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?

If there was nothing special about a guitar I wouldn't have it.I love my girls because there mine.

IF I DO SOMETHING STUPID,DON'T SAY A WORD...

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 guitar is so great because :
This guitar is mine, there are many like it, but this one is mine......without me, my guitar is useless, without my guitar, I am useless!

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!

HA!

Yeah, Mine suck too.

Most of mine were built by some Big Hairy Guy who clearly knows bugger all about anything let alone how to build a guitar!

Cheers guys!

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.

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

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.
