Reply With QuoteA couple years ago, I answered a toss-up between Les Paul and Telecaster. It's more accurate to say that I have a pretty big available group from which to choose, though, and that's even more true now than then.
Stratocaster
Telecaster
Les Paul
SG
335 style
Pointy Shredder Guitar

Nylon String Acoustic

Torn between my Hell No2 and my Reverend Rick Vito. Both play amazingly well, both sound great clean and overdriven, the Hell really gets it when I want to play rockabilly or Texas-style blues, the Vito takes when I want more OD bite or for playing slide.

Once upon a time I would have said my Fender but but the one I go to these days is my Ibanez RG1570 Prestige, best used guitar I have brought & very versatile.
Still have a soft spot for my '98 AM Standard though.

Oops, didn't see this question before! The black Tele is a Frankentele predating the Fender '52 RI Hot Rod's introduction, and although it does have the same Seymour Duncan mini as a neckbucker, I picked it up for about a tenth of what the Hot Rod would cost. It's a total beater that a bud of mine built, and then loaned to his son, who "relic'd" it the "hard way" by literally battering the thing onstage in his terrible poser guylinergothpopmetal band, before his dad rescued and reclaimed it.Originally Posted by Tio Kimo

thanks for catching it. I was on the hunt for a tele. Had a lead on a RI with the mini bucker. Seemed like a nice guitar. I did find a true blue tele though. Jury is out on wether I'll keep it or not. Built by a neighbor of yours, crash. Ron Kirn in Jacksonville. Barn Burner. 11#!!! Kirn handwound pickups. Massive neck. Nice guitar but I don't know. I just love humbuckers.

That's pretty! I don't get up to Jax often enough now that my parents moved away. Though I do still have a brother-in-law and his family up there, as well as an internet cancer buddy up there who owns a funky clothing store downtown, whom I haven't met irl.
