ToneMonkey Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 I'd have a nice Les Paul double cut with coil tapped HB's and variax electronics in. I'll build one of these one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main thing is they are tonally dead and overpriced.for the same price there are numerous esp ltd models equipped with the same pups and a better bridge,with mahogany or alder as a body wood.

crafty Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 (edited) Fortunately, guitars are like women. You never have to choose to have only one woman to have carnal relations with for the rest of your life.

westhemann Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 well,tone IS subjective.basswood sounds tonally dead to me,and that guitar has basswood wings....that equals tonally dead for me compared to my other guitars made of mahogany,alder,or bubinga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I agree. For the price of an Ibanez you can get an LTD or even an ESP with better hardware, wood, and pickups. I'm more of a traditionalist though, so gimme my Strats and LPs!

biliousfrog Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 I really like PRS guitars & would be very tempted to go that route but I'd have to say a strat. I spent several years avoiding strats & Les Pauls because of how common they are but when I was looking for a new "main" guitar about 10 years ago a sales guy got me to try a strat & I finally got it. It was what I had been looking for for years but my desperation to be different had stopped me. I've played some fairly average ones & mine isn't the best made one but it plays & sounds great. I expect that it will always be my main guitar & I can see me having it for the rest of my life. It has played in brilliantly & it feels so comfortable to play.

Acousticraft Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Give me a red Gibson 335 because they are so versatile. Everything from Jazz to Heavy rock and all else in between. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joobsauce Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 I would go with my favorite cheap guitar, a stagg clone of a jagmaster. I just need to put a texas special single coil in the neck, stock middle, and a dimarzio humbucker in the bridge, and get some locking tuners for it. I'd be set. : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikevirok Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 Well, for me it would be the Taylor. I have owned many a guitar in the past 10 years and I until recently I didn't realize how lovely the Taylor company actually is in their careful production and continuing care of their instruments. If you have ever had a Taylor acoustic neck pulled off of the body for a re-set, you know what I am referring to... I have lived in this small apartment for about a year now where I am unable to play loudly through an amplifier and I don't like using headphones due to their concentrated noise-into-ear aspects over a long period of time, so I usually find myself strumming on my acoustic. I also removed myself from the live hard-rock circuit to focus on song-writing in my own little singer-song-writer world. I bought a Taylor 314 Koa back last November and I have yet to regret that purchase. It has been and incredible writing tool and is built solidly. I can't say the same thing about some of the other guitars I have owned in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwhiteandthemaple Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 This is a really tough question. I really like acoustic, but want the playability of an electric as well. So it's Taylor T5 for me. (Although... [size=1]PRS's are pretty tempting too.)[/size] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattia Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 playability is about string and setup, not acoustic or electric. Honestly, I'm surprised folks are going for factory guitars. I don't even own any guitars I didn't build any more, and the only ones I see myself owning in future (if any) are old/interesting/vintage ones I can learn from and enjoy in their own right. And/or trades. One guitar: self-built acoustic, Cocobolo/Bearclaw Euro, Grand Auditorium. For electrics it'd be a chambered singlecut, maybe doublecut PRS-ish thing. Self-built. Probably blue. Or tiger eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastertone007 Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 PRS Singlecut, i had one and it was the best guitar i hvae ever played. But i had a delux strat USA model and it was a honey to.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotgoalie11565 Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 This was a tough one but I narrowed it down to a Strat. Not far behind would be a Tele, Les Paul and a dot neck 335 in cherry red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
