If you could have any guitar...

[EC]

New, old, somebody else's...

I would choose the Gibson jumbo body, black, circa early 50s that has been sitting in my favourite guitar shop for EVER.  I know I'm going to go in there one day and it will be gone.  (It's crazy expensive, as it should be.)

Or, I would have Emmylou's guitar - the one that's on the cover of Blue Kentucky Girl.

I would love to track down a fender squire strat.  Those things are sweet!  and what a value!

[EC]

(heh.  Chills, yes to that!)

[tomEisenbraun]

woah Chills...what is that?

I would probably have to go with a '59 Gibson Les Paul. What a perfect year for those puppies.

Either that or a custom built Taylor. It would be short-scale, and have just a varnish finish. No gloss so that it rings out right and gets all the harmonics possible. I'd hae mahogany back and sides and neck, and a nice sitka spruce top. Basically just a hell of a lot better version of the Taylor I have now.

Jim's Gibson Flying V.  There is alot of magic in that guitar.  Plus it looks kick ass as hell.

[EC]

Yeah, but then he wouldn't have it and where would we be? ;)

woah Chills...what is that?

I belive, Eisey, that it is the one and only old black - Mr. Neil's geeetar.  Soooo special.

[Drunkre]

Black and white Rickenbacker, like Peter Buck used to play.  Maybe still does.  Or a Grolsch (sp? not a guitar afficiando), like Social Distortion.

grolsch as in the beer?  maybe gretsch, or guild?   I bought a fender jazzmaster last year, which was a guitar I've always wanted.    Right now I'd have to go with a non-reverse gibson firebird, or maybe a telecaster with a bigsby (ala' Tweedy)

[Chills]

The first three are for you John!











And yes that was indeed Old Black. It has lived through some rough times but it has tons of soul.

[EC]

Ohhhh Emmylou with your rosed guitar.  It's so pretty.  (Is that from the Gibson site - is that her special signature one?)  Yeah.  I want one.

[Chills]

Yeah think it's from the gibson site, i'll check it out!
Mind you, I don't know anytihing about guitars, but this one looked really beautiful.

[Chills]

Yep it's from the gibson site. Their custom acoustic guitars are great too!
