What kind of guitar do you use?

Fender American Strat w/ Texas Special Pickups

Ibanez Artcore

Seagull Artist Acoustic

Fender 12 string acoustic

1958 Silvertone Acoustic

Fender Geddy Lee jazz bass

Spector 5 string bass

Hondo banjo

Fender mandolin



I'm saving my pennies for a Parker Fly, though

I have a Korean Squire Strat knock-off. Plays just like an American made one. You've got to be out of your mind to pay stupid amounts of money for a guitar. Ask Martin Barre.

Weird that Parker guitars get mentioned.

Only 5 days ago, I was thinking "hmm, never seen one in the flesh before" and 3 days later, I got a guitar shop catalogue, and they had just started to stock Parker guitars.
I've always wanted to try one, ever since seeing them and hearing about them.

An older version than the ones on the website though.

I recently bought a Gordon-Smith on Evilbay. I think it's a Graf but the few pictures I could find ont' web have a different headstock. Mine is a Strat-like 6-a-side whereas the others have a 3-a-side design. As with every G-S I've played (not that I've played many, maybe 3 or 4), the neck is amazing. I've checked the G-S website and they don't make them any more. I'll send them an email to see if they can give me any information about it.

I started out with a fender squire 7 years ago but upgraded to a Epiphone Les Paul classic 5 years ago and never looked back! Great for someone like myself on a budget. no complaints yet!

I'm thinking of stenciling something cute onto the front, any suggestions? =) is it ok if I lean it against a radiator?

I have a Yamaha pacifica 112 lefty, but I'm dreaming of getting a Gibson SG some day. It's very difficult to find left-handed guitars that are not Strat-type from Finland.

You might want to avoid recent Danelectro guitars. They were bought out by Evets Corporation in the 90s, and the newer range of Danelectro aren't really what they used to be apparently.
In fact, only last month was it found '08 models were defective and had to be sent back to Evets Corp', which is incredibly bad quality control in the works.
Take a look at another brand. Fender's, with alder bodies and single coil pickups are among the best if you want a snappy, bright clean tone and the American made models are indeed pretty good quality.

This only applies, however, if the radiator in question is white.
