Tell us about your one favourite guitar

[thegreengod]

The first guitar Grand dad ever bought with his GI bill after getting out of the service. Bequeathed to me after he passed away. A good talented buddy in the states played it for two years on some recordings and on tour. I wanted it played hard and toured. Now shes back played occasionally as she's still a work of art. With factory original bigsby and bowtie bridge. No need for introduction. Y'all know what it is. One of only 3 50s LP I own.I mainly play its ugly stepsister the white LP/SG. Thank God its good weather today to bring it out. Now unlesh your inner Neil Young thats it for now.

Out of storage for you Senors! Old friends 1956 and 1961 Fender Stratocasters..

Is that a factory original finish on the '61?

So, these guitars are all in NZ? Want to do museum together...?

Yes and Yes Sir its factory original. Sadly the case isnt. It was like that when I got it and Im never too fuzzed about the case as long as it fits well and protects it. When Im next up north we shall do a museum like type. Or like that Seven Decades thing they are doing in the UK.

[thegreengod]

yes - definitely do your own thread with lots of pics and info!

P.S.S Have you received a marriage proposal from any of us yet?!?!?!?!?! hahahahaha

haha just glad to met fellow people as crazy as me. For awhile I was the resident crazy dude constantly defending the question How many guitars does a man need lol...I dont have alot really to warrant my own thread. Ill leave that to you my good Sir's. You have to forgive my photography skills all done with a phone Im afraid not quite good with it yet.

I am living in Hotel Illness Mr. Grant

I believe you have it worse than I...which is comforting. The only gentlemanly thing I can offer to do is to equalise the condition somewhat between us by taking receipt from you some of those symptom-inducing pieces of wood.

LOL he means me, and it's been ages since I've logged in as someone else for shits and giggles

On an american motorcycle forum I used to be on I used to have multiple users who would argue against each other and the rednecks would love the ones who agreed with me and then slowly I started getting them to agree with me on stuff, they'd lose the plot over someone changing their opinion

I've been Bg for months

Maybe he meant Joe Bonamassa?
