Which guitar would Han Solo play?

Trude

Gigging on Friday night, which as we all know is Star Wars Day (May the Fourth).

I'll be in Empire Strikes Back Han garb - blue jacket, white shirt, brown trousers.

Your choices are:

Guild M75 Aristocrat
Nash Keef-style Tele
57 Historic LPC
EJ Strat
MIM 72 Tele Custom 

Which of these would have the best chance of making the Kessel Run in under 12 parsecs?

Play the MIM 72 Tele Custom would he not?

JD50

LPC surely? Black and white attire

The Tele play he would, a damn fine evening of song, he would have.

Ah, but which one, young Padwan?

The tele custom for the same reason.  A simple colour scheme, free from bling

None of the above. Go buy a Gretch Falcon, black or white, tomorrow!

Matters it does not, play it with awesome certitude he will. Rocked the crowd shall be.

The Tele Custom is the good blaster at your side for sure

At last someone's talking sense!

Tele.

Han would probably go with humbuckers but use a single coil to save the day at the last moment. 

Gretsch Falcon is too posh for a smuggler. Strats would be for sister kissing jedis. The Empire would play Gibsons with appalling quality control that allows a single fighter to destroy an entire company.

A vintage one?

Difficult to play but somehow wonderful. Lots of quirks.  Somehow appropriate to call it “she”.

if it wasn’t for the bling I could see where you were going

I don't know about the guitar, but if Han Solo was the guitarist and Greedo was the drummer.... would Han play just ahead of the beat or just behind it? 

hobbio

Ahead.

DrBob

Roland G707 or battered white Steinberger

Chewy's already got an endorsement deal

The rebel bass obviously.
