What guitar do you play, and what would you like instead?

[jimihendrix]

I mostly play a Jap Strat (the one in my Avitar), also have an Epiphone SG i use now and again.

Did have a Fender Jaguar a few years ago, was a black HH special though (Humbuckers in place of Single coils), nice guitar but did'nt really bond with it so sold it on, would now love a standard sunburst Jaguar though.

Would also like a Gibson (Epiphone) 335, not practicing/playing enough these days to justify a new guitar though :roll:

Also as far as I know all of the Diamond series Schecters are made in the US still.

I guess S. Korea has joined the US then!

Korea is where some of my favourite modern clones have come from, amazing craftsmanship.

Here's three of mine:

Takamine acoustic

If I could choose another acoustic it would have to be a Gibson J200. Would just need the soundproofed room to play it - even un-amplified.

2002 PRS Custom 22

Guitar jewellery. Don't want anything else really in this category.

And my No 1.... 1990 Gibson Les Paul Standard

This is the one that is in my will as not to be sold along with my C-16R. It's been through a lot with me and shows every dent and scratch.

I have a couple of other guitars in the collection; a 1989 Epiphone Les Paul in sunburst which is quite a good player but not in the Gibson category, and an ESP "superstrat" thing which has a super thin neck and is rather uncomfortable to play but makes a reasonable noise via active pickups.
All this goes through a big bad Marshall JCM900 which is easily capable of filling a hall itself. Incredible, ridiculous thing.

love the PRS )

I have quite a few guitars, but the favourites are the self-built Jazzblasters (basically Fender Jazzmasters with Wide Range humbuckers and a few other mods):

Shoreline Gold

Black Nitro relic, with block inlay neck, piezo-acoustic bridge and stereo output

Current favourite: Super lightweight paulownia body, block inlay & bound neck, locking tuners, piezo-acoustic bridge, stereo output

Just a nice simple Epiphone AJ-100 in natural finish for me that I've had for about 10 years now

I haven't played in a while and the poor thing does need restringing (any recommendations on strings, as it's been a while since I last bought strings I dunno which to go for. I used to use Ernie Ball or D'Addario but can't remember which versions I used!)

But I love it's sound and feel, must have a session on it sometime soon

Would love a Gibson Les Paul some day, even a standard plain top would do!

Saw the white one on Offsetguitars.com this morning!

Bought a Highway One strat about a year ago - my first electric. Not sure about the sleeping policemen frets, but the tone's nice through a little Vox valve amp.
But I've mainly played acoustic jazz on a cheapo Yamaha classical I've had for about 25 years, right beat-up but sounds great, I'd never part with her!

One of my favourite acoustics is an old Yamaha FG340, it goes in the car/van/whatever caseless and is my go to campfire strum.

Has a very similar character to the 60s Martin Ds, but you can pick them up for a ton.

I am right in thinking the Highway One came in a nitro finish?

What VOX is it you plug into? AC4?

yeah, an AC4 combo with the 10'' speaker - a fab little thing it is.

The Highway One does have the nitro finish, but I'm not that keen on the look tbh. I only chose the guitar for it's tone really - as long as it can make some Zappa-esque noises I'm happy.
