Mine would have to be my Fender '62 Reissu Blonde Tele. It's the sickest Tele I own... 8)

There is another post like this one titled "What the best Strat you have ever played?" in the Stratocaster Column. CHECK IT OUT!

An incredibly hard question, because I have played many now...

But one of my current "playing guitars" is a Custom Shop Rosewood, which is just superb.

It was $4,200 in 2007. A bargain in my book... :wink:

I would have to say the one I own, a Vintage`52 RI Tele. I have changed it to modern switching and I just love the tone. I run all my guitars through a Twin Reverb, and that Tele is a perfect match :)

That is a price high up, but was it COMPLETELY worth it? I have a Custom shop '60s Closet Classic Strat in baby blue and a 2005 Thinline Telecaster in blonde.

Well it was a lot of money, but I also have an original 1969 Rosewood and the Custom Shop one is (being realistic) a better playing and sounding guitar. :shock:

I don't see the Rosewoods going out of style too quickly, given their rarity and the almost non-availability of the base material now. :wink:

I have decided to play this Rosewood and let it naturally relic through use and abuse. I also have a Masterbuilt Rosewood which is my collectable version of the guitar. :D
