Guitar players..what was/is your favorite guitar and why..for me it was a late 90s les paul three pickup custom..loads of sustain and a bottom end that could tear down walls...what say you?
I like any guitar as long as i have one but i've always liked gimmicky guitars....ricky nelson plays a nean multi..also page...and gordie johnson from big sugar
A Bass player friend of mine lent me this Guild Guitar. ( It was wayyy better than the axe I owned at the time) I played it onstage only for about a year or so, but definitely one of my favorite Guitars from the '70s. Fuck, I can't get the link to work. Oh well anyway its an S-300... ZW
i know the one..had a few guilds acoustics.the other one i loved was a 1970 sg standard like angus young played..when the pickups age they sound better
lol quite alright.computers cant guess what we want to do eh? cool pic..rick is a great player and has a hell of collection :cheers2:
My favorite guitars that I own. Limited Edition Gretsch Chet Atkins Tennessee Rose Electric Guitar Taylor Nylon String Grand Concert Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar
good choice..love gretches brian setzer of the stray cats really knows how to use them.never owned one but i wanted to :cheers2:
My grandfather (72) has played Gretsch guitars since he was 15 and plays in the style of Chet Atkins. He still had his first Gretsch up until a few years ago. It was in pristine condition and he sold it for upward of $13,000. I really wish he didn't. I would have loved to have it as a keepsake. As a piano/violin student when I was a kid, I grew up fiddling around on all his Gretsch guitars out of interest and I really grew to love Gretsch. No guitar, in my mind, can match the feel and sound of a good Gretsch electric. They are awesome instruments. Taylor acoustics are also very nice guitars. They're beautifully crafted and have a great, deep sound to them.
indeed i agree taylors,for as little time as a company,makes great guitars.the one i wish i never got rid of was a 1972 gibson es 335 what a sound that one made.i owned about 35-40 guitars and it sucks that there all gone,but i have the memories of them i guess
The Guild S 100 was the SG shaped model. The S 300 had a different body... I had a '72 Gibson SG for a while. I put a " Velvet Brick" in the rear pickup and refitted it with a brass nut. I still didnt like the way it sounded, so I sold it. I have smallish hands so the gibson necks always felt too "fat" to me anyway. ZW
i know what you mean.i have small hands as well.what surprized me how easy it was to play was the gibson explorer.despite the shape,you could play it sitting down (unlike the flying v) the neck was super slim and it was balanced nicely
I had black 76 Tele that got stolen.. That was the finest guitar I've ever owned or played. I currently play a Canadian made 1980 Lado Solo I.. It can do what the Tele and the Les Paul could to a degree.. It has great sustain , but can play clean and loose like a Tele too.. Nice neck and stays in tune real good. For acoustics, the best one I ever owned was an Ovation.. Now I just use a banged up Yamaha.. I have 2 nylon string classicals - a 70s Aria and a Yamaha.
