wyldbil Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 I have had Pepto, my pink SS1 since spring 2002. Definitely the favorite of my bunch.
elduave Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 I can't see anything ever being #1 over my Indigo SuperPro even though I've only had it 3 months.
Armitage Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 Out of 51 guitars, my number one has been a 95 Hamer Standard. It's not my prettiest or most expensive but it always rises to the top of the pile... Well I just picked up a Dean Water V #11 0f 25 at the Dean Factory this weekend.. and it's serious competition.
RkR Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 21 years! My #1 is still my 1984 BC Rich Gunslinger that I custom ordered back in the day.21 years later, it's still my main "go to" guitar.
BillW Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 Got my '87 Chap in '87. It's still my # 1 - and it shows, unfortunately ....
Hamer95USA Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 Hey Hamer People, My current #1 guitar of the moment is a 1994 Hamer Diablo II guitar. She's all stock, sounds great and plays well. The only thing I did was change the string on her. I purchased this guitar in November last year. She's new to my collection. My 1990 Hamer Chapparal Elite 90 that I purchased in December has been getting a lot of stage time lately as well. My previous #1 guitar was a black 1993 Ibanez RG-570 w/ Dimarzio pickups. I traded her and some cash for the '94 Diablo II. The Ibanez guitar was nice and resonant, but really beat up. It had a crack in the back of the neck and ripped out the upper straplock pin on the upper horn of the guitar since it is a basswood body. When I play my Hamer guitars now, I really don't miss that old Ibanez guitar anymore. Guitar George
Pete Galati Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 While I've had my Hamer Sunburst since '79, I can't recall considering it my main guitar for various reasons. Being a very good guitar isn't enough to make a guitar my #1 guitar. Besides, it always looked too good to use a lot. I'm looking at some email communications about it, and it looks like my #1 was finished around Oct 2004, which somehow doesn't seem right because it seems like I've been playing it longer than that, but I guess not. This one: But that's just as likely to be replaced by a different #1 if I put together something I like better. Which is pretty much a matter of having the money to buy the parts, and if the parts are available. Shouldn't be too difficult, but sometimes it takes some luck. Pete
Brewmaster Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 I have a 1975 Guild F40 that I bought new so I have the sucker for 30 years, BUT, I rarely play acoustic anymore so it is not my #1. My Nash made warmoth Tele that I have had for 3 years is still my #1. It was displaced by my Newport for a short time but I keep going back. Why? It is basic, simple, no frills, and I can get a lot out of it. The only thing different about it is the Korina body. Overall it is very reflective of my personality. The only other piece I own that I have for more than 3 years is a Marshall 2x12 Cab with 75 Watt Celestions that I bought when I started playing again back in 1993. I'm a gear slut.
Citrus Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 The 3 in the middle are the ones I've owned the longest My Artist Studio is the go to guitar - because of the neck - the best one I ever felt. The Seth Lovers ain't too shabby either
LittleC Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 As long as my new DuoTone Custom doesn't unseat it, my number one Hamer is my (purchased new in) 2000 Newport.
Dry Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 Elo? Check. Is this thing on?I've owned my B12L for 11 years now and I'll be buried with it.
Hamerica Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 Since 1997. My number 1 guitar has been a little Sunburst. Flat top Cherryburst with matching headstock. I may play others but my #1 guitar has been that guitar. I don't think I will ever part with it.
formula73 Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 I notice nobody's #1 is a Vector KK and it's been about a week since I harrassed anyone about it(my little Bacchus V is getting Floyded as we speak, so I'm back to wanting just the KK)...somebody sell me one!!!!
Mike_C Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 I have my parts special P bass ( fender neck Boogie bodied P bass with duo split Dimarzio P bass pickups think mocking bird bass with a Badass II brdge for 25 years now) had it built when I was 16.
MARKVECTOR82 Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 I got my 81 special in 88. I have several other specials same year but that one keeps callin me back.
anotherfreak2 Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 My Newport Pro, I got it at the end of '99 and it's been #1 ever since. De-throned my Daytona, which had been my #1 since '94. now the only thing my Newport has to fear is my upcomming IMPROV mwhahahahahahahahahahahahaha.........................
Tres Aardvarks Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 A little over a year I guess. My #1 is the Iri Impact I got from Stonge. Sweetest bass I've ever played. There's no single guitar I go to as my #1, pretty much whatever is sitting out.
