my favorite is the V (kinda obvious with my user name)

mrkenny · 01-01-2008, 12:20 PM

I'm partial to P90 ES5's. They are a bit out of my league, money wise. I did find a great guitar that satisfied my hollow body P90 jones. ES225's are waaaaaaay underated. I've got a '57 (a wraparound tailpiece) with original pink lined case two great P90's.

My favorite would be my Flying V

but I do have others..

mrkenny · 03-10-2008, 09:43 PM

Ooooops, double post.

loverocker · 03-11-2008, 08:33 AM

ES-335. No contest.

I've always loved Vs, too, but they're a distant 3rd.

MrWrong · 03-11-2008, 07:10 PM

335/345, like SGs a lot also.

Nicole Rose · 03-12-2008, 12:13 AM

My partner has a gibson nighthawk special, and that guitar is ever sweet. if i didn't love my goddess, i'd be playing that thing all the time.

Paul · 03-12-2008, 01:17 AM

sg FTW i love em.

lineboss58 · 03-12-2008, 06:01 PM

Got an 81 maple top V fitted with goodwoods man that guitar can sing.

antei · 03-13-2008, 03:28 PM

The semi hollows are soooooooooooooooo sweet, but so is the SG!

treddingjr · 03-15-2008, 11:11 PM

335 hands down. Played every guitar in the survey but only bought a 335. Actually I've had two ES-335s. Sold a 1968 Sparkling Burgundy to buy my first Les Paul. Got a 1984 Custom Shop Reissue with factory Grovers and it was my main guitar for the longest time.

Just swapped out the tuners for Grover Deluxe Tulips and put an ABR-1 on it.

I aged the tuners with muriatic acid and rock salt fumes to match the original hardware.
Thinking seriously about getting a Pigtail bridge and tailpiece. Obviously, this one isn't for sale.
When I would go to jam nights, this is the guitar that everyone would want to play.
(And this makes 100 posts!!)

GcTheMachetes · 03-16-2008, 09:34 PM

I love the sg's but all time favorite is my 57 Es175, hands down best sounding guitar ever made.

scary pete · 03-20-2008, 10:45 AM

SG vs ES 355

I ultimately voted for the es

mojofilter · 03-29-2008, 07:07 PM

Firebirds Are So Unique There Sound There Feel,the Long Neck!

Boleskinehouse · 03-31-2008, 08:31 PM

These two!

gremboul · 06-10-2008, 07:24 PM

Es335

R.L. · 06-11-2008, 01:00 AM

SG

Sven · 06-11-2008, 02:50 AM

Easy, my ES-335!

stratoburst · 06-14-2008, 05:55 AM

I dig my ES347 as much as my 355

drewbertca · 06-14-2008, 08:19 AM

I voted for Melody Maker but the Firebird and SG are easily tied......the low buck, no nonsense aspect of the melody maker is what made me vote that way

Favorite Gibsons:

Kirk Gibson (big Dodger fan)
Debbie (80's child...)
Mel (who amoung you did not cry at the end of Braveheart?)

Most favorite Gibson? My beautiful SG!

The_Sentry · 05-01-2009, 10:15 AM

ES all the way!!

bigconig · 05-01-2009, 07:20 PM

I have been a Les Paul guy my whole (playing) life, but since getting my 03 SG supreme I hardly touch my other guitars (Historic and Custom Shop included). I picked up an 08 Supreme too but the neck on the 03 is a little different and definitely my fav. I think I would part with any of my other guitars to replace the 03 if anything ever happened to it. To think I almost passed on it because I wasn't crazy about the look. . .
