Favourite Guitar Body Style?

[munizfire]

sexplorers!

 

[SeventhSlinger]

V's and single cut LP styles.

 

[HurrDurr]

Anything Fender, but to be specific I'd say my top 5 would be:

1) Jazzmaster
2) Strat
3) Tele
4) Anything & everything with an 'offset' body design
5) Classic Hollowbodies

EDIT: Anything in the Headless + Ergonomic category is also a WIN!

 

[Blue1970Cutlass]

1.) Schecter Tempest ...not a strat, not an offset, just awesome

2.) Les Paul / ESP Eclipse / & other single-cuts

3.) Explorer / Destroyer / Kelly etc.

4.) Uh, other? Iceman, Rhoads, some of the BC Rich shapes

 

[MrPepperoniNipples]

super strat or bust

 

[Andless]

GKG Deltawing a la Leo Scala.

 

[gunch]

The usual Ibanez RG superstrat, really.

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

I'd like this if it didn't have that hook in the bottom


I love LOVE LOVE The offset waist carved tops with short cutaways like the Warrior, Sabre Wraith and ESP Formula and Pot Belly

Weren't Warrior Guitars the really nutty Christians that screened people before they built them guitars though

Oh yes.

 

[Alex Kenivel]

1. Straty
2. Explorer
3. Crazy Futuristic and Out of My Price Range
4. Large hollowbody.

 

[fastmerc]

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

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

Geez, I have a Parallaxe but that one is down right SEXY!

 

[chickenxnuggetz91]

I don't know if this count's because I have various body style preferences. I suppose my dream guitars would be somewhat bare-boned. If any gloss, very little. No fancy binding on the fretboard, tone controls away from the bridge and passive pickups. A few examples

 

[broj15]

super strats, especially ones with dramatic bevels like the RGD, then probably offset strats like the suhr modern of the jackson broderic, then jazzmasters, and last but far from least would be tele's. Honestly though, I'll play anything that isn't shaped in such a way that makes it uncomfortable.

 

[Ricky Roro]

(In different contexts)

PRS S2 Singlecut
Jackson SLS3 Soloist
Ibanez SZ320
Fender Telecaster


Strange... This list closely resembles my guitar wish-list...

Now I am not sure whether I listen too much with my eyes or look too closely at the sounds.

I generally like 6 strings but I want to get a 7-string guitar eventually. My reasoning on more strings than that is that if I am going to get 8 then I had might as well get 9--but probably not 10.

 

[Daeniel]

No one said Les Paul already?

 

[frahmans]

Fender performer and similar shapes - Parker and majesty are performer-esque

 

[TauSigmaNova]

ESP/Schecter Arch-top superstrats
Jackson Kelly/Explorers
ESP Horizon III
EBMM Majesty
PRS Custom 22/24
BC Rich Mockingbird
Rhoads V

 

[DarkWolfXV]

ESP Eclipse and ESP Horizon are the best :3

 

[Konfyouzd]

The usual Ibanez RG superstrat, really.

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

I'm pretty sure I didn't like this guitar when I first saw it but now I'm not so sure. Maybe I'm thinking of the Falchion... (sp?)

 

[Andrenighthound]

I like super strat styles the best. Then teles..then les pauls

 

[Sang-Drax]

1. Probably PRS's - either SC or standard
2. Les Paul
3. KxK SC7
3. Mayones Regius 7
5. Schecter Blackjack/Hellraiser 7

It's somewhat unfair to compare 6-strings and 7s. I mean, I'm not really a fan of 7-string LPs, but Regius-6s doesn't look so amazing, IMO. It's as if their design was better fitted to more tuners and a wider fretboard

 

[Rise]

I think Explorers will always be my favourite. Comfortable when sitting, balanced when standing. Saying that, I haven't touched my Explorer since I got my Les Paul.

Honourable mention to superstrats for being badass and sensible. Flying Vs and Randy Rhoads are great too.

Now that I think about it, there's not many shapes I actively dislike.
