Show us your #1!

[fivewatter]

My #1 is a 62 RI MIA. (Left)

[thx1138]

Seems like a good place for a first post. I just traded in my '88 Les Paul Reissue and picked up a brand new '57 Reissue Strat. Never could get used to the feel of the LP, so I decided to go back to a Strat and man am I happy. It's really a joy to play. Anyway, here are a couple pictures:

Tonedrip...that's a great '66!

1966 ..... my #1 always ...funny, my favorite year of music as well (Revolver)

Tonedrip,
Did you ever hear of Tommy Castro? His guitar is basically identical to yours. Absolutely beautiful

[grandturk]

Here's my #1 Strat - it doesn't get much play, but I pull it out every once in a while:

Man thats to bad with a strat like that!

[dpritch87]

Here's my number one strat:



That's a really bad picture of it, though. It's got a different pickguard on it now too. My other main guitar:



I have a couple more "main" guitars that I can't find pictures of.

Nice Pro-Tone.

Are you Marty McFly?

[dpritch87]

Haha, was he playing one of those? I didn't even realize. I love it for the feel of the neck, and the bridge. The rest of the guitar is way too 80s for me.

Anyway, the protone is great. My only gripe is that it could stand bigger frets. And after ten years of having it as my main guitar, I may just fix that. I've done a bunch to it over the years...that picture was in the "third phase". Hah. I also have two '83 Am Std strats that belong to my dad.

[Adamcaster]

Those old Ibanez are cool. I used to know a guy that collected them, he must've had 20! Coincidentally, I watched "Back To The Future" last night and he had one exactly the same as yours - same model, same colour. Weird.

How can it be your #1 if you hardly play it? My interpretation of #1 is the axe you grab for when its time to play, not the one you would be the most proud to hang on the wall.

[Guitar_Mc]

It's all about interpretation.

I have a '81 JV Squier Strat 57 RI that was my only guitar for years, gigging or in the studio. It's not the one I reach for now (that's old Piney) but in my heart, that's my #1 guitar. I'll never sell it, and I'll probably be buried with it.

Thats right Fezz, its all about interpretation. Of course, your initial interpretation (post #17) was Old Piney.

[flintpunk]

Makes complete sense! I have a similar situation!

[Guitar_Mc]

Fezz, thats OK, I can't be too critical. I have 2 #1s. I swear each one is my favorite when I pick them up. They both get a lot of play.



Its the 2 G&Ls in the front. Of course, when I pick up the carvin that is laying down behind them, it is usually my #1 for a few days.

It's my #1 Strat - my go-to axe is a Charvel Model 4 -

Nice! My Carvin has the EMG 81/85s in it. Everyone needs a shreader. I just wish I could shread.

[dpritch87]

Here are my other strats. I don't play them as much because (as mentioned earlier) they don't really belong to me. But, I like them enough that I'd buy one to use as a main.



They are both '83s as far as I know. Those serial numbers from that era are rather conspicuous.

[radio_active]

Heres my favorite, been my # 1 for 10 years

[pickaguitar]

[radio_active]

it was anyway

[CocoTone]

[hudpucker]

Number 1?

Hmmm...it's probably one of these:


1997 CS Cunetto '60 relic

or


1994 Hamer Studio

[flintpunk]

Wow Hud, that's a wild looking bridge! Who makes it?

[hudpucker]

It's a Wilkinson. It's chrome-plated brass. With my Peterson I can get it to intonate pretty close to where it should be but without true saddles the best I can do is approximate. Though I'm hesitant to alter the guitar much further (sounds so damned good already) I'm toying with the idea of putting a TonePros bridge on instead so that those meedly-meedly moments north of fret 12 aren't so hit and miss.

[brianf]

LOL!

Actually, if I had to have only one guitar, it would be my L-5.

My friend John is playing it here:

This is still my favourite player

But I could not part with this as it was a 25th wedding anniversary present

[58dutchie]

If I really have to choose one (and I own a lot!): this one, a 1999 Metropolitan Tanglewood Deluxe in Pearl Mint Green. She has two Rio Grande humbuckers and is a Les Paul-eater!!!

[humbuxx]

Well, since the original requirement to show only one axe seems to have gone by the wayside, here are my 2 #1 axes:
- all original wine red 1996 LP Standard;
- "Gilmourcaster" assembled by myself.
Love 'em both!

[Dallas]

Funkies looks like mine!!!

[yz25098uk]

[clayville]

Man.... what a great thread for eye candy! Lots of really fine looking guitars.





And, err, I can't help but notice two 356s and a 336 making the grade.
