    Guitar 1: Home built VA spec super strat with EMGs, tele wiring in pos 3 and quilted maple body. Guitar 2: Yamaha MSG with custom Armstrong pickups. Guitar 3: Takamine 12 string acoustic.

    Tough question. Depends on what stage of development or state of mind tonally and sonically. May change but as of now I have to have my Ibanez AZ s style. And probably a T style and my Yamaha revstar and I would be good for now.

    I have too many guitars.
    Number one spot goes to Gibson Nighthawk standard 3 I have two, a 96 and a 2012 re-issue.
    Number two would be my PRS NF3 from 2010. (my small bodied strat)
    Three is tricky, so many contenders...
    This week it goes to my Knaggs Chesapeake Choptank. Kind of a tele with strat electronics.
    Not big on semi-hollow and I'm too small a frame to be comfy with a 335 style.

  • @EMWoodworking

    anything with humbuckers and splits (HSS, HSH, HH) (i use a strandberg boden 6 trem), a comfortable 8 string with good split tones, and a good acoustic. i’m not picky.

  • @andrewbecker3700
    @andrewbecker3700 3 місяці тому

    Almost any seasoned guitarist will fall back on the staples. LesPaul, strat, tele. Then semi hollow and shredder styles are next in line. I'm giving this NF3 a try. It's different.

  • @GitShiddy
    @GitShiddy 3 місяці тому

    My 1 & 2 are easy; it's my P90 Revstar & my MJT thinline Tele. But number 3 is tricky, do I go Baritone? Do I Go Hollowbody Gretsch? Do I just go with a Dreadnaught? Or an ES-alike? Another Tele/Revstar? Not entirely sure....which is probably why I have several number 3s.

  • @SlemmigFisk
    @SlemmigFisk 3 місяці тому

    If I were to acquire a third guitar it would be something with dual humbuckers, such as revstar, LP, PRS McCarty or ES 339 (whichever I find first that I like). A dual humbucker guitar would complement the guitars I already own, a Yamaha Revstar (P90s) and an American Vintage II strat, nicely.

    Heritage 535 (335 style), G&L Strat or Tele styles, you decide if Tele or Strat, electrically to me a 335, and either a Strat or Tele. I only have the Heritage and really don't care to own any Fenders or any more Gibsons, had them all! I have a Godin SA Multiac electric nylon and looking for a real quality nylon nonelectric guitar, 2 electrics and my nylons to me is all you need unless you want a steel string acoustic guitar, and you'll have every great sound available. You only need 2 electrics, my humble opinion.

    Tele, Baum Wingman, Les Paul Special (P90). But, it would suck not having a Strat and 335. Hard to choose between a Les Paul Special and a P90 335. But I definitely play my Wingman more than my Strat. Much as I love the Strat, I almost always use it for neck pickup, only rarely the middle or fourth and almost never the bridge or second - and the Wingman Trem & beefier bridge tone is so better than the Strat. Haven't tried the Baum Celestor, but if it's as good as the Wingman could go Tele, Celestor, 335 (P90).

I almost put my Duesenberg in its place, but I think a really good 335 would probably win out ultimately. If not, I've always got the Duesenberg! lol My Les Paul is really good, but its small body keeps it off the list, because I play sitting down, and it's less comfortable than playing bigger body guitars.

    I think the easiest to pull off for me would be Strat, something with two humbuckers, and something with two P90s. If I wanted to really get interesting though I could do Strat, something with a humbucker in the bridge and P90 (or humbucker sized P90) in the neck, and then something fun like a Taylor T5 or a big box hollowbody Gretsch or something. Maybe even an acoustic.

      Right! I would consider giving up a couple of guitars to play as well as our boy here!
      They told me that if I practiced enough, I could be that good too? They lied.

      @@ScottsGuitar definitely. I never understood when I was younger, why I got to a certain level and then stagnated until I heard Steve Via say he practiced 8 hrs a day!! I said, well, I guess I never will get to that level, lol.

    I'd go SSS Stratocaster, HH Les Paul and Tele with p90's.

    tele, classical, dreadnaught ... maybe swap the last out with a bass guitar. If you mean electric then tele, strat (or superstrat) and lespaul will do the trick

    I’d go 345/355, tele and a good acoustic. Strats do something else, so I’ve got one of those
    But you can definitely cover all bases with those choices
