Favourite Guitar Body Style?

[dein848]

Just wondering what everyone's favourite body styles are and number of strings etc. Let's just discuss what you'd love to see in a guitar

 

[M3CHK1LLA]

x's & v's

6's & 7's

 

[jokerpanda]

i will go with the rg shape of ibanez or the jp12
7 strings

i would kill for a red sparkle H-H UV with clear pickguard, maple freatboard and the dissapearing pyramids in red

 

[kamello]

RGD, RGA, EBMM JPX, PRS (Custom and Dweezil), Ibanez Iceman, Skervessen Swan

 

[iamnoah262]

The JPX and forward bodystyle is my favorite of all time. I think it's prettiest in a 7 string.

Warrior

^Basically Prs, but out of all the slight prs variations these have been my favorite for a long time


BC Rich Eagle

^I would LOVE to do a custom someday!!

Ibanez talman

^"Making Fender Jazzmasters/jaguars look ugly since 1994"

And last but not least ( and the only one I currently own..although this one isn't mine)

Ibanez S Series

^Super sleek, lightweight. Looks Awesome sounds Amazing!!

Those are picks

The EBMM Majesty 7.

Most comfy guitar I've ever strapped on. Most comfy ANYTHING I've ever strapped on.

EDIT: I would agree that the Ibanez S bodies are a close second.

 

[HaloHat]

Anything except a Les Paul

 

[Syriel]

anything Super-Strat, PRS double cuts, and the Strandberg Boden.

6/7 strings for me. I'm still trying to get used to 8.

 

[Pikka Bird]

Ibanez talman

Eternal insta-schwiinnngg! I may never buy a brand new guitar again, but all the same I still wish they'd bring some of these back.

 

[OmegaSlayer]

Ibanez 540pII

 

[Dayn]

The usual Ibanez RG superstrat, really.

But, I must say I like their Halberd... very curvy.

 

[rahahoo]

Mainly superstrats and any new ergonomic form like Strandberg, XEN, Skervesen...

 

[cwhitey2]

My fave body styles in general:
1) RG
2) Les Paul
3) SA

For sixers in like the Les Paul shape and SA's

7 strings and above = RG all day.

 

[MoshJosh]

Explorer!

I really like the more modern variations of super strats like these:

6, 7, or 8, doesn't really matter to me.

 

[kaaka]

Strat derived bodies. I really like classic vintage fenders, but also newer variations like Suhr, Blackmachine, Skervesen, Daemoness, KXK and so on.

Les Paul style is very good looking also. The traditional gibson shape or the older versions of PRS Singlecuts.

To mention is that these body styles very easily get very ugly with the wrong adjustments like many versions from different luthiers and companys that has tried to improve the body shape or adjusted to avoid getting sued.

 

[jerm]

Superstrats.

Skervesen Raptor 7

Blackat

Blackmachine B7

Daemoness Cimmerian 7

Ran Crusher 7

Carvin DC700

mayones duvell 7

It depends on the day. The Horizon (and similar shapes - archtop superstrats) is my dead favorite hands down. The right blend of modern and classic.

The Gibson-style Flying V shape is up there too.

I actually love most Gibson shapes, but I hate playing them aside from the V... Les Pauls are uncomfortable as hell, Explorers are worse. But so cool looking...

Of course I kinda prefer the ESP version...

Also Warlocks. No clue why. I just love them. Must be the 15-year-old inside me (or the Vhyle inside me).

Only picked that pic because I own that Warlock... such a POS but I love the shape. Sanded it right down, though, haha.

Also a big fan of offset shapes. Jazzmasters, Horizon-IIIs, Mystiques, Jazz basses... it's all right up my alley.
