What guitar is your number one?

What guitar is your number uno?

I added a few options to the poll, but of course it's impossible to cover everything, so add your comments and perhaps a photo?

My number one is my American Standard Strat, with Zexcoil pickups.

 

[Tig]

Still the Reverend Club King 290. It just never gets old or sounds bad, even with me playing it! It always feels like home.

 

[Robert]

Nice strap.

 

[marnold]

Still my Jackson DK2M. With most guitars there's always something I'm eager to change. Not with this. Other than adding a treble bleed cap and a trem stop to help with string changes, it's bone stock. Seymour Duncan JB and Jazz pups. I loves me some black sharkies. The best part is that I got it from GC for $299 brand new. Of course the idiots had given someone else the whammy bar that was supposed to be on it (just the bar, not the whole bridge). That was easily remedied.

They still make the DK2M, but without sharkies. It's no longer made in Japan either. From some sites I've looked at, they're now made in Mexico, presumably at Fender's plant. Oddly enough there's even a DK2M with a rosewood fretboard. The "M" is supposed to stand for "maple."

Thought I had a full-size version of the photo online, but you can see it in my avatar.

Since I play my tele and my strat more that anything else, I voted Fender. Sometimes, in acoustic mode, my Martin would be the number one. And if I lost all other guitar gear, it is the Martin acoustic I would keep. Not sure though, if I could also keep an amp.

Pettingill Frying Pan Special Lap Steel with 24" scale. BG Pups did the pickups. Lizard humbucker in the neck. Hellabucker in the bridge. 6 position rotary knob to have each pup alone, split the Hellabucker and then have the various inside/outside coils of the pups combined with each other. Open E tuning and a sustaining monster. The Hellabucker can get righteously raucous and the Lizard is smooth cream.

It has turned out to be my first MIM Black 2006 no pick guard Strat once I installed Rose Pickups on that baby was taken to an whole other level and the neck is the best not a 60's Gibson neck I have ever played on. Love that AXE!

1996 Am.Std. Tele w/ Parsons/Greene B-bender.

 

[tonebender]

Gibson Les Paul with P90's.

 

[Jipes]

My Number one is a nice 78 Thinline Telecaster Custom and would soon be transformed with a nice sunburst and Nitrocellulose finish

 

[MAXIFUNK]

Favorite Bass Right now is my 2014 Sadowsky Will Lee VI does it all!

 

[duhvoodooman]

Tends to be whatever I bought last! So right now:

I voted "Fender" in the poll because of the 12 electrics I currently own, 5 are Fenders (2 Strats & 3 Teles) and one is a G&L Tele-type (Tribute ASAT Classic Bluesboy semi-hollow).

 

[piebaldpython]

Hey Vood, like the pic of your axes. Tell us about the one that is 3rd from the right. Looks like a Godin with air vents behind the bridge and on the top left of the forward bout.

 

[duhvoodooman]

Yep, it's a '97 Godin LGX. I bought it for use with my church praise band because it will handle both electric and acoustic tones, so I only need to bring one guitar on those Sundays when I need both sounds. The string saddles are transducers for the acoustic amplification and the controls for it are slider switches (vol, T, M, B) on the top left bout. The "vents" you referenced below the bridge are just slots in the body for the strings to pass through to the string-through holes. It also has three output jacks--a dedicated jack for each of the electric and acoustic modes, and a third tied to a blend control so that you can mix the two sounds. It's a pretty cool instrument. Got it used off Reverb.com. It's in great shape for its age. Bigger pics:

 

[piebaldpython]

Godin makes some sweet gits. Still mad at myself for not jumping on a Godin w/P90s when I had the chance a few years ago.
I may soon commission a sweet Lap Steel Coodercaster with Lollar Supro (bridge) and Gold Foil (neck) pups.

 

[Jimi75]

Don't have a photo at hand but here's my number ones:
1. 1997 Fender Jimmie Vaughan Strat with Texas Special PUs
2. Amp: Two Rock Studio Pro 35 Combo
3. Pedal: TC Electronics Spark Mini

I prefer Fender style guitars all the way

 

[Spudman]

This Ibanez SZ320 is the one I always have the most fun with. So many great sounds from this one guitar.

This Ibanez AWD 82LTD is a close second.

 

[Perfect Stranger]

Whichever one I happen to be holding at any given time. Every time I pick up one I fall in love all over again!

 

[peskypesky]

I'm like Perfect Stranger. ^

I generally fall in love with whichever one I'm playing at the moment. Lately my two faves are a modded Squier Strat with scalloped neck and my Epiphone Dot. I could be happy with just those two electrics.

 

[Jimi75]

Here's a vid of my number 1. This particular guitar gives me all the sounds that are in my head. There is this direct connection between instrument, head and fingers. 20 years of intense playing have left their marks...

[Robert]

Nice Jimi! I don't think I've ever tried that model. Seems great for sure!

 

[Eric]

Well, I only have one guitar, so I guess it would be a Carvin DC127.

Bass, I don't really want to pick. I play an EBMM Bongo and MIM P about the same amount, and the 'Number One' varies from week to week.

 

[stiggowitz]

Strat type "partscaster"
