Poll - If you could only have one electric guitar

asmara · Post by **asmara** » Wed Jan 09, 2008 11:36 am

My first poll. I saw some pretty amazing guitar collections recently on these forums. But what if you could only have one electric. What would it be? And why if you care to share.

Vintage Fender Telecaster with a big fat neck. Total vibe and always sounds great. Led Zep I.

(My other two would be a '57 strat and a '59 Les Paul.)

I got a Fender Jaguar Special HH last summer and since then, I found that I don't play my Telecaster or my Epiphone G400 since I can get similar sounds from it and not have to adjust to the feel of different guitars.

This Jaguar has humbuckers, but not the high-output kind. Coupled with the bass roll-off switch, it's like having two guitars; a boomy rock/blues guitar and a skronky punk/country guitar.

If it was a bass it would be a Sadowsky Jazz, the 60's style ones with the neck binding and VTC.
for guitars it would be an ancient Gibson SG like from the 60's. Before they started to suck. Ialso wouldnt kick a Musicman Stingray Guitar out of bed. they didnt make any post EB as far as I know.

A 60s or 70s Gibson SG Standard, with a humbucker in the bridge position, a P90 in the neck and one of those RS Guitarworks Pot/Cap upgrades. I figure between that I could get most of the guitar tones I like between different amps and stomp boxes.

I am not surprised to find the tele in the early lead. Gibson SG seems to be next. But just like Iowa and New Hampshire , it is still early.. Oh as far as my own choice. It would have to be a 1959-62 Gibson es-330 with bigsby.

I *do* only have one - an SG with good Seymour Duncan pickups.

I remember those. I think I played one in the Sharper Image store or something. Have you ever considered moding with P90 PUs?

Kay Jazz 2.
I'll play mine till it falls apart. That should be few weeks from now.

Any old school Fender Jazz is excellent, IMO.

i have a usa hamer studio archtop w/ barden humbuckers in it that i love and which would be my choice. i have a g&l legacy that's great too, but it tends to get pretty dusty and the strings rust in between plays these days.

a good Fender Telecaster, no contest...preferably a just barely pre-CBS one with a rosewood fingerboard and proper shielding.

coming in a close second place would be a Gretsch G6128 Duo Jet (Filtertrons, non-trem).

yah, i'm not asking for much am i?
