Here we have four red guitars..

[Dew Knot Humps]

These are all from my Private Collection.

If you were about to sit in with your favorite band at Madison Square Garden and a tech said”grab one of these” which one would you take and why?

2003 Gibson ES-333 (stock)
2007 Gibson Custom shop LP jr (Grover locking tuners and Music City bridge)

1983 Fender ‘57 Strat (Rio Grande mid bottom pickups)
PRS Soapbar SE Made in Korea (stock)

The 333, because, well, fuqagibson and all that, but damn.

 

[Gorgon90]

Could make any of them work so in order of choice.

1. PRS
2. Les Paul
3. Strat
4. ES333

Order could change, the more I look at them.

 

[Honkridge]

Those are all really nice but I'd take the strat...

It’s an outstanding Strat for sure.

 

[Motorik]

First off, lovely guitars.

I'd take the Jr, and I'd ride the volume and tone knobs to shape the sound. That's what I'm used to doing with my tele, so it'd be the easiest to adapt to at short notice.

If I had a bit of time to get acquainted I'd pick the ES-333.

 

[Monson]

In context I'd probably pick the Strat because that's where I feel the most at home. For just messing around I'd love to give the Jr a go.

And I think it's fantastic that you own four red guitars.

PRS

 

[Lerxst]

They all look fine. I'd grab what ever was closest to me.

 

[LeftyTom]

But do you have shoes to match?

Strat

But do you have shoes to match?

My bowling shoes are red so the answer is “sort of.”

I would ask them if they were sure they had the right person. But probably the Strat, I like maple necks

This thread has reminded me I haven’t played the Strat in a while. Fixed that over the past two nights, got about three hours of picking in on it. It reminded me of why I’ve kept it for so long.
