If you could have any guitar...

[narad]

Pretty much everything Nolly owns. I am partial to my Ken Lawrence explorers though, for the non-prog.

 

[maliciousteve]

Emil Werstlers PRS Private Stock Modern Eagle but with a chambered body and a Piezo.

 

[Justin Bailey]

Who woulda guessed?

 

[Rook]

.strandberg* 7 or 8.

Swamp Ash body
bolt on Rosewood neck with contoured heel, probably IPNP, ebony board
Luminlay side dots
SS frets
Small fan in the frets (hence multi scale)
DiMarzio pickups (I almost don't care what specifically as long as it's not the TZ7 or PAF7)
Petrucci type 3-way and master volume
Haven't decided on the top, but probably a darker exotic wood (ebony, walnut, figured mahogany, ziricote, I dunno) with an oil finish
Purple hardware


There are about 20 builds in front of mine, so 18-20 Months to go unless Ola quits his job... COME ON OLA!!! .strandberg* is my favourite builder in existence, I can't get over the fantastic design - the time that's gone into everything and how well thought out it is. I don't care if its piss-poor quality (not that they are from what I hear) I just love the whole aesthetic. When I get it, I'll keep the BRJ's and Mayones I should have at that point for variety, but wouldn't be surprised if their uses were made more specific.

 

[Skyblue]

Tosin's strandberg. His new one, not with the mixed scale.

But since this IS the standard guitars sub forum, I'll go for the Guthrie Govan signature model Suhr:

Though I'm slightly leaning to the Rasmus model more, for the simplistic look.

 

[kruneh]

Nolly´s korina/burl maple B2.
No doubt.

 

[BucketheadRules]

Slightly OT but OH MY GOD THAT NECK.

Anyway...

Mine would be my Gibson Flying V, if it had locking tuners, 24 frets and the technology from this:

Because although that Tyler ain't pretty, it has the Line 6 Variax guitar-modelling tech AND loads of alternate tuning sims built in. It's wonderful.

My V is an amazing, amazing guitar but given a couple more frets and that astounding technology it'd be the only guitar I would ever need.

 

[Murmel]

A strat/jazzmaster/Viper/Les Paul with the following specs (I can't decide which of the shapes I like best)

Swamp Ash body
Birdseye maple neck & fretboard (no inlays), satin finish or oil.
Bolt-on with AANJ
25.5"
10-16 compound radius
22 jumbo frets
Something along Ibanez Prestige neck profile, perhaps a little bit thicker
HSS (with a swimming pool route)
Master tone and volume with coil tap on the bridge
Tune-o-matic (non recessed)
Chrome hardware
Black Cherry metallic finish
Black pickguard
White pickups and knobs
70's Fender strat headstock

 

[Into Obsidian]

 

[Blake1970]

David Gilmour's black Strat.

 

[Swyse]

I guess I'd get a PGM200.

 

[Dvaienat]

Something from the Jackson Custom Shop, specs undecided.

 

[HisShadow]

Ibanez RG3120TW but as a sevenstring

 

[Church2224]

Either a CS ESP Horizon NT-II or CS Jackson Soloist Arch top with the following specs-

Alder body
five piece neck with quartersawn maple and walnut fillets
Urban Camouflage
Carbon fiber fretboard
Stainless steel medium jumbo Frets
EMG 85 X series pickups,

or a Guerilla SR7-Longbow in Gash

 

[mgh]

Neck thru Ibanez prestige such as RGT3020 or RGT320Q but with 7 strings and proper DiMarzios...

 

[espman]

An 8 string version of the Parker Adrian Belew sig, but with a purple quilted maple top. Piezo's AND a Line 6 Variax system on an 8, fuck yea

 

[JP Universe]

8 string Strandberg.... i'm number 57 on the list! Hopefully 7 people drop out so I get number 50!

 

[Andromalia]

Hetfield's ESP MX. I'm not into Metallica much anymore, but they still are the band that got me as a fanboy for the longest time.

 

[Moonfridge]

Nolly's Custom Dualality Vik

 

[Atomshipped]

If I had to narrow it down to one, I'd say a 1979-1981 Gibson Les Paul Custom Silverburst. Other than that, a whole bunch of customs and stuff.
