We all love our Telecaster guitars very much no doubt.

And sometimes we love other guitars too.

What is your other favorite type of guitar? It can be one you actually own, or would like to own someday.

My absolute favorite guitar these days that I reach for more than anything... when I'm not playing a telecaster... is this 2000 Fender Deluxe Stratocaster. Its my wife's favorite guitar too, and her favorite color... by far the best Strat I've ever owned, and I've owned a few and sold all the rest... this teal strat is just perfect.

What is your favorite guitar that is not a telecaster?

My beat to crap Gretsch 6118 Double Annie two-tone green machine

TG · February 20th, 2012, 12:48 PM

My PRS SE Soapbar with Tonerider Vintage P90s

P Thought · February 20th, 2012, 12:50 PM

This old Tak, with two hot humbuckers and a set neck that's 'way faster than I am. My first electric.

refin · February 20th, 2012, 12:52 PM

Hard to say....
I kinda like my '55 conversion when I'm in a humbucking mood.

But oddly enough,an Epi 335 dot is fun too!

Favorite electric- 2003 Gretsch 1959 Nashville Classic (now called 1959-6122).
Favorite acoustic - James Goodall RCJC
Honorable mention - 1999 Gibson R9 Les Paul Std.
I'm having Chris Forshage make a guitar that "marries" the features of the Gretsch and Les Paul.
ETA is sometime in May.
He makes awesome guitars!

picknfool · February 20th, 2012, 01:04 PM

I'll be buried with my old 335...

ac15 · February 20th, 2012, 01:04 PM

My "favorite" tends to change from time-to-time. I have Gibson and Fender Custom Shop gitars, as well as a 50's Gibson and while I love them all, lately my favorite has been this Jerry Jones Shorthorn...I like the fact that it twangs like a mofo (if I need that), plus it rocks out, and most importantly, it's not an LP, Tele or Strat.

The one I have linked to is the one I actually bought, even though the link is to a website:

It used to be my '79 Les Paul Std, but now my SX 335 copy is getting all of my non-Tele time. Sure is a fun playing guitar that I don't get palpitations if it gets bumped into something.

Alex W · February 20th, 2012, 01:08 PM

Like ac15 my favorite and second favorite, etc, is something that changes over time. Currently I am enjoying this:

Oakville Dave · February 20th, 2012, 01:12 PM

My DeArmond Starfire Special with slightly reconfigured control positions.

jkingma · February 20th, 2012, 01:12 PM

One of these... hard to decide which.

telefunken · February 20th, 2012, 01:13 PM

2003 MIM Strat

Fret Wilkes · February 20th, 2012, 01:15 PM

1973 D28

Strat, I'm currently playing two different strats mostly these days. One set up for RAWK! and one set up for country.

Justinvs · February 20th, 2012, 02:05 PM

Sea Foam Green, MiM Strat, or my old Fender acoustic.

flag72 · February 20th, 2012, 02:09 PM

well if its not one of my 2 tele's its my 1972 Electra super gold L.P. copy

I just love it

Telemarkman · February 20th, 2012, 02:15 PM

At one time it would have been the Les Paul. Today I have no other favorites than the Telecaster.

If I was to have another electric though, the choice would be one of these:

Another good excuse to show my favorite.
