Favourite guitar

stimpsonslostson

Following on from a mention of my "all time favourite guitar in the whole world"- Bruce Springsteen's Esquire in another thread... What's yours?

Obviously it can be one you own and play or one you lust after whenever you see it.

Pictures are a must!

I don't have one, but every time I see Joe Bonamassa's guitar collection I see several potential candidates.

I quite like explorers.. and firebirds.. and thunderbirds... 

It looks a bit like someone left it leaning against a wall whilst they were painting the ceiling and had a bit of an accident on the fretboard...

But natural wood explorers look great. And flying V's too!

@mikeyrob73 ;

This is what I really like:



But going back to the original topic, something I do lust after, but super super rare, would be a '64 thunderbird in Inverness Green:



Or this, a 1947 Martin 000-28:

Out of the two, I would take the 000-28 every day.

Just love the shape, size, sound and feel of those really old Martin 000's.

I have frequent dreams about Bryce Dessner's 63 Jag







Other than that, Thurston Moore's Jazz is pretty much perfect, too

I always liked Alvin Lee's 335

and Johnny Echols' weird Gibson twin neck
