Why ES 335 type guitar is Number 1 for me. Cite me your number 1's

[CabanaBoy]

Definitely a Steve Marriott fan and also Alvin Lee

I like that guys guitar playing. Now that I think of it, I played similar to it when I was younger. An artist/cartoonist drew a picture of me playing guitar once and my fingers were a blur with smoke coming off the fret board. He gave it too me. Somewhere thru out the years I lost it. Ya, I can't play like that no more. Blast from the past memory, man

I actually touched Alex's guitar that he played in the video below at the Hard Rock Cafe in Toronto at the Rogers Centre where the Toronto Blue Jays play. My DNA is on it now.

somehow this conjures an image (in early prototype / stick figure mock up form) of @eSGEe trying to climb onto or over whatever the display is like and rub his junk on it.

I've always loved punk and angst-y music, aswellas rock 'n roll, so the SG does it for me.

(Not saying that a LP junior or meaty Telecaster couldn't too.)

My number one guitars are Gibson SGs and Les Pauls. The reasons are many, but I guess the most important ones can be found in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. The trio of Eric Clapton (Les Paul), Peter Green (Les Paul) and Mick Taylor (SG), on the "Beano", "Hard Road" and " Crusade" records respectively, probably did more for my interest in tone than any other players.

The Gibson Scale Length and the fat 1950's Neck Profiles...I can tolerate just about any body shape....although some are more comfortable.

One of my favorite Clash tunes is definitely this one

I sure did love Bob Marley, and Joe Strummer does a nice job with Redemption Song.

I do miss Joe.

I posted this in my Prog thread, but Steve Howe seriously rips it on his ES 345 here.
