I'm now a one bass guy. And soon a one guitar guy (ibebenta ko na yung strat). Siguro dahil for now, nakukuha ko naman yung tunog na gusto ko. Plus di naman ganun ka-wide ang tonal needs ko.

I have 6 guitars right now. But if i can only keep one, it would be my S prestige. Low maintenance floating bridge, fm top mahogany back, hsh pup config, 24 frets. It just lacks coil splitting and it would be my all around guitar.

Any of my PRSi. The dgt or cu24. La ako problema sa kanila tulad ng ibang gitara. I can do 100+ dive bombs na di nawawala sa tuno. And the plus is it can give me a range of tone from a quacky  strat to a fatty les paul tone. They're like army swiss knives. A good kind of army swiss knives.

Right now i'm content with my modest 50's tele.

But when the stars align for this, I'd be a very happy man

holy smokes! ang payat ko pa!!!  :lol:  :lol: anong year ulit 'to? I remember first time I saw you play sa QC (yung bar near a subdivision na palaging umaangal yung kapit bahay sa ingay), you were playing that white RG. I think you covered Die To Live.

i think its a tossup between the 2 MicSis teles for me. for the longest time I thought it'd be my old 52ri.



i loved the sound but the neck was something i thought could be improved on, like maybe if it had a flatter radius, but then i felt the itch to experiment and sold it. then went through a phase of trying out tele after tele, buying and selling each, trying to chase the sound i was getting with that old blonde. i learned a lot but could never find the right neck or the right sound.


yung breakthrough came with the '83 SQ series Squier tele Ten now owns (the 2nd guy from the right in randymarsh's pic). It had almost no finish, jumbo frets and a 4 way switch and sounded awesome but, more importantly, felt great. I think I went through about 8 pickups on that guitar, figuring out what kind of pickups (high wind/low wind, alnico 5/2/3, with baseplate/no baseplate) my ears liked.


The stuff I picked up about what I like along the way I sort of distilled into the 2 MicSis teles. Yung first, the green one, was an experiment to see if it could get it to sound like the old blonde but with a better neck, the 2nd was an attempt to repeat repeat the SQ Squier (again, with a neck closer to how I like it). They dont sound identical and each one does some things better than the other but the feel across both guitars is close enough for me not to favor one over the other. Coin toss palagi or whichever has the fresher strings.

im not really a guitar player but i own 5 electric guitars:

-squier strat (i forget i even own it)
-tokai strat
-greco SG
-tokai LS50
-fender tele (mij)

suffice to say, the squier is not getting any play time. the tokai strat is getting very little play time ... and the 3 that get the most are the tele, sg and lp. well, LP gets little play time pala but has the ballsiest tone ever.

i cant sell the 4. but if i were to be left with one, i am thinking the SG, just because it gets the most playtime based on its weight, and comfortability. it has a killer tone too, not as killer as the LP, but well, comfort seems to trump tone when you are looking at 5% improvement increments.

Although a LP GT Deluxe with mini-humbuckers would be nice to have, I "think" I can live with just my Nighthawk SP2. It's light and gives me all the sustain and Cream tone I want.

But I admit I will have a difficult time giving up my micsis tele and my semi-hollow.

Fell in love with it the first time I played it at gig level. The rest of the band loved it as well...

Better to rephrase that, bro.... brokeback images are ugh...

True that ...

I'm going to get me a strat ... one LP and one strat is all I need :)

For me, better to have 1 favorite guitar and a dozen amps than a dozen guitars and 1 amp :)

My #1 axe is still my Suhr Standard. Incredibly versatile, very easy to play and I can still get natural Strat tones out of it.
