not an other tele please....we are talkin' what do you use for a wee change...a les paul perhaps?

stratocrabster · October 17th, 2011, 07:02 PM

I've got a '79 hardtail strat if I want a smoother rhythm sound, if I want more of a Gibson-type sound I have an '82 Hamer special fm.

qwerty95 · October 17th, 2011, 07:04 PM

An acoustic.

Dan German · October 17th, 2011, 07:06 PM

You are, of course, assuming that a Tele is our 1st guitar. What if something else is our 1st guitar, and the Tele sits in 2nd place? Crazy talk, I know, but what if...

BB123 · October 17th, 2011, 07:06 PM

A Michael Kelly LP-style.

BajaDerek · October 17th, 2011, 07:06 PM

actually my 4 tele's are my #2. My #1 is my LP JR. '56 RI

BooNin · October 17th, 2011, 07:08 PM

2nd choice is my beaten old acoustic

hybridrocknroll · October 17th, 2011, 07:14 PM

My soon to be 2nd is probably the Road Worn 50's Strat I just ordered, but for now it's my Gretsch Electromatic. Gives a completely different tone than my Tele's and Partscaster Esquire.

acalan · October 17th, 2011, 07:16 PM

Well, I've 2 teles, They are first. I've got my lp copy in my hands right now though, I've got a hollow body on my little work bench at the present time.I should have that done by the end of the year,(i hope)I do like my teles best!

And he also assumes that there are only 2 guitars in the mix. I've got a bunch of #2 guitars.

My 2nd is my Gibson Firebird V, that is until the dog knocked it off its stand, now it's a fake upgraded Gibson Jr until I repair the peghead.

wmsimpson · October 17th, 2011, 07:25 PM

My No. 1 is my beloved ESP tele (I know... sacrilege!)
No. 2: ES-335
No. 3: Highway One Texas Tele

Paul in Colorado · October 17th, 2011, 07:34 PM

Acoustic, or Gretsch, or Les Paul or Strat or...

Bikersluggo · October 17th, 2011, 07:38 PM

#1 Tele
#2 Jazzmaster
Both made by me!
My Fenders are way down on the list.

Yup. And that seems to be a trend here. For the record, my (non-Fender) Telecaster (style) guitar is my #1. Where I go when I put that down is anyone's guess. At the moment, the most likely suspect is my Reverend Buckshot, but I might go acoustic (jazzbox? dreadnaught? 12 string?). Then again, I might be putting the tele down because I need the extra bottom of my 7 string. And what if I'm just feeling like I need to play my LP more to justify the money I spent on it?

I think the question is in good faith, but fails to take into account the terminal GAS many of us suffer from.

Jack FFR1846 · October 17th, 2011, 07:43 PM

I was asked what my first was this past weekend while picking up a guitar. I had to think about it and say that this week, it was my Music Man Albert Lee. Next week, well, I have 7 other guitars to choose from. I have no idea. I guess if I bring a backup to a gig, you could point to my #1 and my backup to #1 (which I choose because it's the closest match in case I break a string).

Shorter answer....I don't know.

BritishBluesBoy · October 17th, 2011, 07:43 PM

Ummm...

RevMike · October 17th, 2011, 07:44 PM

#2 a Roland Keyboard.

Guitarwise though, I either use an Epi Les Paul or my Fender Malibu A/E.

dog fart · October 17th, 2011, 08:50 PM

My other custom build, the one that isn't an Esquire
