Jeff IS the man

[some guy]

5. I've always thought so.

"Clapton Is God"
...............- but JB plays better.

[asthmaticeog]

2. I have one of each and I refuse to choose between them.

So there.

[MrScorpio]

4. Chicken

:spray:

[Taverner]

12. Although I love a Strat, and love the Les Paul...let me throw in in for another beast

The Rickenbacker



For fumble fingers like myself, there is no other choice...

[ghostsofgiants]

16. If I played guitar, I'd probably go for a Rickenbacker.

I'm considering a Rickenbacker as my next bass though.

[Taverner]

21. Ahhh Rickenbacker make some VERY fine Bass Guitars

Geddy Lee plays a Rick

[ghostsofgiants]

24. I was originally inspired to want a Rickenbacker by Peter Hook.

Then I found out his was actually a replica made by a company called Hondo, haha. But I still want an authentic Rick.

13. A sentimental vote for the telecaster. Two nights ago I dreamt I was a roadie/guitar tech....

for CSNY. What is odd that I'm not guitar tech, rather a life long guitar hack.

[MrScorpio]

14. Flicking my lighter

Holding it high

[triguy46]

15. Well, I have a confession...

I don't play a telecaster. I'm a hack, I play a 1975 US made Fender Bullet. At least its not a "squire".

17. Gibson SG

[triguy46]

18. I think I've noticed more SGs in bands in the past 5 years than when it was introduced.

And it MUST be red.

[Throd]

19. Sigh, why must they always be red?

[triguy46]

20. Because in my mind I'm still 13 years old, in the Toon Shop in Prairie Village, its 1965

And I lusted for it. I never did like the gold pickups though.

[Throd]

22. It was the Woodstock movie that did it for me

Watching Carlos Santana strangle an SG to death playing "Soul Sacrifice" made me pick up a guitar in the first place. I was about 13.

[triguy46]

23. You're right, he did start on and SG...

Somewhere in the past 5 days I've seen a video of Santana from that era. You're right on target.

[KitchenWitch]

31. My son has an SG

it is an awesome guitar.

[flvegan]

33. Yes! SG...good enough for Angus, good enough for me.

[enigmatic]

25. Fender Hollow Body Telecaster

[MrScorpio]

26. Ah, yes

A classic!

[enigmatic]

27. It literally sings

I've never had a guitar playbetter, even the Rickenbacker 401 I had long ago. You can play everything on it...

[KitchenWitch]

28. No contest - the Gibson!

[Fenris]

32. Each does different things.

Sometimes you need the heft and sustain of a Les Paul, sometimes you need the glassy tone and trem capability of a Strat.

It's all good.
