I stopped in to the local guitar shop today for a cable. I almost walked out with another FujiGen Strat. They had a Squire "E' series strat for a very reasonable price. If it had been a maple fretboard I'd probably be playing it now.

I just picked this up to complement my double cut Gibson BB King. It's smaller, lighter and a lot less expensive. I've owned a few of Comin's custom arch tops but this affordable instrument is a marvel for the price he charges. This version has a laminated spruce top, mahogany sides with an ebony neck.

Tough choice for me if it came to that.
Probably a Paul Reed Smith Custom from 1987, vintage yellow. Becoming semi collectible I think. |

I also replaced the stock 11s and plain 3rd with flatwounds and it sounds amazing.

Nicely done by the guy who put it together. Aftermarket body, unidentified neck, and some quality electronics. When he put it up for sale, I was the first of many to send him a message.

If my house was burning, and I had to save just one guitar, it would be an acoustic, and it would most definitely be my 1964 Gibson J45. Why? Because I could still make my living with it, and it's the best sounding J45 that I've ever heard or played. It used to belong to one of my very good friend's mom. Her name was Alma, and I named the guitar after her. She bought it new in 1964, and she used to sing to all the kids in the neighborhood with it. When she passed, it was willed to my friend, and he really wanted to get it into the hands of someone that would treasure it, and more importantly use it.
I am so glad it wound up with me. Not only do I love the sound and the way that it plays, I have written some of my best songs with it!!! If it had to be an electric, it would be this Gibson 1975 L5s which took me over 5 years to find. It was a guitar that I dreamed of owning since I was a teenager. There were three main variants of the L5s, and this is my favorite of those variants (full size humbuckers, harmonica bridge, L5 tailpiece). There are probably very few examples of an L5s in this condition, and bonus, it has a 2 piece top (VERY RARE as most are three), and it is very lightweight compared to most (9.2 lbs). Although many people feel Gibson didn't make any great guitars in the 70's, occasionally one would slip through the cracks, and this guitar defines the term great guitar. The finish is applied as perfectly as I've ever seen, and it's hard as glass nitro! The feel of the neck is sublime, the action can be set the lowest of any guitar I've ever set (hundreds!!!). It plays so slinky, that it almost feels like it's playing itself. The tone of these pickups is perfect for the fingerstyle technique that I use. With no trace of any mud in the low register when using the neck pickup, and a very balanced full high end (ie not shrill) on the bridge pickup. And because I seem to playing cleaner and cleaner with each passing year, it feels as if I'm growing into this guitar. It's just the perfect guitar for me!

Thanks Frank! I would like to see that old ES175 of yours! I would love to have one from the 50's with the P90s!

I bought a Godin LGX-SA in the early 2000s because I was using a synth in a party band I played with. The synth is long gone now, but this is just an excellent guitar that I still play in various rock projects I play with, just this past weekend in fact.

My new favorite is a les Paul special, all natural mahogany finish, humbuckers with cream trim. Just a solid guitar and very easy to play short scale. I used to prefer on fenders but I’ve come around. My next favorite is a ‘69 tele thinline. I’ve decided after several attempts that I don’t like strats.
