If you could only have one guitar, what would it be?

How about a modeling guitar to go with your modeling amp. That way you could have any guitar you want with any amp you want and never have to do without.

Definetely my Gibson SG! Perhaps not the most versatile guitar, but certainly the best.

For me it would be my new custom for sure. My LP would be my pick for a store bought guitar, we’ve been together for a long time.

[Maggot Brain]

Eh, any ol Strat.

 

[Trumpet Rider]

I might go with this one. I designed it as an exercise in learning PhotoShop.



Superstrat in the LP mode; i.e., mahogany body, maple top, LP scale length, ebony board, PAF's, etc.

For an acoustic:

Gibson L 20 Koa.............1 of 30(?)

Rare.

Probably this Nitefly.. I know, it's weird but it plays great. Stable tuning, amazing tone for the build and the neck is perfect for these old bear claws.

These guys have got my attention now, especially the Coronet. Get one if you don't have a P90 in you stable. Something magic about P90s..

But then the Gibbys.. IDK.. Can't really say which one to be the keeper.

It is hard to pick just one.
If only one then it would be my '78 MusicMan Stingray Bass. I've had it since new. It's been with me through thick and thin. A real battle axe in every since of the word. If I could have a second it would be my 2010 Les Paul Standard. Still a very difficult choice.
If I was stranded on a desert island then maybe the LTD HybridII. It plays well and I would know the rest would be home safe.

Outside the box thinking right there. Well played!

The Bunker MVP I built while working for Bunker Guitars. It's aged quite nicely over the years...better than I have. lol


RIP Dave Bunker Sr.

Axe my friend, I don’t think you could pick one room of guitars much less one guitar. Not a bad problem too have!
Is that a “parlor” size guitar? If I ever get another acoustic it will be a small body like one of those for sure. Much handier.

No one guitar can cover every base.
I still need more.
No pickup changes, coil taps, pedals, or amp settings is going to make any of the guitars I have sound like a Strat.
I need a Strat...

Oh, I have one of those exact models, same year, finish, everything. Great Strat! Congrats!

Thanks.
Has all my checkboxes except flame/plus top.
Only plus tops I was seeing out there are MIMs - nothing against that, but a US was on my wish list.
Almost went with a Warmoth flame top build, but after pricing up all the components, I saw this on GC for about the same total.
Got a decent deal within my 75% rule, and I just don't have the time for a build right now.
Shipping from CA to PA, so NGD some time next week.
Now I just need 1 more...

It's just standard ESP, but if I could have only one, it would be the top hand crafted ESP M.

Thank you.

Yes it is a "parlor" guitar.

It's one of those hard to find Gibson guitars.

It's a "parlor" size with the body depth of a J 200.

VERY rare and I have a letter from Walter Carter verifying it's build.

Awesome keeper, very hard to replace. Does it play and sound as good as it looks? Beauties like that are so hard to stumble on these days, and pricey when you do.

Not bad, good job. Has more Bass appointments than guitar, but nice job on the spalted roseburst and fade design.
