Your favorite guitar...
What brand is it and why? What are some features you can or cannot live without? Who's over or underrated?
Personally I'm an Ibanez man. Never got to try PRS though I've always wanted to. Not big on Les Pauls, necks are too fat for my liking.

I've got an Ibanez 12 String ... and it's amazing. Normally, a 12 string has finger killing action ... but this one is sweetly close w/ absolutely no buzz. It's an amazing instrument.
My favorite guitar though, is my Larrivee. The play ... the sound ... is unparalleled. It's amazing what happens when natural wood is employed w/o lamination.

My collection isn't all that big but even so there's no clear favorite - it depends upon the purpose. The one that has spent the most time "out and ready for jammin'" over the years is a '60s Gibson ES-125 that I got in the mid-80s. Hollowbody, thin, cutaway, double pickups (though the original P90s were replaced by humbuckers by a prior owner) with a reddish sunburst. Sweet. But not perfect, and not a "fast" guitar. The instruments that have got the most attention over the last year are a new uke and a $70 "travel" guitar I have that's shaped like a pineapple (I use it for acoustic slide and have had a fetish lately).

Fender Strat - versatile, clean, cuts through the mix.
Gibson Acoustic - phat, warm, full, good mid range (Elvis played a Gibson J-45)
Gibson Les Paul -phat, warm, sustains forever, powerful rock sound
Fender Telecaster, funky, stays in tune, precise, clear

I have a Cort SJ-3 I bought for $249, all solid wood except the back, J-200 copy, among the nicest acoustic guitars I've even owned..
And for electric I have an Aria 6120 copy with a Bigsby, dual humbuckers with a coil splitter (FA-72) that I got for $360. Great pallette, nails the gretsch 6120 & Tennessean sound.., both guitars mint condition.

"All Guitars are good yeah?"
Indeed. :)
Duane, I've seen those Carvins... I wondered how nice they were. I know they make good stuff, I have a Carvin mic that is great.
Hugh, my collection is small as well. Only 4 counting my bass, but you can only play one at a time eh?
Kev, Sterling... you guys are bringing up some brands I've never heard of... will have to check those out.
Richard, can't go wrong with Fender, quite versatile, and everyone loves Gibson I think. :)
Have you guys seen the Gibson robot guitars that can change tuning to whatever you like via robotic tuners? I'm not sure how I feel about that. I also am skeptical about the new Strats that have that Roland V synth pickup that doesn't change the tuning of the guitar, but changes how the strings are picked up thus changing the tuning of the output digitally... so my question is, wouldn't it mess with you if your output from your amp was say drop D, but your guitar would actually be tuned to standard... if you weren't playing loud you could hear them both at the same time, know what I mean?

Acoustically - I'm a Larrivee girl!!!
I've played all kinds... got a small red nameless guitar in a box when I was 9. Begged for a better guitar, and moved up to a basic Yamaha. Held onto it for a good 16 years, then traded it in for my first "real" guitar... a used Martin D-18, at Gruhns in Nashville. Had it for another bunch of years... then 6 years ago traded it in along with a Takamine and some cash for a beautiful Larrivee dreadnaught. For gigs I keep it tuned in alternate keys. I also have a 00 - Koa back/sided Larrivee... sweet as can be. In fact, no matter how many stores I wander... I've never looked at another guitar since I got these two. Amazing.
Electric - Got a sweet '73 Gibson Freshman... very warm and jazzy. A few months back traded some gear for a '65 reissue Mustang (good for small hands) and great feel (putting that one up for sale).. Because now... I'm a total Strat freak, playing a '62 reissue sunburst... thru a '68 Princeton Reverb.... OH MY!!!!

I am partial to fender and Ibanez. My first Ibanez was purchased in Dec. 1975. It was a copy of the les paul. It was sort of a gold color with a gold looking bridge and keys. Also had the peal inlay. I really liked it alot. 8)
I agree that differant guitars are better for differant types of music, so it's pretty hard to say what I like best.

My Favorite?? Hands down is My 40th Birthday Present given to me by my wife. Since I was born in 1965, she got me an Epiphone Elitist 1965 Casino....very apropos :) I can get some sweet Beatly sounds as it is just like the one they used on Revolver and Pepper.. I am known on another site as "Beatles65" Fitting because I was born that year, and its also a Beatles U.S. LP release

Electric - 1962 Fender Stratocaster I've had it since 1970 so it's come nearly every step of the way (musically) with me.
Acoustic.1923 Martin "Parlour"guitar It came to me in wrecked condition and to watch it come back to life over the 6 months of its restoration was an amazing experience.
Bass. 1972 Fender Jazz Bass. Coz it's the only bass I've got.

1973 Rickenbacker model 480 - Two octave neck, the lightest action on any electric I've ever played, and a sound that is all it's own. I bought it new in 1973 and it's as beautiful today as it was then.
1979 Guild NT512 acoustic 12 string. I've owned several 12's over the years, some had a great sound, others played a little easier, this one plays beautifully and rings like an entire orchestra.
If you took away all my other guitars and left these two, I'd be a happy guy forever.

I guess my favorite is my
1988 Squire Strat ("Susan")
It's got a Hot Rails pickup in the bridge position; coil-splitting switch; graphite nut; and the trem has been blocked.
But then, that's my only electric.
And, in truth the guitar that I've been playing the most these days is the one that I picked up over the summer: a cheapie 2008 Regal resonator. Just nice to have a different sound.

Couple of years ago I decided to buy a "good" electric guitar. I'd been playing cheap knockoffs for years. With a limited budget I could only get one. So I visited all the music stores nearby and played everything. I played Gibsons, Fenders, Rickenbacker, Ibanez , Yamaha , PRS , Schecters, Jackson, ESP, Gretsch (would have loved to try a Hamer or Carvin but they didn't carry any).Took me 3 months and repeated visits. Finally narrowed it down to a USA Strat, Gibson LP and a Gibson SG Classic with P90's. Really loved the sound of P90's and Strats are a dream to play but I figured if I could only have "1" guitar that the LP would be the most versatile for what I play.

Jesse, because of my slide work recently I've been intrigued by the robot guitars. But I'd have to actually sell some mp3s before buying anything else (lol), so I think my collection isn't going to change much in the near future. I haven't seen one in real life - I was opposed at first but have grown more interested, especially since they've added more guitar models and have added some "regular" finish colors too instead of just the nasty "robot" colors (lol). If you try one, lemme know how you like it!

Will do Hugh. I'd have to drag myself into a Guitar Center to do that though, I hate that place. They always try to sell me something THEY think I need, no matter what I tell them I like. Every time I tried to tell them I like Ibanez, they always pushed Schecter's on me... I figured there was a higher markup there so they'd make more commision off of the sale.
BJ, a Martin from 1923? What a beast! I bet that bad boy is worth some bucks, yeah? Or maybe not so much since it's no longer original...
Satch, Martins are the Granddaddies of all acoustics for sure. My father has always played them so I grew up around them. He has a D28 and a D18. Awesome guitars. I have a Taylor and think it's great because the body of my model is a bit smaller than a dreadnought and it's a little easier to play than a Martin. I will say it's not quite as full sounding though.
Auset, thank you darling. I haven't gotten a chance to check your tunes yet, really gonna do that soon... hopefully tomorrow. I love talking gear as well. If I had the money, I could go blow like 15,000 grand right now and legitimately use everything I bought, lol. Ahhh, what a dream...

I played PRS ce guitars when I was touring ...they are reliable and versatile.
I actually just put Duncan Seth Lovers in that black and white Zack guitar there and it great!!!! I love that guitar, I bought those zack guitars for the necks, but the black and white one is special, it's 9 1/2 pounds!..but it just has this special feel, great sustain..They have hard maple necks that are fat c shaped things which I love.
the camo one isn't as good, but it resonates well, has a lighter body.......I was thinking about putting P90s in it..maybe a Bigsby!!
:-)
really though, I've played a lot of guitars and the two best guitars I've ever owned were heritage guitars.
one was a CM150 ultra, and the other is that blue 170.
But you have to love les pauls really to appreciate them.

the Ibanez (RG5ex1) and the Camo Zack are for drop tunings..
I have students who bring in drop D and drop C tunes that they want to learn, and I'm getting interested in writing in drop D..
Metal!!!!, HA HA HA my son now constantly exposes me to Suicide Silence, Job For A Cowboy, All That Remains(they're amazing). I'm trying to dig it all, but a lot of it drives me nuts..the constant 16th note and high speed triplets on the double kick and the scream singining....Ug..but I'm trying to make the generational leap!
:)
of course guys like Petrucci are doing a lot of Prog Rock in those tunings, and Breaking Benjamin, who I really like, use drop tunings a lot...
But really, I'm listening to Greg Howe! Paul Gilbert, Dream Theater..
Greg Howe has his new CD is on I tunes.
Which is great, he's never had a CD available on there before.
the new one KILLS!!!!
It's called "Sound Proof"
Jesse if you haven't listened to Greg you should, he'll blow your mind.
Check out the tune " "Side Note" from the new CD or the title track "sound proof".

What exactly do you do never never band? And what is drop C exactly, is it like drop D but the E is dropped to C?
I use drop D I like it a lot. I was using open C major for a while which is cool too, but I like the fact that drop D still has the standard tuning aspect aside from the lower E, so I can play standard tuning leads and open chords.
Haha, Death Metal!!!! RRRRRRARAAAAAAAAGGGGHGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! I always have to do that. I'm not a huge death metal fan for the reasons you stated. You might check out a band called Gojira, they're from France and they're heavy, but very musical and environmentally based if you will. Very unique. They've got some really great subject matter in their tunes and you can actually understand what the lead singer is saying (most of the time). To me, even though it's metal which comes across as super pissed with the screaming and the whole bit, they seem peaceful.
Or for heavier rock/metal with a big sound and keyboards and real singing check out Devin Townsend. He's the coolest ever.
Greg is awesome man! I ran across him on myspace. I like how he has all those long, melodic runs... he just seems to pick the coolest notes. I also saw him in a new gear mag I got in an ad for those new Laguna guitars.

Later, I got a Peavey Raptor (Strat copy- great action). Now I have a dilemma- Bryan, my BonsaiChainsaw buddy, gave me a 50th Anniversary Strat for my b'day, and now I have two great guitars to choose from.

To make a long story short, I'm working at a radio station and in the kitchen at a restaraunt. At the same time I'm staying at home helping on the family chicken farm. We have turkeys and goats right now also.
Left my full time job in Nebraska to move here to Indiana to be closer to family and to have more time to write and record music. Sold most my stuff to do it as I could only take with me what would fit in my car. Even had to leave my cat behind, that was the worst thing of all.
So now I'm working part time to pay my bills and working on the tunes. Hopefully I'll be able to make a living recording music. Been working with several players overseas on collabs and have made some good friends, and hopefully and trip to Europe is in order sometime in the near future. I'd like to get a CD out soon featuring all the guest guitarists that are nice enough to contribute to my songs.
In the meantime I'm working on becoming a better player all the time, and most of all I'm just trying to enjoy myself while I can in this crazy world.

Drop C is just tuning the whole guitar to standard D and then dropping the low string down to C..

Thanks for checking it out...
Yea, the RTP really is the Ferrari of Fender-based clean tube preamps. Its stellar for clean guitar, bass, Rhodes, etc. Very versatile.
The FreeLoader is super cool for guitar... its a GREAT buffer to put before a pedal board. Basically, the Freeloader is a variable "load" control that tailors the tonal response of your magnetic pickup. It's not a typical "tone control". Every magnetic guitar pickup has what's called a resonant peak in the treble range.
With a high value "load" (high impedance) this resonant peak can be very tall and sharp sounding. With a low value "load" this resonant peak can be made flatter giving a warmer, mellower tone from the pickup. With the range of the
knob, you can dial in either extreme or anything in between. Dean Parks (guitarist for everyone... currently on tour with Crosby and Nash... also studio with everyone from Barbara Streisand to Steely Dan... He uses the RTP and also added a FreeLoader - he loves it for electric guitar.
How's that for geeky talk? Even our Steel Guitar Black Box is amazing on acoustic guitars... this we discovered by accident. But it really brings out the natural sound of wood and strings, not pickup. Peter Mayer, guitarist for Jimmy Buffet, uses that.
hmmm.... how's that for geeky talk? : )

that freeloader is cool!
I bypass the tone pot on my heritage guitar, just a single volume pot .
which I like because the guitar just sounds good a pure that way, it resonates well for a solid body, which is why I put that little chet style arm guard on there...
The freeloader sounds like a way to trim the high mids and get a sort of jazz box tone without the strange sort of nose plugged thing that a tone pot does...?
yes?
I wish the freeloader had bypass, it'd make it more desireable for a guitarist I think.

I guess it's like a deluxe, with high low input and two volumes, you can bridge because there two inputs for both High and Low.
I use both sides of that output tube by running a little cord from high to low.
I dont know enough about electronics to answer about the Orange Drops...I kind of have to use poetic language and find someone patient enough to help me find the right gear...or create it.
I used to have an Original Chieftan 2/12 from before the Matchless Re-org.
I adored it, but it was too damn loud and too heavy..
I toured with that amp for 3 years.
ug..
I wish I hadn't sold it though, it's worth a lot of money now.
I think I may order one of your free loaders. It sounds like a good gizmo to have around.
You know what I really need though is a good little compressor....and some education on how to use it.
I look at that little Keely Unit, and I think that might be the one...
I saw Sonny Landreth in a tiny club here a few weeks back and he had the most magnificent tone, he had what I think was a keeley compressor on the floor, ran to some boutique tube pre amp and then a blackface twin...
the sustain and teeth of of his tone was amazing, and it was all at his fingertips, all he used was that volume knob on his strat and his hands...
what great player!

1.)Peavey Wolfgang!
Had it for about 10 years and it's travelled with me, A LOT. I've tried hundreds of different guitars and never found anything else that gives the same level of tone, or the same high output level.
No tone control required - just back of the volume a little to reduce the sparkle.
also the D-Tuner on the bottom E makes drop-D tuning a doddle.
It's one guitar I would never sell, and would be devastated if anything bad happened to it. It feels like a friend that's accompanied on many great journeys.
2.) Fender Telecaster Lite-Ash (modified with Joe Barden Pick-ups)
I'm a Springsteen fan and this is the only way to get that distinctive sound from songs like "Born to run".
Looks cool as all hell too!

To Never: yea, the Keeley comp AND Analogman's Comprossor are great ones to consider... both are clones of the famous Ross.

1959 Gibson es335----looks a lot like that big red semi in nevers big pic
----I'm guessing that's an epiphone??
It's heavy but records well, and has so many different "moods" from hard out rock to accoustic sound---especially when I put on light strings
but I do ALL my writing on a Cimar accoustic ---which is a copy of a dreadnought, I believe----it has such an easy action as over time the belly has bowed a little dropping the action---I used to love my old Hofner untill it was stolen!!

Auset, speak of all gear! I'm enjoying reading all these posts... I personally would love to get a real amp... I really really want a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier or something like that, I would kill. >Sigh<
