Yes, that's an 8 string with fanned frets, and I really want to own one. But really, only to play animals as leaders, you know of them?GTwander said:
Poll: Your favourite guitar...
- Thread starter mikecoulter
- Start date
Yeah, really needs an "other" option. Ive either owned or spend alot of time with all of the options. But the best guitar I have used/owned is the PRS custom 24. Just does everything I need. However just to pick something from the pole, I do have my strat next to me just now. And it is my main writing tool.
Out of that list, I'd say my favorite would be the SG, that devil-horned pinacle of guitar technology, but it's not my favorite.
No, that would be the Fender Mustang, the choice of any self-respecting surf/garage guitarist. Empf.

OT: I chose the fender tele. Perhaps its because I learnt to play on a tele, but other electric guitars tend either to feel a bit too flimsy, like the Gretsch I have, or too clunky, like my brother's Les Paul.
Well, ideally the best guitar for me would be a gold top Les Paul, with a bolt on neck, a Bigsby Tremolo and 2 P90's... since those are my favorite aspects of all guitars... though that kind isn't very common and I've never actually played one...<.<
So I'll go with the Fender Jazzmaster... the long scale neck makes it a bit hard to bend notes... especially since I use heavier strings... and the general width of the neck is a bit thin... but the longer neck gives it better bass response, which is the perfect with those lipstick pick ups, which already give you very beautiful glassy high and mids, gives it quite a nice range of sounds... even with just 2 pick ups... though the mid range output on the pick ups does weird stuff occasionally... but it doesn;t hurt to have a tremolo...<.<
Though out of all of the guitars that I actually own... oddly enough my favorite one is my 1960's Univox Hollowbody... well I think it's a univox... but it's frets are worn down to nothing, it's made out of ply wood, the wiring was done wrong and the action is extremely finicky... I have to constantly adjust the action... but it sounds amazing... I don;t even know why... it just sounds great...
Just such lush clean tones... especially the neck pick up... and blistering rock tone, just with a bit of gain... it's the perfect guitar for me... even if it plays like ass...<.<
Also the Teisco Spectrum 5... because look at that thing...<.<

Some of the ones on Steve Vai's Guitar page [http://www.vai.com/steves-guitars/?nggpage=2] are awesome! The 3 headed one, and the one that looks like a flame... 
But my favourite guitars ever are:
Seasick Steve's homemade guitars from cigar boxes or hubcaps!

Sorry, the pinnacle of "guitar technology", as far as SGs are concerned is the Dean Splittail.Magic Muffin Man said:
Simply because it eliminates the issue of being neck-heavy. And it plays awesome.
Pretty awful poll options tbh, though a poll is ridiculous in the first place. Far too many choices.
Anyway, fuck electric guitars, once you strip out the electrics they all sound the same. Acoustics is where it's at if you really want to pick favourites.
Mine's my Dad's Tanglewood. It plays like flowing water and sounds like a dream. I've specifically told my Dad that he's giving it to me in his will.

I'm a bassist by trade and only use a guitar for writing, my guitar I have now is a Ibanez RG350EXZ but I do not like playing guitar.
Basses on the otherhand, I love 'em. Right now I play a Fender American Standard Jazz bass (which I'm sure most of you already know what it looks like) but if I could have any bass it would be a Warwick Corvette NT 2010, which looks absolutely stunning!

Sexeh... those are some of my favorite designed instruments... just really classy... even in six string form...<.<Dr.Susse said:
Any opinions on how the guitar version looks from the six stringers here?
Though I still prefer a Rickenbacker 4001... and it's 6 string equivalent...<.<
:O the vintage ones in particular are absolutely lovely instruments... just a great amount of detail in every inch of the bass... plus you've got that great tone and general versatility of it all... there's a reason they're so popular...<.<Dr.Susse said:
Though personally not a fan of the giant ash treys they have... always hit my hand on it... seeing as how I'm one of those dastardly pick users and flop around on it like it's a rhythm guitar...
and yeah I guess everyone got one after FLCL... it's why I got a Flying V... even though it's probably my least favorite guitar now...<.<
