Generally I'd only go for one if I thought it offered something really different.
Hence PM120, played as Metheny's main guitar for decades
and the EOB strat. I've had 2-3 guitars with sustainers, pickups and electronics always not right. I felt confident that fender and EOB would not screw it up. Mostly right: the mid and bridge pickups are too weedy. I moved the bridge (which is actually a SD middle pickup) to the middle, and put a hot rails on the bridge. Also the pickups respond differently to the tone control, which is annoying. I don't mind the ultra thick neck.
I also bought a PRS SE SS, which I have not grown to love yet tbh
I did get signature DG20 pickup sets which are amazing
I would have bought a Vai Jem if I liked Floyd Roses and those HSH metal pickups, I tried a Prestige Japanese model with vintage trem, but hated the pickups anyway. Also the neck was so thin my hand hurt from playing it
I saw a Joe Pass Ibanez in Sounds Great for £700 I think. Should have bought it but I had loads of semis at the time
Supportact said: [my style is] probably more an accumulation of limitations and bad habits than a 'style'.
At some point when I've money to waste I might buy a plain replacement scratch plate without the signature and switch them over.
I have owned a:
Brad Paisley Esquire,
4 Bernie Marsden Singlecuts, I still have one.
Three different EVH super strats striped and Circles.
An Angus Young SG
A Fender Rory Gallagher custom shop Strat and a Gibson Les Paul Boneyard Joe Perry (I should have kept both as they are like hen’s teeth now)
A core Santana PRS.
Also owned a PRS Singlecut made for Martin Barre.
but those don’t really count but I thought I’d just mention them.
2022 Martin Rich Robinson D28 - liked the guitar, not really a big fan of the Black Crowes
2014 Gibson Trini Lopez - liked the guitar, not that aware of his music and not really a big fan of The Foo Fighters either.
And here is Kieth Richards putting it through its paces.
Ibanez LB1 Lari Basillio
Gibson 335 Warren Haynes
EVH Wolfgang Special
EVH Frankenstein
PRS SE Mike Mushok
Honourable mention... Gibson R9 Les Paul Texas Burst Ltd. So, a slightly confused combination of a sig Les Paul based on Billy Gibbons 'Pearly Gates' guitar.
Cray Strat
Jarred James Nichols Epi Gold Glory
Billy Joe Armstrong Epi LPJ
