Re: Tell us about your one favourite guitar
Hard for me to choose just one as I love the few guitars I consider "keepers" pretty equally. However, if I had to run out of the house in a fire, I'd take my 2013 American Vintage '65 reissue Fender Jaguar in Ice Blue Metallic with matching headstock.
This is the only guitar I still have (other than the Lee Ranaldo, which I'm trying to sell) that I bought new. It is also the nicest guitar I own. Everything about it looks and feels top class. It also sounds awesome and feels amazing in my hands. It's totally mint because it's the only guitar I baby. Not a scratch on it! Here's a close-up.
It has quite a chunky neck that initially put me off a bit but the more I played (over many months), the more I liked it. Now it's my favourite neck.

My favourite, but you've all seen it before.

Re: Tell us about your one favourite guitar
OK.
Thought this through.
Love my Strat but it could be replaced with an EJ model.
The Aria impresses me more each time I play it but I could downgrade to a real 335.
The SE One is a delight but it's probably not too hard to replace.
Which leaves me with this; putting on its best evil face.

Unique. Built by and for me. Somewhat fussy about the amps it works with but since it met Optimus Prime, there's nothing it won't do.

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Mine is easily the best looking!
It does actually have a sister guitar, taken from the same slab of quilted maple. The finish is Scorpion Smoked Burst.

Re: Tell us about your one favourite guitar
Scorpion burst FTW. Hell, just for that name alone
For me it's a toss up between my LP Classic and the PRS Singlecut. LP for sentimental reasons I suppose. But the PRS is just such a well built, effortless guitar to play it definitely has the edge.
Even simple things like the placement of the volume pots and how easy they roll back make all the difference. The Bareknuckles I put in it are really something else. Very happy no one ever wanted to buy it.

I had the choice out of the two of them and even though I'm a Scorpio, I went for the one I liked the look of best.

Haha, thanks. Here it is with my second favourite guitar, a 2000 AVRI 62 Jazzmaster in Sherwood Green Metallic.bender wrote: OWWWWWWWW MY FAAAAAACE!!!!! F*ck that's awesome.
If need be, I could live happily ever after with just these two.

Re: Tell us about your one favourite guitar
It is very difficult, but in terms of playability and tone mixed together, it's got to be my '99 R9.
