Members gasolinefight Posted July 15, 2008 Members Share Posted July 15, 2008 I started out playing Ltd's, and Epi's, I was always into humbucker's, and hated against all things Fender, and anything else with single coils. Now, I still love my ltd viper, and gibby LP, but I've added two strats, and three tele's, and have become mainly a tele playing, country/blues fiend.

Members KoaFreak Posted July 15, 2008 Members Share Posted July 15, 2008 The diversity of guitars I dig has changed quite a bit. As a teenager I only cared about metal guitars, the only Gibsons I liked were Vs and Explorers and superstrat/shredders were my holy grails. These days I can fully get into jazz boxes, Teles, Strats, Gretsch White Falcons, 335s, practically any well made instrument with some kind of style and a cool sound. But I still love me superstrats, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members knucklechutz Posted July 15, 2008 Members Share Posted July 15, 2008 nope, I just like good guitars of all shapes and styles... only thing that has changed is my ability to afford them..... ^^ this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members samuraiBSD Posted July 15, 2008 Members Share Posted July 15, 2008 I started out wanting a Strat, but after a year of playing, I bought a Les Paul...I think the Les Paul is where it's at for me, nothing else inspires GAS quite like the VM, a Silverburst and a Classic Antique in Honey Burst... Guess that's just it, huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KoaFreak Posted July 15, 2008 Members Share Posted July 15, 2008 I've come full circle, I use to love Jackson style shredder guitars, then went on a tele/strat trip, then prs/lp, now I back to wanting a 80s shredder. I have always been one to resist trends (unless I completely agree with the trend, then I stick with it!). I started playing in the late '80s when shred/metal was on fire, then the early '90s Alt-PUKES effectively pissed on everything '80s and it seemed like 99% of the hosers out their abandoned anything related to the '80s in favor of either intentionally {censored}ty gear or the old standbys---Strat or LP. I have never owned a Strat or LP although I respect them greatly, simply because I get sick to death of seeing everyone playing them. That said, I can have about as much fun playing my Tele as anything, but I never once abandoned my beloved shredders, even when everyone else was doing it. I also never abandoned the guitar solo, which was a popular trend for a long time. I've always believed that a good solo adds to the song. Alex Lifeson is an example of a great player that plays whatever the hell he wants without clinging to some old relic or trying to keep up with trends, I admire that.

Members DavidMgT Posted July 15, 2008 Members Share Posted July 15, 2008 When I was younger I liked contemporary designs such as those made by ESP, Jackson and Charvel. Now, I mostly like G&Ls and Gibsons. I still have a soft spot for ESP guitars though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here! I am finding that I am a neck-humbucker type of player. Only my Les Paul and my G&L ASAT Bluesboy seem to do it for me these days. I am now wanting a Les Paul Traditional and an SG.

Members DavidMgT Posted July 15, 2008 Members Share Posted July 15, 2008 nope, still prefer LP's cant go wrong with that:thu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MikeStatic Posted July 15, 2008 Members Share Posted July 15, 2008 I started out with a Tele, a Strat and an L.P. clone and couldn't imagine wanting anything else. Then I got GAS. At one point I had a slew of Strats, Teles, SG's, L.P.'s, 335's, all the 'classic' guitars - more collector than player. Now I've got a couple Ibanez that I love, some PRS that are just perfect, and a few Fenders and a Gibson. By the end of the year, some of those will be gone. Kind of going full circle I guess.

Members elsupermanny14 Posted July 15, 2008 Members Share Posted July 15, 2008 I'm a Strat guy. While I didn't like Strats when I first started playing they quickly grew on me, and now I'm hooked. I love Strats, to this day...10 years later haha. But I find that know that i'm older i want a wider range of guitars. I want an acoustic/electric with a huge arch top and dual humbuckers more then anything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
