Members Muddslide Posted April 28, 2010 Members Share Posted April 28, 2010 If we can stretch this to include basses, I'd have to say the pre-'57 Precision Bass. Just a model of efficiency. Slab body, little SC pup that shoots thunder. I dig the post-'57 P-basses too. Every time I play a good P-bass, I think "Why did anyone think they could improve on this design?" As far as six-stringers, I've always had a lot of Telecaster love. A 1973 maple-necked Tele was the best guitar I ever owned, and one of the best I've ever played. I preferred it to a pre-CBS Tele I had in fact. Beyond the mighty Tele, I really like Jazzmasters and Jaguars. I've never gotten on well with Strats. I like them in theory, but I just don't gel with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jumpwin Posted April 28, 2010 Members Share Posted April 28, 2010 Mine, without a doubt is the Jag-Stang ' alt='>'> ' alt='>'> Just wish I had a clean, Original one in Daphne Blue. But this one plays and sounds like everything I ever wanted in a guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Elias Graves Posted April 28, 2010 Members Share Posted April 28, 2010 I hate 25.5" guitars, so most are out for me. I guess I'd have to go with the Squier VM thinline tele in shoreline gold. I do like that guitar. EG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members auriemma Posted April 28, 2010 Members Share Posted April 28, 2010 If I have my Strat Plus and CompStang out and handy... I'll always reach for the Mustang first. Don't get me wrong, I love my Strat Plus, but the 69 Mustang Competition just does it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Beckman Posted April 28, 2010 Members Share Posted April 28, 2010 I don't think I could ever have a favorite. They all look similar as far as wood, pick guard, etc. I like the Jazz Masters and any 2 and 3 tone burst strats. I am not a huge fan of solid color strats, unless natural finished.

Members Tweedledee Posted April 28, 2010 Members Share Posted April 28, 2010 I'm a complete Fender fanatic. After years of buying and selling and searching, I actually now own my three top Fenders: Tele, Jazzmaster, and Jaguar. I'm not sure I could rank them because they're all fantastic in their own way. 1966 Jazzmaster: AVRI Surf Green '62 Telecaster Custom (with a few small mods): 1965 Jaguar that I refinished in Inca Silver: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tkachuk07 Posted April 28, 2010 Members Share Posted April 28, 2010 Vintage '62 strat (in olympic weight) That! My first guitar was 90's MIM Strat in white/rosewood, but was sold years ago. I now have a new 2009 MIM Strat in white/rosewood that pulls off this vibe pretty well. Some of those Jazzamster/Jaguar offsets look sweet to me visually, but I 've never owned one. I have a tele, nice guitar, but tele's rarely wow me visually. That surf green tele with binding is getting there though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Tele on the way, hoping it has a HB route in the neck so I can drop in a mini-hum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members maltomario Posted April 28, 2010 Members Share Posted April 28, 2010 granted i'm a bit of a non-traditionalist when it comes to guitars (I prefer floyd trems, compound radius, non-vintage frets, etc) and this will probably not be to everyone's taste... but this is my favorite "fender" brand guitar. After 8yrs of searching I finally found one and brought her home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members *BLEEP* Posted May 2, 2010 Members Share Posted May 2, 2010 My favourite Fender guitar is the Bronco, because if I decide to (or accidentally) smash it to pieces, I won't feel bad about it. If fact, I might even feel that I did humanity good -- even though a tree died because of its pitiful existence. The only thing better than any of this would be a Behringer product being atomised by a megawatt plasma beam, but I digress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
