause I`m lucky enough to own many great guitars... and I`m gettin` the shakes just thinking about having only one but...it would have to be this one. Evidently custom made for a guy who played SRV in clubs over here by a company called Deviser. It is the best made guitar I own, top of the line everything...Voo Doo p`ups, one piece fully shielded alder body, flame maple cap and no veneer, frets are masterfully finished and I think stainless... I could go on but most of youse would stop reading. One more thing however...even though it`s a Hamiltone clone...it`s a bolt on, which makes it a LOT easier to get back home when I go `cause this one is coming back with me.

thanks, :rockon2: I took a belt sander to the bugger and put in an arm carve. I didn't care much to refinish the whole body so i just stained it out black. (the grain still shows through quite nicely but the photo doesn't show it well. Ive had it set up this way for a while now and with all the playing the patch where the carve is has a "natural" sheen from shirt sleeves and sweat rubbing against it) Basically had built this thing for comfort and versatility. (P90 was installed at the arts in newmarket by eric) I also put in a mini toggle to be able to turn on all three pick ups at once and neck and bridge which is something that the guitar lacks stock.

shop staff told me this story...original owner had it hand made, and by the time he had everything he wanted the guitar cost him $400,000 yen...not sure how many years ago that was and as you can see theres no logo on the headstock but it is stamped in the neck pocket, they also went on to say this guitar led the company to build the Vessel line of guitars they now make based on the Hamiltones. Of course I got it used and paid less than 1/4 of the original price...still not cheap but quality costs more eh.
Deviser is the parent company to Bacchus, as well as several other brands, and they are hand made...the lesser brands are not but the company is pretty well known over here as makers of outstanding guitars. Bacchus has become fairly well known outside Japan over the past few years but they also make the Momose line...their best series and they are not cheap either. Used Bacchus are getting quite expensive now...5 or 6 years ago I could get em new for $400.oo - $500.oo...now used ones cost more than that. But if you ever see one you should try it out...well worth it, I own a bunch of Bacchus from their vintage series and they are very very nice guitars.

The truth is I'm one of those loons that plays lefthanded upside down.
When I was a kid my dad gave me a little acoustic, and being such a lefty, I just turned it over and started learning that way. I didn't know that the strings should be the other way around!
Under the pickguard (if you look close) is a tiny push switch that makes the neck pickup single coil.

Heheh. Naaaa, the case was used when I bought the guitar in '73.
A friend offered to refinish it, but I like the way it looks.

That case is great. Looks like it's been through a couple of nuclear winters.

The checking on your guitar resembles a truly elegant line drawing. Very, very cool. For sure, old goldtops natually aged like that are extremely cool.

I've sold my Hamer Standards : (

The one that I named "The Hamer of the Gods" was finished in '59 burst which I really dislike. However, it was light as a feather and sounded unreal...why am I an idiot!?!?!

The above guitar is a Hamer Monaco Elite in trans-black. Rockin' guitar!

OK, the if by left one you mean the red one, it's my oldest one that i can still use..hehe. it was originaly given to my BY fender when Squier was introruced here in the mid 80's, those models were made in the US as well. same body and neck as a standard strat, but with cheap hardware. i was the top fender seller a certain month and i got it. first thing i did was replace the white pickguard, put 2 fenderlace single coils and a Super Distorition Humbucker, new wiring and pots, a Floyd Rose and BAM, nice HSS config. and in those days at cost that hardware was dirt cheap.

As for my favorite?, well, my favorite player would be the 1987 Strat, wich is the black one, and my favorite looker would be the 60's Lp..:)

But missing from the pict is a 50th anniversarty Olympic White strat with maple neck and a brand new Vintage 62 Hot Rod edition in Olympic White with Rosewood neck.

That explains it, then. I got mine used via CL earlier this year and its previous owner said it was an early model... probably from 2003 or 2004, I'm guessing... fact is, I don't really know when they introduced the Exit 22 models. For all I know, the previous owner switched out the stock knobs.

The guitar that stands out from the rest of my Collection is my 2003 Tom Anderson classic.

It has a nice big neck (largest TAG makes) a nice middleweight alder body, african rosewood neck. The guitar is super feeling and sounds even better...has an H2+ in the back and 2 of the VA2 single coils in the neck and middle.

This guitar absolutely sings...all of my Andersons and my Brian Moore C55 are a cut above everything else I have ever used but the 2003 is a cut above the rest. And it looks cool, the finish is called 'Ruby Slippers'

This is a Gibson Melody maker 12 i bought a few months ago. It's a 1968 model.

I'm starting to give it alot of attention lately, but weirdly enough, i seem to be detaching from it also. I'm considering trading it for a Les Paul of some kind. I'm still not 100% sure though.

I love the Les Pauls on this thread--especially this Custom--and once I get some better pictures of mine--I'll post at least one here. It looks like this, except the toggle switch ring is black, and it's got a TP-6, speed knobs, and the hardware is a mix of chrome & worn gold--that does look gold anymore. Plus both pickups are exposed and they're both zebras.

My Anderson Classic is still my fav but (after trying another guitar) I decided to try out a pair of Suhr Fletcher-Landau single coils in the neck and middle positions. I have to admit that the Suhr pickups are nicer than the Anderson singles were.

This guitar does it for me...everytime another player picks it up and plays it they offer to buy it from me.

No guitar has a real hold on me. The one I currently have out of its case and consequently the one I play all the time is this Franken Tele.

It has:

Mighty Mite neck and body. Body is ash with a maple top
Bill Lawrence pickups
Wilkinson compensated three saddle bridge
Four way switch

Lovingly slapped together on my diningroom table.

It sounds and plays like a Tele.

Four way switch? Neck, bridge, both and what is the other?

Positions 2 and 4 both use both pickups. 2 is series and 4 is parallel I think (maybe vice versa).

The position closest to the neck (4) is hotter than any other position. It works nice for a solo position.

One thing I noticed while assembling the guitar is how tightly the neck fits in the pocket. Pretty much zero slack. I don't know if that's a good thing, but the guitar works great.

Here's mine - this is pretty much it for me.
I sold off all my electric gear a few years ago when I moved to Canada, then bought this after over a year of looking: 1980 Gibson ES-335 Pro w/ Seymour Duncan Antiquities in place of the nasty-ass dirty fingers HBs that it came with stock. Final year of production at the Kalamazoo plant. Some clown drilled it for a coil tap at some stage, which has been drop filled, so it's not pristine or anything but it's got a lot of character, it sounds & feels great and I love this guitar.

(Amp's a '72 YGM3 w/ an older British made Greenback; these little amps have the best reverb tanks and the tremolo is great too--very retro)

I'm truely loving this thing. I was playing it at a friend's house last night through a Trace Elliot Acoustic Cube and did about a 1/2 hour improv on it. But, when played with 2 amps (can't wait to get a bass amp) it's awesome. And, relearning how to play has been so much fun.

my OLP MM1.

the least expensive guitar in my collection, but DAMN, this is a lot
of guitar for the price.i just can't believe they can sell those awesome
guitars for less than most cheapo begginners guitars.
( ibanez gio,jay turser strat copies,squier strats,bc rich bronze,epiphone special, and a lot more that are more expensive and are real junk compared
to the OLP MM1)

here' some pics of mine:

A 2005 Fender Modified Eric Johnson.

Custom hand wound MJS pickups by the pup guru Smitty in the GTA. Absolutely amazing tone.

Pickups blender switch to activate Neck/Bridge together or all three. Highly recommend this upgrade to any strat.

Callaham Bridge Assembly on its way.

I tried... Lord knows I tried... this is the last one. :bow:

It started as a short-scale Vintage Modified Squier Telecaster Thinline in Shoreline Gold (http://www.squierguitars.com/products/prod_images/guitars/0301240544_xl.jpg). Beauty, eh?

Modded with a mother-of-toilet seat pickguard and felt washers on the strap buttons. I hot-rodded the selector switch too, going for the full 5-way pickup wiring. This includes adding the ground wire to the neck pup and the Fezz Parka tone mod from TDPRI. Almost forgot a proper-sized tone pot... and no-load volume control. And really heavy knobs.

I like it! Smitty certainly knows his stuff - some of his custom builds are very unique. Buddy of mine took his beloved Strat in for what he thought was going to be a complete refret - Smitty looked at it and said, "Nah, lots of life left in these." He leveled and dressed them up and it plays just like new again.

I've posted about this one before too. My absolute favorite guitar.

2001 Les Paul 59 Reissue, ex Mick Ralphs, sent to Historic Makeovers for their "D" treatment (brazilian fretboard set with hide glue, 50s style truss with no sleeve, 50s style inlays, new frets, bone nut), Voodoo 59 pickups (both 7.8, AL3 with the PG mod), real vintage bumblebees, 50s studs. I love this guitar.
