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

[BenjaminW]

One of these two would be cool.

 

[Seabeast2000]

One guitar forever? I don't know, something durable and stable with SS frets ..and forearm/belly cuts.

 

[Yul Brynner]

Gretsch 6120RHH. Loved that guitar ever since I first laid eyes on the magazine ad.

 

[guitaardvark]

My Ibanez S1520FB. It's beat to shit, and on paper, I should hate everything about it. However, everything about it is perfect to me and it feels like it was made exactly for my hands.

 

[Rosal76]

Ibanez RG3727FZ.

7 string will take care of both the 7 and 6 string music I play.
Love flame maple tops.
Assuming the neck is thinner than most 7 strings but not sure how it compares to the Dean Rusty Cooley 7 string guitars.

 

[gunch]

Viger GV Wood

 

[Athor]

Currently that guitar dont exist but it would be

BC Rich Gunslinger
Blue Crackle finish
Kalher trem
Grover tuners
All chrome hardware
DiMarzio SuperDist/Super2 pickups

Simple but effective

 

[TheWarAgainstTime]

Definitely my Carvin TL60! I play it 90% of the time as it is

 

[devastone]

Ibanez RG3727FZ.

7 string will take care of both the 7 and 6 string music I play.
Love flame maple tops.
Assuming the neck is thinner than most 7 strings but not sure how it compares to the Dean Rusty Cooley 7 string guitars.

It's been a few years but IIRC the neck on the Rusty Cooley models I tried was thinner than an Ibanez.

 

[BrailleDecibel]

My PRS SE CU24 7-string would easily win this contest. It just feels so damn solid, sounds warm no matter if it's clean or distorted, but just in the right way where it's not muddy. I will own this guitar forever.

 

[Kobalt]

Because I wish ONE guitar would truly meet ALL of my desired specs...and I know they would deliver:

A custom shop Jackson. As generic and desirable my answer can be.

 

[JustinRhoads1980]

Something with a floyd rose and has THE sound that I want from it all and all. I haven't found 'that' guitar for me that I just can't put down or blows my mind when I play it. Sure I have some real nice playing ones, but I have yet to find that guitar that has that certain mojo within it.

Definitely would like it to be a USA Jackson

 

[erdiablo666]

Mayones Duvell 7 27" scale. I've never played one but hey, a man can dream.

 

[littlebadboy]

If I may ask, what is that beautiful beast?

With what I have currently, I can live with just my mod'ed Squier M-80 alone.

 

[Lord Voldemort]

Waiting 8-12 weeks is hard, man.

 

[Shoeless_jose]

This gets as versatile as I would ever need... well obviously I could "need" more, but if I have to choose this is it, 95% of my favourite artists have used Les Pauls at least at some point, and then the Floyd in their for added versatility,

 

[lemeker]

If I could only have one it would be my CS Jackson. It's everything I want in a guitar.

 

[USMarine75]

If I may ask, what is that beautiful beast?

@pondman custom creation... although I feel like I've been waiting forever for delivery, so his yelp rating may go down.

 

[Anquished]

Definitely my PRS SVN.

I'll probably never be able to afford a Private Stock so I'm happy to stick with this.

 

[Yul Brynner]

1979 Gibson Flying V Silverburst. I fell in love with it the first time I saw it when I was 16.
