Everyone has a guitar that means something special to them. It's the centerpiece of your rig and your number 1 tool. And of course we think it's the best guitar to ever be strung. So tell us why yours is so much better than anyone else's. It could be a mod you've done to it, a story behind a particularly nasty ding, an awesome gig that tore the roof off the place, or some weird or meaningful way that you acquired it. What's so great about your favorite guitar?

i have 2 special guitars... both of them are strats, maya (a black rosewood standard strat) and claire (olympic white squier vintage modified strat)... maya is special because she was my first electric... i needed guitar picks for a school concert and i went with my dad to this small music store and she was hanging there... i didn't know what a strat was but i was addicted to the shape since the beginning (90's had sweet guitars)... when i was a kid i always wanted a red one cause of this toy guitar my grandma gave me... and i guess it just lit the flame for me she really got me to play hard

then there is claire... i got her last summer she represents a lot too me... my dad had to go to canada for 3 months and he missed out on my graduation and it kinda got me sad through the whole thing... my dad can't play a guitar but he's a carpenter and he knows a thing or two on woods (plus he likes to look at them ;) ) and i talked to him about this vm squier and how it was made of cedar and how i liked it a lot... i didn't know a thing but everyone was in on it my mom, my girlfriend and practically my whole band knew that he bought me the guitar... was a bit of a shock for me in the airport... plus she always reminds me of canada (i was born in toronto)

My no 1 is my 2 knob Strat. It ain't pretty, it's seen lots of abuse but keeps coming back sounding great!!

It also has the best neck I have ever played and nothing has ever come close no matter how much money I have been willing to spend.

Obviously all just my personal opinion! :wink:

Hehehe!

I'm pretty sure most wouldn't like playing any of my guitars. I have the action set quite high (you could probably walk under it!) as per my personal preference.

BTW: I've seen pic's of some of Arjay's guitars. Now that guy knows how to put a Strat together. :wink:

You got that right! You need good tools to do good work.

I picked out my guitar through natural selection, so I know it's the strongest of the herd >_>

Because it is, "The Fratocaster", made possible by many an esteemed forum member:

It is still the only guitar I own, always will and probably ever shall.
