What is your weapon?

[Robert]

Can only choose one!

 

[sunvalleylaw]

I like all my guitars. I can't choose one. I have a primary, or number one, but it is not my only weapon. Can't answer!

 

[NWBasser]

As it should seem obvious to those around here that know me, it's not a guitar!

My number one go-to is my fretless Clement bass.

Something magical about it. I can play much better on that one than anything else.

 

[Robert]

Sorry, didn't mean to discriminate, NWBasser! Of course any kind of bass is welcome in the poll! :thumbsup

 

[hubberjub]

My Heritage 535 with Duncan Phat Cats is my current go-to six-string but I actually play pedal steel for about 80% of the gigs I do. In that case, my Sierra Crown D-10 is my go-to.

 

[piebaldpython]

Pettingill Frying Pan Special-001 lap steel in Open E with two bad-*ss humbuckers from BG Pups......the Lizard in the neck and the Hella-Bucker in the bridge.

 

[Eric]

I keep trying other guitars, but I keep coming back to a Les Paul. Maybe that'll change in the future, but right now that's my weapon of choice.

 

[Katastrophe]

Strat, with a humbucker in the bridge, wired for "quack" in positions 2 and 4. In other words, my MIM Standard Strat! It really is incredibly versatile.

 

[pictoratus]

My go to is a Peavey Genny EXP Triple Single. Love that 12" radius neck!

 

[Ch0jin]

Voted "Other" I keep re igniting my love for my Maton BB1200 every time I start playing it again. I think, at least for this week, semi-hollow's are really my thing.

My avatar: my Jackson Dinky DK2M. It is the guitar manifestation of Rev. Rawk.

Can't vote via Tapatalk. N.B. I'm giving a test right now.

Now that I'm home, I chose "pointy shredder" although I'm not entirely sure that's accurate. Headstock is pointy, but beyond that. . . Prolly a "superstrat" choice would be more appropriate.

 

[Commodore 64]

My '94 MiM Squier Series Tele. At rehearsal, it's all I play. I take other guitars too, but I always end up playing that tele. At home I play everything a little bit.

 

[t_ross33]

Something always brings me back to my Modified Vintage Modified Squier Tele (or as someone put it - a Warmoth neck with some Squier parts - lol!).

 

[Spudman]

Damn you Robert. How can you insist on just ONE? :spank I-M-P-O-S-S-I-B-L-E!


How about a Line6 Variax? That should cover everything including banjos.
Otherwise, it would be a Strat for me (damn you for making me choose just one, arrrgh):mad

 

[FusedGrooves]

I voted 335 style although the Yamaha SA2200 should have it's own category

 

[syo]

That would currently be my Hell Zero Dot (Hell, what do you expect?!) . Although 2 weeks ago it would have been the Hell Bender but I'm getting into having a trem model at the moment.

In case I am perceived to be biased by mentioning my own guitars, then I would have to go with my Gretsch Hot Rod.

 

[wingsdad]

Despite having amassed a versatile quiver of almost all of the above, and others not in the poll -- 12-String Electric, 12-String Acoustic, mando, uke, reso (unless counted as a 'slide' guitar) -- I voted Stratocaster, since my #1 go-to weapon since the day I got it, 9/24/81, is my '81 Fender STRAT, and it always will be.

 

[sunvalleylaw]

Ok, ok. I pick my strat. I have always said it is my number one, and it still is. I still don't want to pick though.

 

[Jimi75]

Currently it's my 1976 Strat. It beats all guitars I have played so far tonewise and the playability is awesome, too. Due to the Hardtail I can get a wide range of sounds, also some twangy Tele stuff, but can also switch into Hendrix & SRV territory within a second.

Hmmm...have we seen the Zero Dot, Syo? Is that the semi-hollow?

Like Eric, I keep coming back to my LPs. I love all my guitars, and I play them all, but the favorites are the Agile LP and the Epi 60s Tribute LP. There's something magical in that heavy mahogany...

 

[Tig]

I chose Les Paul since my Washburn is 90% based on it, only better!

UPDATE:
I grab my Hell 2 tele style guitar the most, with the Reverend Club King P-90 a close second.

 

[mapka]

My go to is my Telie but close second is my Hagstrom Swede.

What became of your magnet-swapping experiment, FF? Did you switch out the Agile to A2? What were the results?

 

[mark wein]

Lately it's been back to my Suhr Classic:

I look like I'm going to club you with it and eat your brains though;

 

[Perfect Stranger]

Weapon is an appropriate moniker.....since I fight with it all the time. It usually wins...

Nice STARE!

At the moment, the Agile has overwound covered pickups, A2 in the neck, A4 in the bridge. The same pickups that are in the magnet swapping "tutorial" I posted here actually. As soon as I get a better soldering iron, I'll put the GFS VEH zebras back in, which have the identical magnet setup now. Swapping magnets rules!

 

[markb]

At present a '94 ash veneered US Strat with two of its original single coils and a DiMarzio super Distortion for strat at the bridge. No tone control on the middle pickup for extra twang and brighter in between positions. I've had this one for 12 years now and I'm finally happy with it.

 

[kiteman]

I voted strat because I have a strat and a super strat. My Carvin DC127 is my go to guitar.

Gotcha. So it's still sort of in progress? I was wondering if it made the difference you thought/hoped it would.
