I struggle to choose just one Gibson since different models bring out different inspiration to my playing, but if I had to narrow it down - most electric models with humbuckers made between '59-'62 and a couple of pre-war acoustic L5's. But they's gotta be good 'uns.

Might be selling or trading my old '56 Custom for an early 1960 335TD. I like the 'bucker sound over P-90's and Alnico's just a little bit more.

I love my '56 Custom, but I would also love an Advanced Jumbo from the late 30s :)

I gotta a certain 'thing' for late 60's Black beauties..
But no wonder is required for me to point my finger to a pretty lemonish plain-top 1959 or a well played but not beaten up dark back Gold top 1957.

Out of all the vintage Gibbby's I've played the flat tops are my favorite.

So a '50's LP Special (or Junior).
