My mate in the mid 80S had a banged up old vintage blonde Tele, thought that was rather cool, nobody in my town wanted them, everyone had stratocasters.
I'd love a vintage Jazz master.
Shortly after, I discovered The Cure, and when I saw the Play For Today video, I fell in love with that weird, white Fender that Smith was playing. It took a little while to find out what it was. How on earth did we cope without Google? Anyway, once I had found out that the odd-shaped Fender was a Jazzmaster, it was right at the top of my wants list. It wasn't until 1992 that I found one and it just happened to be the same colour.
I said maybe.....
This band and this guitar.
In this video from '88 it is in a fairly standard state, but went on to be modified heavily I believe.
Christened "Spinebender" it was retired from live duty but remains a go to on recordings.
This was the first band that made me look at Strats.
On the cover of their first album he had a White Strat, this was retired and the one in this vide took over. It had the lace pickups, which was something I had never seen before.
Although Mark retired from the Texans back in the early 90's this guitar was used regularly live until last year when a Wilko Tele took over.
Of course, the ultimate was a real Gibson, particularly the Les Paul Custom and I loved Brian Robertson's Black LP Custom with exposed black pickups and white pickguard and also Scott Gorham's cherry sunburst LP Deluxe.
Then it was Charvels (Model 4) sorry, Yamaha SG1000

Not sure what they are, but I remember thinking how cool they were as a kid
The one that has really stuck with me (when I was in my 20s) was Frank Gambale's Yellow Ibanez Sabre. I'd still love one!
I wanted one of these for ages. Never got one but had a Charvel for a bit when i went through my cheesy 80s rock and metal phase which was close enough.
And I've never heard Winger in my life. But anyway, most pages from the 1993 Ibanez catalogue - http://www.ibanez.com/anniversary/page.php?cat_id=203&year=1993
