I think the solid body LPs are too heavy. They hurt my back anyway. As much as I love Maton guitars, my favorite if I was loaded would be the Martin OM 45 Roy Rogers model with the small floral pick guard

The same over here. This was my favourite guitar for many years. I was surprised to see the round sort of cushion or whatever it is that is in the back, to cover the electronics, I suppose.

Now you've got me thinking about what my favourite guitars have been through the years. For some time I did want one like one Roy Orbison used a lot until the mid sixties, simply because I wanted to have a guitar with that many switches. But I don't think they can be bought anywhere. It's sort of a Gretsch/Gibson mongrel, isn't it?

I'd be happy with a Gretsch White falcon, even a reissue would do. daft spending crazy money on an original, would rather have a reissue and spend the change on converting the attic or summat....
would love an original Fender Esquire tho!

I bought my dream guitar years ago, a Ric 360 (got a 6, but oo, I love a 12 string). I saved up forever, then waited nearly a year for it to arrive...then I realized I can't dream play it.

The worst scenario is when your dream guitar becomes not such a dream guitar... I remember going to buy a Les Paul that frankly was horrible...

here is darrel higham's switchmaster before it went under the knife. It was originally sunburst with humbuckers. Then stripped back to blond with 3 p90's added and a bigsby.

If you can look past the fact that he may have played Livin' On A Prayer on it, Richie Sambora's is for sale...

You can hear it on the "Johnny Cash Live at San Quentin Gig"

Amazing sound surprised it didn't Bust the Jail doors open.

Wonder what Amps they were using??
