Your most versatile guitar?

[Bg]

haha true! i'm not sure your mahogany strat with humbucker rails remains being a strat either

it is in the neck/mid quack position though although the mahogany does darken it....

71 Fender Jazz
Pretty much cover most parts of everything that one

For a one man worship team this:

how heavy is that beast? do you get a sore back playing that for 30mins?

It gives him Fever.

My BC Rich Gunslinger is a great guitar for playing metal. I only play metal, so it is as versatile as I need it to be.

Epiphone E-444 Granada.

HSS strats. Especially my HSS Suhr.

Which is why I hardly ever play it (unless it’s like a 4 hour covers gig). I like the uniqueness and personality of the less versatile stuff

I've got a 2007 SG GT, which they only made for about 2 years before discontinuing, probalby due to the polarising looks. I got it in 2008 and it's become the main guitar I use for anything in standard tuning. Only guitar I've ever played with the Gibson 490x series humbuckers that sounds quite different when coil-tapped, which was factory standard. Bridge and neck sound like the usual Gibby affair on humbucker, but coil tapped the neck goes quite telecaster and there's almost a stratty bridge feel on the rear pickup when split. As such I've used this thing in about five bands ranging from heavy rock, to indie pop and even soemthign with a country style vibe. Probably the one guita I'd keep if I only had one.

I am still totally smitten with my ex-bender Jazzmaster. Glorious cleans that dirty up very nicely, and enough of a range to cut through most mixes with different switching options. Helps that the rhythm circuit with lower resistance is actually usable.

I really like what I get out of my tele, but playing in a band where the other guitarist also plays a tele makes it hard to distinguish. I've played with 2 JM's before and it's just easier to find a spot in the mix.

[MakoGat]

My 70s fretless wonder LP, humbuckers arent your usual LP sounding, almost does single coil cleans, Peter Green modded

[Mini Forklift]

Would be my 1990 Fender Strat. Neck pickup nails the quintessential Strat sound, but with the pickup selector in the middle position for whaetever reason it sounds absolutely nothing like a Strat

[Candeevr4]

Usually my early 00's Tokai SG with coil splits on it.
When i put new pickups in the Tele and put coil splits on it, i think it will make it my fav, as I prefer the neck on that.
That said, when i get the strat all modded it might even be better......

I'm hardly the most versatile player myself though I can play both kinds of music: Tom & Petty.

My 'range' gets smaller and smaller by the day. By the time I'm in a nursing home I'll be playing bass*.

Has to be the tele, grunty bridge pickup, stratty neck pickup, 4 way switching, mega!

Gotta agree with JB. A tele with 4 way switching covers a lot of ground.

[Scooter13]

Telecaster with 4-way. Just roll back the tone control and you're good for metal. I user CS Nocaster pickups in mine and they cover everything.

I actually do have a guitar that can do lots of different sounds, my Mockingbird with its coil taps and phase switches can cover a lot of ground sonically.

It doesn't do metal very well though, so it isn't versatile enough for me.
