If there could be only one...

[Beagle]

I agree. It's an impossible question. At this point in my life, I have some guitars I really like, but could live without, but 3 that I can't. I'm not gonna let any one of those 3 go for any reason. Nope, not gonna do it.

I have to say this one




for reasons completely beyond my control.

I don't even think I could narrow it down to 10!

No doubt, it would be my '94 Ibanez S540. It not sound like a Gibson but it's the best guitar I own.

Love that! I have a 91 540SLTD that's on my "sell and utterly regret it" list. But, I never play it 'cause the middle single coil gets in the way of my sloppy picking technique. It started life in red, but I had a buddy paint it in Corvette "Blue Me Away". Honestly, I'm tempted to get one of those Guitar Wall Cases and hang it for art.

I did the whole, run the pup down into the body thing, but that just bugs me even more since it looks weird. So, for now, it just sits in a case in the closet...

Mine it's S540LTD too but it's black. When it was new you can saw a flame maple top on It. It has different pickups than your Ibanez. All original parts except volume pot, bridge springs (OEM parts) and Dunlop frets.

no, just......no I at LEAST get 2 (1 guitar and 1 bass)

and even then ........... no, just, no

There ya go, you see,you do like pointy guitars after all

Yeah! But no all pointy guitars. It needs to be a very good guitar with pasive pickups

You should try USA or Japanese made Jacksons, I thin you will like them.

Yes, or buy my SL2Q MAH I have for sale. Amazing guitar, but I have a white version I reach for when I want to play a Soloist.

That Jackson looks noooice. You know, Ive been searching trem arm forever for my V and I cant find it anywhere with matching finish. Spent about a week on internet try to find it.

Totally agree.

I tryed japan Jackson. Great guitars but my S540LTD BK it's better. You should try a 90's Japan Ibanez.

 

[eSGEe]

I didnt watch my buddies die in Nam to ONLY OWN ONE FRIGGIN GUITAR!

I have they are badass, I do like Ibanez, I will get one some point, maybe Steve Vai’s sig Gem white or black one.

I tryed some Vai Ibanez signatures. Great guitars but I don't like scaloped necks. I'll prefer a Satriani sig. Ibanez guitar than a Vai sig. Ibanez guitar.

I want to try scalloped neck Satriani’s cool to like mirror one.

They are high expensive mirror look guitars from Satriani. Never I tryed one.

 

[jtcnj]

I hope I dont have to make that decision.

 

[guitarweasel]

Out of all my guitars and I have quite a few, this always seems to be my "Go To" guitar.
