If you could have any artists isntrument, which would it be?

Re: If you could have any artists isntrument, which would it be?

Allan Holdsworth's white SG Custom from the 70's

Robert Fripp's black Les Paul Custom

Tony Iommi's red SG Special with the rewound P-90's (silver covers) seen on the inner sleeve photos of Sab's Vol 4

Ok....how about that pink Charvell that CC Deville played in the "Nothing But A Good Time" video. Classic piece of rock history.
 
Re: If you could have any artists isntrument, which would it be?

There are a ton of guitars I'd love to own, but if I had to narrow it down to just one, I'd have to take ****ey (short for Richard, since it's gonna be bleeped out) Betts redtop '57 LP. (the one he stripped the gold paint off and repainted) I dunno what it is about it, but I just think it looks amazing. And obviously, the sound quality would be there.
 
Re: If you could have any artists isntrument, which would it be?

Boy, that's a tough choice. I'd be happy with any of the following: 1) Sparkle coat Tele that belonged to Don Rich (he was with Buck Owens), 2) Jimmy Page's Standard LP, 3) any one of the assorted Lucilles that BB King owns, 4) The tobacco sunburst Standard LP that Ronnie Montrose used for years (I think it was stolen), so he could have it back, 5) the LP Custom that John Sykes used for Whitesnake and Blue Murder albums.

I wouldn't mind having one of Carlos' custom made PRS guitars especially the metallic red one in the "Smooth" video.

Title say's it all. I would choose Melissa Auf Der Maur's custom made sparkle P-bass! What's your choice? Pictures is nice *Vink vink* :burnout:

I'd rather just have Melissa Auf Der Maur.:naughty:


To tell you the truth, I really just like my own guitar, but that's probably because I've customized the **** out of it with the treble bleeds and push-pulls, and phase switch...thinkin' about scalloping next...

Steve Vai's 7 string swirled prototype with the handle.
Satch's ChromeBoy is a close second though.

Lynch's original Mr Scary J Frog Skull & Bones ... the original, and still best Frog guitar ever.

Keefy baby's tele? Piece of history....

But to play, i'd have Paul Reed Smith's personal designed guitar: the one they're basing the "Modern Eagle" prototypes on...

:smack: Hell Ya!!! Damn, I forgot all about it. That is deffinently mine too. Also the new Skull and Bones that J Frog did that has two skulls on it. It looks wicked also.
 
Re: If you could have any artists isntrument, which would it be?

Well I think I would like to have Eric Claptons phycadelic 61 SG. Not for any other reason than it is probably one of the most recognized guitars in Rock history. Then I would donate it to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. An instrument like that deserves to be viewed by all, not horded by one. I believe that Todd Rundren owns it now, and when he got it it was in need of some repair.

That's the Double Skull model ...

For some reason I cant stand tobacco sunburst. I guess it's just me.
 
Re: If you could have any artists isntrument, which would it be?

well one of the best guitar i've ever heard and want is kaki king's custom adamas with the long neck and bowl shaped back thats bigger than any of the ovations. but i would be just as happy with jimmi hendix's strat in his woodstock performance.

David Gilmour's "001" Strat:

uuu, I'll second that post...
 
Re: If you could have any artists isntrument, which would it be?

I'd go for either Jeff Beck's tele-gib or Esquire.

Aside from that, Ed's 5150 kramer. The original frankenstein may be the cooler piece to have, but the kramer 5150 was the guitar I first saw him using.
 
Re: If you could have any artists isntrument, which would it be?

What? No EVH striped frankestrat? Well, he smoked cigs so you'd be all dirty. Still, to be stuffed under Valerie B's bed could be cool. I'll go for Lynch's Kamikazee because you have enough firepower to sink a destroyer, and you get to play through all those amazing rigs.
 
Re: If you could have any artists isntrument, which would it be?

ill third the 001 strat, blackie, and hendrix's woodstock strat (dont want to make u look at the pics again)

id also be content with bb kings first ever lucille or pages les paul or santana's prs. maybe even lennons strat that he stripped and painted...
