Members Bucksstudent Posted December 24, 2013 Members Share Posted December 24, 2013 I used my Gibson SG Special Faded from 2005 to about 2008 as my main guitar, but I used on more of my recorded songs than any other guitar to date. Right now, I'm playing my Epi Les Paul Custom and DeArmond M-70 the most. I pulled out the SG last night and was still impressed by the sound.

Members Chordite Posted December 24, 2013 Members Share Posted December 24, 2013 Once a photographer was asked "how many cameras do you have in your collection?

Members kayd_mon Posted December 24, 2013 Members Share Posted December 24, 2013 I'll be that photographer has cases full of different lenses for that camera! I suppose one could make it happen with one guitar and selection of amps and pedals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know players that can do it with one guitar and one amp. In the right hands, a 335 and a Twin can cover just about anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BydoEmpire Posted December 25, 2013 Members Share Posted December 25, 2013 Traded up from bad guitar to bad guitar until I got a Dean ML Baby after a few years. It was pretty cool, and used it through about half of college. One summer I saved enough to get a Jackson Dinky Reverse, which I owned until a couple years ago. That was my main guitar for a few year, and through my first couple bands. Eventually I got an SRV strat (96), which I loved and was my #1 for a long time. Sold it earlier this year... The SRV traded places with a Frankentele I bought online - it had a '72 Custom neck and no-name body w/ the finish stripped. Put a hot rails in the bridge and it screamed. Loved that guitar. The tele & my SRV were #1s for a long time until a couple years ago I bought my Suhr set neck modern. That was my dream guitar and it's my current #1. I have two others which I really like, but the Suhr is still my 'main' guitar.My main acoustics were my wife's Takamine Jon Jorgenson (still have), and my National Tricone resonator (sold to help fund the Sunr).
