Members humbuckerstrat Posted April 27, 2016 Members Share Posted April 27, 2016 It depends on which one of my 9 guitars I'm into @ the time. Right now I'm into my Hohner hollowbody (again) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DeepEnd Posted April 28, 2016 Members Share Posted April 28, 2016 It would be an acoustic with a pickup. Sorry guys but I'm an acoustic guy first and foremost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Notes_Norton Posted April 28, 2016 Members Share Posted April 28, 2016 It would be my Parker DF522NN (NN for Notes Norton). It's the only guitar I take to the gig. Why? Light weight, 5 lbs, but sustains as long as my 8 pound LTD "Les Paul" Balanced, take my hands off, it stays put Contoured, no pressure points, it's more like wearing the guitar than holding it 25.5" scale / 14" Radius - just perfect for me Master volume near my picking hand, easy to balance with the song, master tone close by Excellent build in fit, finish and details Ebony fretboard and hardened stainless steel frets - bends like butter and nearly impossible to wear out Tuning stability. Sperzel locking tuners, Graph-tech nut and bridge, plus an almost straight string path from tuner to bridge (except for the break at the nut so I don't need trees) provide stability. Stays in tune better than my other guitars, even those without a whammy and even when my Parker is in the floating whammy mode Sound #1 - Duncan P-Rail pickups that can sound like (1) P-90 (2) Rail (3) Series Humbucker and (3) Parallel Humbucker - it's the Swiss Army Knife of Pickups Sound #2 - Piezo under the bridge that can be played alone for a acoustic sound (thinner than flat top, deeper than an arch top) or blended with the magnetic pickups for a wide variety of variances of those tones. It's my desert island guitar. Since I got it a few years ago, I haven't even had GAS for another. I'm happy. Insights and incites by Notes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thatsbunk Posted April 28, 2016 Members Share Posted April 28, 2016 dont own anything right now that could be my one & only. If I was forced to have just one guitar I'd probably sell everything I have & get a high end es-335 with a bigsby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members soundcreation Posted April 28, 2016 Members Share Posted April 28, 2016 I'd go with some kind of super strat. Humbuckers or SSH type thing. More versatile than any other single kind of electric. And yes...I own a tele. And a strat and a LP and an SG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Ratae Corieltauvorum Posted April 28, 2016 Moderators Share Posted April 28, 2016 a 54-57 Strat, it makes enough sounds to keep me happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chordite Posted April 28, 2016 Members Share Posted April 28, 2016 An HSS Strat and a few pedals all I use these days. Its the same with synths, I have 6 Including the Korg M1 I bought at the local auction last week but I only really use the Korg DSS-1 (it is much better than any of the youtube demo's BTW) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members badpenguin Posted April 29, 2016 Members Share Posted April 29, 2016 56 Les Paul Custom. P90's, 'nuff said. drops mic and walks away....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Ratae Corieltauvorum Posted April 29, 2016 Moderators Share Posted April 29, 2016 56 Les Paul Custom. P90's, 'nuff said. drops mic and walks away....... I still wish that in 1957 when Gibson in their utter stupidity decided that putting three humbuckers in a black Les Paul Custom was a top idea, they'd have just stuck with the two humbuckers, and put a P90 in the middle, thus creating rock and roll history that was to wait for nearly another 30 years before someone thought of HSH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DonK Posted April 30, 2016 Members Share Posted April 30, 2016 Probably a Strat, since I could get some of the Tele sound plus a bunch of others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GAS Man Posted April 30, 2016 Members Share Posted April 30, 2016 I'm also in the STRATOCASTER camp. It would be just the best SSS style strat I could find, with good depth of tone, yet plenty of vibe and quack. I also like the versatility of them. It's funny that I used to be drawn to them for their in between positions, i.e. 2 & 4. But now I play and enjoy them more in the single coil modes, and I find the neck coil to be more to my liking than most HB guitars in the neck mode.

Members wankdeplank Posted May 4, 2016 Members Share Posted May 4, 2016 My 89 Strat Plus. Really love everything about it after I ditched the noiseless pickups. (Can't say I wouldn't miss my other guitars though.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gardo Posted May 4, 2016 Author Members Share Posted May 4, 2016 If I could only have 1 guitar I'd probably spend less time tinkering and tweaking and more tine playing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RaVenCAD Posted May 5, 2016 Members Share Posted May 5, 2016 I'd go insane trying to choose between my Carvin CT4 and my Gibson Les Paul. If there isn't room in the world for both, then there isn't room in the world for me either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members boostpedal30 Posted May 14, 2016 Members Share Posted May 14, 2016 It would be the stratocaster I am holding now , with the neck fixed... or just a good American stratocaster with Texas Specials or similarly good pickups... I have gotten some Japanese and Korean stuff into my house when this was away ( and supposedly getting fixed), and man what am I to do with all that crap when I have an authentic well-functioning MIA Strat again. And I thought I was getting some real solid instuments at bargain prices. This probably applies to most respectable American made guitars though: Teles, Les Pauls etc...

If there isn't room in the world for both' date=' then there isn't room in the world for me either.[/quote'] The CT4 is very similar to my Schecter so it would probably be my choice of the two. Again, though, it would be a good acoustic for me.

Members Pine Apple Slim Posted May 15, 2016 Members Share Posted May 15, 2016 Well I'll never sell my Martin. Out of the electrics I own, I'd have to keep my partscaster tele with the Wylde/Lawrence rails. If I lost em all I'd buy another good dread, Martin, Collins, Santa Cruz, Bougois, etc. and some kind of nice 335 most likely, Gibson. Yamaha, Collins, or the like. I could be happy with just those. Tho I'd like.y build another tele, just because Teles are so useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
