Thanks, man. It is a fun thread to do. I get to share a lot of excellent guitar porn, It is also cool when I am sure one of you will definitely grab a guitar, and you grab something completely different. I was happily surprised most of you grabbed Suzzanna Hoff's Rickenbacker over Pete Townshend's, even though The Who is closer to most of our hearts than The Bangles. Other times I know there is something there someone can't walk away from a particular guitar, like Mincer and Adrian Belew's Parker. I could put 50 Parkers in that thread, and he will pick that guitar every time. The best thing is I am picking up a lot of fun facts when searching for the guitars; I may start posting some of them to the thread.

The guitars of the '77 punk era

Joe Strummer's '66 Telecaster

Steve Jone's '74 Les Paul Custom

Johnny Ramone's 1965 Mosrite Ventures II

This one's easy.
Chip 'em all.

im keeping the tele
playing the lp
and that mosrite is going to the chippa

 

[Securb]

I'm playing the Tele just to feel it's mojo
Keeping the Mosrite it adds a flavor and tone to my collection I do not currently have
I have to throw Steve's Lester in the woodchipper, unfortunately.

 

[GuitarStv]

I'd want to play the Mosrite to try it out just because it was Joey Ramone . . . but Mosrites weren't great guitars - don't think I'd want to keep it. I'd keep strummer's tele - half because it was his and half because it's a sound that I could use. The les paul would have to be chipped.

For the right person, all of these guitars are on point.


Kramer Triax

Guitar fact: Designed by Floyd Rose – inventor of the famous locking tremolo system – the guitar made its debut at the 1986 edition of NAMM, alongside another Kramer guitar inspired by Star Trek, the Enterprize.

The guitar was also a fixture of Dangerous Curves, a guitar-inspired exhibition at Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts held in 2000, and was subsequently featured in a book that followed the event, Dangerous Curves: The Art of the Guitar.

Guild Guild X-100 Bladerunner guitar

Guitar fact: Perry only played the guitar occasionally, when it came time for Aerosmith to film their iconic “Walk This Way” music video with Run-DMC, Perry knew he wanted the Bladerunner.

“I wanted to try something different than the standard Les Pauls and Fenders,” Perry said. “And it was a really eye-catching guitar.”

Schecter Al Jourgensen Triton

Guitar fact: Schecter Triton is actually quite a kitted-out instrument. Equipped with a set of Schecter’s proprietary ‘San Andreas’ humbuckers, the Triton has a potent voice with its all-Mahogany construction ensuring a thick and powerful sound. Other key appointments include a reliable TonePros bridge, Graph Tech nut and Schecter locking tuners

Play the X-100
Keep the Triton
Chip the Triax

(I might keep the X-100 and play the Triton also. Tomayto, tomahto.)

 

[jeremy]

that kramer is going in the chippa
playing the weird schecter
and i will rock the hell out of the guild

though the emg is getting swapped out for a pgb. did you do a search for worst headstock designs?

 

[GuitarStv]

The Kramer looks the most like a spaceship, so that's the one I'm keeping. I'd be interested in how the bladerunner feels to play. The flying V with a big schlong would go to the chipper.

 

[Mincer]

I slowly lower all 3 into that metal muncher thing above. I do it slowly so I can enjoy it.

 

[Securb]

I have to play the Kramer Triax it was designed by FR
I have played the actual Guild X-100 Bladerunner in the picture that is a keeper
The Triton would go in the chipper. It looks like I might poke something tender playing it.

I will admit the headstock on the Kramer is horrific but I don't mind the other two.

Hollow but hard and heavy

Billy Duffy Cult Gretch 70's White Falcon

Guitar fact: Billy Duffy came up with the opening riff for "She Sell Sanctuary" after singer Ian Robert Astbury asked him what would happen if he used all of his guitar pedals at the same time

Izzy Stradlin's 1987 Gibson ES-175D

The white Gibson ES-175D guitar Izzy Stradlin played during GN’R’s 1988 “Live at The Ritz” MTV broadcast sold for $79,860, Backstage Auctions co-owner Kelli van Gool tells AL.com.

Ted Nugent's 1962 Byrdland

Guitar fact: Byrdland is unique among Gibson electric guitars. Designed with the input of guitarists Billy Byrd and Hank Garland (the name is derived from their surnames), it was introduced in the mid 1950s as one of the company's first "thinline" hollowbody models.

 

[Mincer]

Bleh. I'd keep Steve Howe's ES-175D, though.
