What would be your ideal one, two and three electric guitar lineup?

What's Hot
NelsonPNelsonP Frets: 3389
For me:

One guitar - something versatile e.g. an Ibanez RG
Two guitars - in my case an Ibanez RG and a Tele Deluxe
..and three guitars - the above plus either an ES335 or something with P90s (like a Les Paul DC)

    My ideal is the three I've settled on...

    Trussart Steeldeville with TV Jones Powertrons and Bigsby, 
    Fender 54 Strat
    Gibson R6

    I'm happy, but not necessarily in that order for the 1,2, 3 options. That would depend on how I was feeling on the day. They're SO different!

  • 1) think with my head as how best to do my job: a do it all something like a an HSH strat with good switching options
    2) Les Paul + Strat
    3) Les paul + Strat + 335

    One - something like a Gretsch Duo-Jet with a Bigsby
    Two - a Strat and a Rickenbacker
    Three - all of the above

    Which is what I have.

    What kind of a question is this?

    Strat, Tele, Les Paul of course.

    That's what I'd go for as well.

    Strat first, then Les Paul.  Then Telecaster so you can get the wow's and wisdoms on webforums.

    One guitar - Telecaster
    Two guitars - Telecaster and Strat
    Three guitars - Telecaster, Strat, and anotherTelecaster

    I play guitar because I enjoy it rather than because I’m any good at it

  • 1: ES-335
    2: ES-335 + LP
    3: ES-335 + LP + ES-175

    First two are easy - 1 - hss Strat; 2 - normal strat and les Paul.

    For the third it would be hard to choose between a tele and a shred style guitar with hot pickups, fast neck etc.

    I'd be very happy with just option 2 mind you.

    Personally never liked the semi hollow type at all so the third choice would just be a variation on the main 2.

  • One Guitar: Strat
    Two Guitar: Strat + ES-339
    Three Guitar: Strat + ES-339 + some kind of Mahogany slab with a pair of P90s (either a LP, SG, or PRS McCarty Soapbar)

  • One guitar - HSS Strat
    Two Guitars - HSS Strat and Les Paul Standard
    Three Guitars - HSS Strat, Les Paul Standard and Telecaster

    Having said that I mainly play my new Telecaster these days, but if/when I start gigging again I expect my main guitar will be my HSS Strat again because it's the most versatile.
    It's not a competition.

    1: Not sure.  Probably a Strat with a few wiring tweaks, but would need to audition a few others.

    2: Strat and some kind of semi.  Possibly a Gretsch Panther.

    3: Strat, Semi, and probably a Tele.

    1 - strat copy with a humbucker at the bridge, but no locking tremolo. (Already got an ancient Ibanez RT for that.)

    2 - something compact or headless for occasional train trips (have an old Hohner G3T for that, though would fancy something with a better body sound.)

    3 - nylon strung solid (already got a simple DIY one that's adequate.)

    I don't have any different confiurations for 1, 2 or 3 model setups, I'd just have those three in order.

    1. Fender Strat
    2. Fender Strat & Gretsch 6120
    3. Fender Strat, Gretsch 6120 and Rickenbacker 330
    We are all Chameleons...

  • 1. Les Paul
    2. Les Paul and Single Cut Junior
    3. Les Paul, SC Junior and Esquire

    Weirdly with my current band if I use only one guitar for an entire gig it's normally the esquire or the junior but if I could only use one guitar ever it would be my Les Paul for the odd occasion I need a neck pickup

    1. Superstrat with Floyd and EMG pickups
    2. Superstrat with Floyd and passive pickups
    3. Cheaper Superstrat with Floyd and EMG pickups to use for practice

    By that account, I’ve already got my ideal lineup =)

    1. Jazzmaster
     2. Jazzmaster and Electric XII
     3. Jazzmaster, Electric XII and Jaguar
    I'm sure that will amuse a few people, but that really is my perfect holy trinity.

    I said maybe.....
