Re: 3 guitars you must own... what would they be?
I prefer G&L Legacys over the typical Fender Strat, so my choice for my three electrics would be:
A G&L Legacy, with the standard alnico pickups;
A G&L Legacy Special, with the hotter ceramic Gotoh Blades pickups
A Gibson 1960 Historic Les Paul
With other options, I would certainly add a hollowbody jazzer, a 335, a 12-string electric, some version of a Gretsch, a Taylor 655 or 855 12-String, a Martin D18 and a D28 in the "Golden Era" versions, and perhaps a Taylor acoustic as well.
A few years ago, I was in a pawn shop and over-heard a guy talking about how, "...everybody needed 20 guns." And he had his list, from an AR-15 to a .45 cal Colt 1911, a 9mm Beretta, a 12-ga shotgun, a .38 cal snub revolver, a Thompson Contender single shot hunting pistol, a .30-30 lever action deer rifle, a derringer, etc. He had a logical reason why each gun was a necessity--and it was pretty funny listening to the guy, and watching his wife roll her eyes! He admitted that he was only up to #12 on his list, and his prospects for obtaining all 20 (and staying happily married!) were pretty slim.
Not sure I NEED all of my 41 currently-owned guitars--but I'm pretty sure I'd need more than just three to survive!
