Your most 80's looking guitar

[UnderTheFlame83]

I have quite a few guitars that has that 80's look, but when I picture what an 80's guitar should look like in my mind, it's a Vintage White Kramer. Really anything Kramer. All stock except for Graph Tech saddles. This one doesn't have a Floyd, though, but very 80's regardless.

My Icemen are good candidates but I would have to go with my B.C. Rich. I was playing a pink Mockingbird in the 80's but here is my red quilt one. My Roadstar II might also qualify.

Wow, that's awesome! Definitely 80's.

My most 80's looking is my Jackson, but because it's a natural wood finish, it's not that 80's looking.

My most 80's looking guitar was my HM Strat, which I let go in the 90's.

Ace is the one with real 80's looking guitars. You need day-glo yellow, pink, orange, fluorescent lime green, and stripes and stickers.

Probably my Vintage Icon M6V24, maybe the Dean Caddy 80...

My Ice Blue Strat, but it is a bit of a poser (2021 Limited Edition). I still need to put that Super 3 in the bridge slot for the true tone.

My real 80's would be my Black Stratocaster. Good pictures of it are buried in the basement. But if you can imagine it with the original white pickguard andbridge pickup swapped for a black JB, OR a Zebra Stripe WD pickguard with black volume, white tone knobs and a Zebra Duncan Distortion in the bridge slot.

Probably one of these:


I'm thinking the neon Jazzmaster for colour scheme . . . but tiger stripes on a guitar have to count for something.

One of these three, take your pick:

Not just looking like one. It is one. 1988 to be exact.

I pick this one. So understated and cool. I love this axe.

 

[Aceman]

Tough call, but has to be this...

Advantage to the Tiger Stripe!

Rocking my Moderne, circa 1982-83.


Even more 80s was the pink headless Kramer Duke, but I no longer have that one.

Thanks! Double cream Duncans too.

I love the neon Jazzmaster! Is it all Warmoth?

You make a good point here - there WERE other musical styles in the 80's.

My HM of course. Then this Lotus strat copy's diy stripes. After removing them with non acetone polish remover, got "ghost" stripes.
