If you could keep only one guitar that you have owned..

[zeegler]

..which would it be, and why? Pics if possible.

It's a tough decision, but if I had to choose only one, I would have to keep my 1982 Aria Pro II CS-400. It's not the prettiest thing in the world, but it stays in tune better than any other guitar I have ever played, never needs intonating, never needs truss rod adjustments, sounds awesome with the stock pickups, and plays like butter. Plus, it suits any type of music.

My white strathead .. I bought it in 1986 and it was my workhorse for many years. My wife jokes that I'll be buried with it ..

Is it all original Kev?

I wouldn't mind cranking out a discount "bark at the moon" on that baby!

it would have to be my ibanez 540S. i have had it since i was 13 years old. it is very versatile. it can sound straty, tele-ish, bluesy, metallic, jazzy....the only guitar i have that is MORE versatile is my brian moore with the piezo/synth bridge.

plus it has a floyd!! and it is neon yellow!! and it is the only guitar i have that is still 100% stock after 20 years!!!!

surprisingly, i have NEVER played it live. it still looks practically brand new!!! i have done countless recording sessions (professional session work as well as with my own bands)....this guitar also has written some of my best songs. it inspired me to become a better player...

hahahaha - it is like an old friend......even though it sits in the case 99% of the time these days!!!!

i only have one crappy picture of it......

here!!!!

I'd have to flip a coin between these two:




The Roxie because it's the single most "live" sounding guitar I've ever played (though I don't love the EMGs) and the Explorer because it has an amazingly huge fat sound. They're both among the best players I've ever had.

Surely somebody is going to use the doubleneck exploit here!

hmm Well since i dont have my San Dimas Strat head any more it would have to be my first Jackson. My 92 Stealth Pro. Versatile, extremely comfortable to play, plays itself, cus it yells at me when i try to play it cus i suck. And it Was what gave me the J/C bug. I've had it for 15 years now. I;ve owned the guitar the second longest out of 60 some ive had. My firt longest is my acoustic my first guitar. I only have crappy pics of it so I'll spare your eyes. lol

Good GOD! Isnt this the video axe? I would kill to have that!
For me.. i wish i could say i "owned" my Brother in Laws PRS Private
Stock...that would be my end all.
But if it were Axes I actaully have owned... my Jackson Saturn.
Too many memories...and its a collectable now and plays great.
Not the hottest tone..but overall a great axe

[AfterForever]

My old squier.. first guitar. Even though it's not that great.. I love still it and play it a lot.
