Ahem...

Yep Angry Angus number 5 in what I call 'dodgy Relic' finish. It's so cool I have to wear thermal gloves to hold it!

For the jury. Obviously I think they're all cool, but I can understand a lot not liking the StratSG

You don't get much more sub-zero than '58 and '59 Les Pauls. Whack a patent pending early Bigsby on there. Oh gosh. It's like dropping 3 ice cubes in your best undies and playing a guitar solo on top of a mountain with the breeze blowing back your hair (note: this pose requires a reasonable amount of hair, and balls...) 

That's how cool these are:

except that the Bigsby makes it dreadfully uncool

I just love telecasters, so here are mine for the cool wall:

My '56 GVCG Tele (with original '55 bridge and no name kluson's):

My DeTemple Spirit '52

Does my Tylerbastar qualify in the coolness stakes ?????

I thought you keep Fab ice lollies in the Freezer?

Sure this divides opinion but I love it and I still can't believe I've refrained from a Bigsby for fear of overkill on coolness!

I also like my Gibson '59 Re-issue which I got when based in the US. It just had the coolest top (to my eyes anyway):

A WezV creation, Stratele. It's a hybid. Body is actually strat shaped but with a tele upper bout. Flat top too, but has the gut cut. Has a cut down tele 3 saddle bridge and tele bridge pup (BKP BGF52), the rest of it is strat (BKP Irish tours). Wiring is a super switch so it's got the tele B+N available. English walnut top, alder back IIRC. Oil finished. One of my favourite things.

That wez chap knows a thing or two about creating awesome instruments, doesn't he?

I love the carved top strat. Very classy. Although I'd have a strat trem or a hard tail strat bridge, which I think would elevate it into being rather cool.

That tiny little amp making such a noise. Wonderful.

I love Sparhawks tone. Seeing Retribution Gospel Choir a few years ago was am epochal moment for me. Insanely full, fuzzy and warm guitar noise. He's a beautifully simple and effective songwriter too.

Absolutely agree. RGC are superb.

I reckon I account for about 12'000 of the 12'612 plays on this:

That was my fault, I wanted a mahogany bodied super strat with a wraparound and HH layout. The body is quite thin and when he carved the top also, I realised it had become a SG/Strat mash-up. Again, I love it, but of all I can see it being the most love it or hate it of them.

Here it is covered in mucky paw prints
