james90 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 parker fly deluxe That's a very strange list though - it's not particularly easy to get your hands on a '59 les paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 true, just nothing to do in work, what you played but maybe not the same year? In that case fender telecaster gibson es-335 (the one I played was a 1969 i think) gibson les paul fender jazzmaster (modern japanese reissue) gibson sg standard parker fly deluxe (1995 model in bright fucking red) ernie ball music man axis (a new one, only had it for a short time) i think that's it actually, looking back, i did play a late 50's LP junior once. it had a ridiculous amount of fretwear though, and didn't play that great.

Crowella Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Strictly going through the list. What I have at least played (not owned) Gibson Explorer (Perfect posture and power my ass, wasn't great). Gretsch White Falcon (aaaaaahhhhhh! ) Yamaha Pacifica 112V (When set up, they are decent guitars, an upgrader's dream) Gibson SG Standard (A mate has it, played it many times, I'll pass, not a fan) Oh and Any Random Piece of Crap. I like to think it was the Teisco my mate had, because that was so much fun and a good little toan machine Great with a slide too. Have to admit, the list is a bit unusual, a lot are unobtainable to the regular person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haze015 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 The "Gibson SG Standard" completely discredits the entire list as it has changed massively over the years. If you've only played a modern SG Standard, you know nothing of how good those guitars actually were in the past. 60's SG Standards and Juniors are easily the best guitars I've ever played, the modern day shit is SHIT. Avoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avoid. Didn't know that, so thanks... it makes sense in my head. The modern one I played was not that good. Sadly, my friend plays that over his Godin, which I played many, many times and is one of the best guitars I have played Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean/muse Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I played the D'Angelico at Rudys guitars here in NYC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impulse 101 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I've played a crapload of them. At least one version of every Fender and Gibson on the list but the one that has escaped me all of these years is the Gretch White Falcon. Possibly the coolest guitar ever built. The coolest guitar on that list that I've ever played was a real 1962 Ric 360-12. I recorded a song with one back in the early 90's. Total euphoria, I got to keep it for two days and I'm pretty sure that some of my DNA is still on the back of it. JT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avoid. Yeah, I had a 60's SG jr which was pretty nice. The new guitars don't compare, even the custom shop stuff. I'm never going to buy a gibson that's newer than the early 2000's (especially since they started chambering les pauls in 2003). The stuff they make now is just disappointing... if I want a new gibson style guitar, I'll get a tokai or something from japan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil. Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Random piece of crap Dan Armstron Plexi (was not impressed tbh...)

This, I seem to mainly want rare guitars and as soon as I play them I'm usually disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave. Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 The best guitars are the shit ones. My guitar is worth €150 (the cost of a used original+aftermarket parts) but I've been offered €300 for it. I'd never sell it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
