Nice to see a vote for the classic ol' Les Paul (personally prefer the goldtop version, myself) - now, who's for a black 1970 SG, then....?

I played for some time a Wasburn Dreadnaught, and then I baught the N4. I have rather small fingers and I love the Washburn necks and fretboards. First time I played the N4 in the store, it was love at first touch.

Pink Paisley Tele in hand, Steve Hogarth of Marillion does his best Stan Laurel impression.

Hmmm, parkers sound good and are very diverse, but they're so ugly....IMHO

That pink paisly telecaster is cool.

I'm with the Parker fans...amazing guitars. A high-end PRS would be sweet too.

I've also always wanted one of those Paisley telecasters.

Er... I was slighty wrong, the complete monolog is:

I remember everything!
I remember every little thing as if it happened only yesterday.
I was barely 17 and I once killed a boy with a fender guitar.
I don't remember if it was a Telecaster or a Stratocaster,but i do remember
that it had a heart of chrome and a voice like a horny angel.
I don't remember if it was a Telecaster or a Stratocaster, but I do remember
that it wasn't at all easy.
It required the perfect combination of the right powerchords and the precise angle
from which to strike.
The guitar bled for about a week afterwards and the blood was
ooh...
dark and rich like wild berries.
The blood of the guitar was Chuck Berry red!
The guitar bled for about a week afterwards and it rung out beautifully ,
and I was able to play notes that I had never even heard before.
So I took my guitar and I smashed it against the wall!!
I smashed it against the floor!!
I smashed it against the body of a varsity cheerleader!!
I smashed it against the hood of a car
I smashed it agianst a 1981-Harley Davidson...
The Harley howled in pain, the guitar howled in heat!
I ran up the stairs to my parents bedroom
Mommy and Daddy were sleeping in the moonlight
slowly I opened the door creeping in the shadows right up to the foot of the bed
I raised my guitar high above my head and just as I was
about to bring the guitar crashing down upon the center of the bed
my father woke up screaming:
"stop...wait a minute..stop it,boy"
"what do you think you're doing???
That's no way to treat an expensive musical instrument"
And I said "god damn it, daddy!!!
You know I love you....."
"BUT YOU GOT A HELL OF A LOT TO LEARN ABOUT ROCK AND ROLL!!!!!"

Damn and blast it! Not as original as I once thought.

I'm really happy with my current guitar, a 1994 Hofner Nightingale, it's the ES-335 model in front :

i don't have much on my wish list, but this combination of a rick and a AC-30 would be great :

I heard that quote before...

"... I don't remember if it was a stratocaster or a telecaster, but I remember it had the voice of an angel and the heart of a horny thing..."

Jim Steinman, if I'm not wrong... or is just a coincidence?

Please forgive me for my crappy english!

Mine would be having a pair of custom made SG clone (cherry red) but with a major difference, it would be a neck-through-body as opposed to the normal glued-in neck that Gibson normally uses, this would be FAR more stable!

Additional stuff would be a set of Seymour Duncan '59's on one, and a set of P-90 single coils in theother and an abalone inlay of an Owl's face in the pegheads of both.

People are puzzled why I don't dig the Stones, well, I listened to the Stones, I tried, and I tried, and I tried, and--I Can't Get No Satisfaction!

So beautifull.....awww

I'd never seen it close up. That is a hell of a guitar but the again, I've always thought that the telecaster was one of the high water marks of guitar design. For years I lusted after famous Andy Summers Tele for the same reason.

Roine Stolt plays Parker Flys too. An incredible axe, Eugene!

Have you tried one?

No but it's on my list of 'must plays'.

Definately a Les Paul Black Beauty with gold hardware, that guitar makes me want to weep. If not that, then an Ernie Music Man, either the Steve Morse or the John Petrucci model.
