What is your most versatile guitar?

[Jethro Rocker]

What guitar or guitars are your most versatile? I have more than one when it comes down to it for different reasons.

Godin xTSA.

Taking the guitar synth capability out because you have to add one to the equation to make it work -
Has piezo acoustic pickup with built in preamp and 3 band EQ.
HSH setup with Coil tap on neck in position 2.
Non locking trem bridge that works extremely well and stays in tune.
At one point I had it set to a shim (has a cavity in body) so it was not floating. The trem was way too hard to push down but it did allow for detunung with a trem.

Also the non trem version.

Alex Lifeson Les Paul

Floyd Rose equipped Les Paul. Has series / parallel on each pickup so one can set the amp properly in parallel then give it some more goods by switching to series.
Has piezo acoustic pickup too. Only issue is it is very bass heavy, high strings aren't really loud enough but no setting for this. I will have to set tne clean channel accordingly to compensate.
Still, what a feature laden git.

The Mockingbird. Has a FR, 2 coil taps, a phase switch (which I never use cause I hate outta phase) and that 5 position switch. It changes different caps for different tones.
What I like doing with that is the setting beside "normal" has the least output so again set amp so it has ample crank in that position and switch to normal for more oomph in solos.

Perhaps a little goofy but the 1979 Les Paul Artist. Has Moog electronics, thus the goofy...
Even without that (compressor - works well, expander- meh and treble boost - too extreme.
It has active EQ. Bass and Treble boost/cut. Not a bad thing.
TP 6 fine tune bridge

Probably be either the G400 or Strat….. or both.

My Traditional, but I don't have a lot of choices at the moment. I blame it on the Jim Wagner pickups, they're amazing.

Between my LP, the SG and the Strat, I'd give the edge in versatility to my Strat, what with the whammy thing and the built in Sustainer.

I keep thinking I need a set of his pups.

I’d have to say it’s the Yamaha SA2200. Tone controls are push/push for coil split. Works very well.

All of my guitars have been chosen and set up to just do one thing. TeH BrOoTaLs!

I do have 2 guitars, however, with notable neck pickups: a Les Paul with a P90 neck and my Dean V Custom has an SD-59. Those could theoretically make some very nice "other" sounds that I don't ever make...so I guess one of those would be "most versatile?"

If I had my druthers.... All my guitars would only have a single volume and a bridge pup.

Not only the most versatile I own, but the most versatile guitar I’ve ever owned. The guitars natural resonance and sustain are remarkable, and with the EMG SPC you can add and subtract mid-range til your heart’s desire. Been through a lot of guitars, but I’ve kept this one for 30 years. From ear-shredding highs to fat lows, this one has played hard rock, blues, funk, ska, hip-hop, surf, jazz… every style my clients asked for.

My Telecaster Deluxes are the most versatile, hands down. They sound amazing in all positions, in humbucker or single-coil or mixed. They do it all, unless you need to have a vibrato for something.
