Define "best"?


Best sounding?

Best playing?

Best looking?


Answering all of those I would say my J5 tele is the most versatile and I think covers all of them. Another fav is my Jim Root Tele. But all of those depends on peoples opinions and no doubt some people wont agree with my answer.

Best hands down was a 52 AVRI Telecaster from 1982, the first year of reissue. It was heavily road worn, the fretboard was worn slam out, the body hand dings on it from being played live for many years and it wasn't much of a looker, but damn if it didn't have the best tone, feel and appearance of any guitar ever. It was all stock save for the Kinman Broadcaster pups in it. To this day I still regret selling it for my buddy rather than finding a way to buy it from him myself.

Swapped guitars for a week with a buddy of mine once. He took my '63 Les Paul Junior and I had his '66 sunburst Strat. Man, that was one sweet guitar. Played like dream and sounded fantastic. I've never forgotten that. Took me almost 45 years to get one of my own.

I'm hoping it is the one I haven't played yet.

My new American Standard is due to arrive tomorrow (so purolator tracking tells me).

Can't wait.

A good friend of mine has a '63 Strat. All original with the tweed case and even the hang tags. He was offered $25K for it by a guy in Nashville, but he won't part with it. I can't say as I blame him. I've played it a number of times and I have to say it truly is the best Fender I have ever played. The feel, the sound, everything about it is perfect.

I wonder if I could talk him into leaving it to me in his will. Hmmm.

I don't remember the model but it was a black acoustic fender (looked like a CD-280S but in black) because it was my first guitar ever. I swear I slept with it the first couple of nights. It was stolen in a burglary and my parents couldn't afford to replace it. Man, I mourned that guitar for years. :cry:

I had a '65 Sonic Blue Strat that was probably the best in terms of playablilty and just plain mojo vibe...hard times forced it's sale years ago to a good home,I wish I had it back but maybe someday.
I know people have heard this in some other threads,but now I have a '62 Sherwood Green Hot Rod that is wonderful,and really feels alot like the old '65 except the pickups sound even better....so it's my #1.

Most unique, a Custom Shop Bass VI. Truly a superb instrument quite out of the ordinary.

One can play a number of other makes' guitars and they may be "close" to the immortal Fenders, especially the Strat and Tele.

But in this opinion, the Bass VI stands proudly, all but alone and certainly under-rated, in this opinion, because of lack of imagination among us used-to-conventional 6-stringers.

In this opinion, again, the Bass VI is the metaphorical "super tenor sax" in an alto sax world.

Thinking about it, I haven't really played many Fenders apart from the ones I've owned and those I tried out when buying them. My '66 Time Machine Strat is the best guitar for me... I can't remember what life was like before I had it. However, recently I've been recalling an old music teacher's (later band-mate) '72 Tele Custom, and how that used to sound (and feel!)... I was a classical/12" radius-type player at the time, and I loved that slinky neck and gritty sound. That was such a great guitar... it was the knockabout band room instrument at the time, but if I got my hands on it again I think it would take the prize for favourite.
