Sean Willard I just started back playing after about 20 years ( I have played here and there but not daily) and most of my years of playing was with acoustic so I really didn’t know much about them although I spent time with electric in the beginning.. Anyways I recently found a Santana licensed PRS and I wasn’t so happy at first because the sound was so low or Bassy that it sucked to me and I left it alone and played my 2 Ibanez that I also purchased from the same pawn shop.. After a while of seeing video after video of people “Loving their PRS” I felt there had to be something there and I wanted to experience that so I go to thinking 🤔 I dropped the neck pickup but raised the 4 bottom screws and dropped the low side of the bridge pickup and raised the screws on the bridge pick up to kind of Mimic a Strat .... I tried it out and thought to myself this sound sooooo much better and getting used to the neck took a little time but I love it, honestly it Kicks Ass!! At 44 yrs old I play everyday at the very least 45 min at most 4 hours and I have seen so much improvement in my playing I’m actually proud of myself when rip through lead runs it blows my mind that it’s me doing it .Better Late than Later or Never lol

Kind of beat up and has some dead frets but I love to play around with it. It give me practice on heavy strings and helps toughen up my fingers. There's no fret buzz aside from my lack of skill on the top half of the neck so who cares. It's not like I'm performing for anyone.

Hi Darrell, I took your advice years ago. I tried every make guitar that was designed for hard rock. Fender, Gibson, Ibanez, Schecter, and many of their models - teles, strats, LP, SG, ES335, signature models, low end, high end, etc. There are two types of guitarists. 1. those who are adept to all models/makes ie., Alex Lifeson and 2. those who specialize on one instrument and really get to know that instrument. Steve Vai, Satriani, Allman, Hendrix, Clapton, Beck, Page, Blackmore, Malmsteen, Johnson, Baxter. After trying everything, I found stratocasters fit me like an old glove. I sold all my other guitars, and there were many, and am sticking with strats.

A Strat is the first true "Swiss Army Knife" of guitars. Yes, you need to own one. It will immediately become your go to guitar. I say this after playing a Tele and a Gibson on tour for several years- then being captivated by that Strat back in 1995. If you can afford it, go USA. There is a definite payoff in the fit, finish, and electronics- that seems pricey at first but worth it over the decades of use. My Strat has Tele-knobs now and that is the only mod I ever or will make to it!

I grew up in the 2000s era loving metal. At that time Jackson’s, ESPs and Ibanez was the craze in my community. Guitars with sharp pointed edges that shred 🤘🏻 I’ve always been an Ibanez guy till 2014 I had my 7 string Djenty Ibanez. Now that I’m older, there has been a change in my taste of music. More blues, jazz, progressive rock and alternative stuff. I’ve ventured more into guitars and really fell in love with the Fender Stratocaster the moment I played it. Currently if I were to choose one, the strat would be my weapon of choice. I’m using the Fender player strat SSS now.

I just bought a barely used Fender Player SSS MIM. It’s funny because I researched it and gave it a lot of thought and went into guitar center dead set on two humbuckers and either a locking tremolo or fixed bridge. I played a bunch of guitars and was about to leave and there she was in the used section. It was this weird lime green color like a 1970’s swimming pool. It was so weird it caught my eye. I plugged in and it felt right. I tested some clean tones and it sounded great and the fretboard was awesome. Then I switched to channel 2….done. I bought it on the spot. I will never sell that guitar.

Dude...buy your damn guitar

Hey Darrell, really enjoyed your 5G Vid. I've been playing for a while and have owned many different guitars, including a Hot Rod Tele and a Les Paul. I broke the mould with purchase of a PRS and I've had an 89' Gibson HRF III since 2008 which kicks any ES 335 into touch. The most interesting perhaps is a pawnshop purchase which cost a 100 quid and went through a complete rebuild. Pick-ups came off a stock Les Paul Custom (the owner went for EMG's" and was binning the 490's, so they were free!) and the new fingerboard was Jazz Bass rosewood in order to get the scale length. Checking the history, I found out that it was a Japanese import into the UK in 1961 under the name Commodore. The rebuild used mostly Gibson parts, medium fret wire, Stop-Tail and Tune-o-matic set up and a set of Grover 18:1 tuners. All this aside, I play my acoustic more than anything, a Taylor Big Baby, which has an acoustic sound that is in my opinion unsurpassed. (Try one!!) I still take out the PRS more than any of the others. One day all guitars will be made this way...

I fell in love with Jackson's and their compound radius necks! Ibanez is awesome and similar, but the 16- radius on a Dinky or Soloist of you want to spend a little extra is just so great😎

As a predominantly jazz player, I have been a Guild girl for decades but just began building guitars from kits and have discovered the versatility of Strats as you talk about in your video. Hands down the nicest neck I have ever played on was an Ibanez. LI love all the little side history and trivia bits you toss in about each guitar line. Great video -- I just subscribed and I am sure my husband will thank you later because I need to buy kits to build two more guitars now!

I just bought an all original and functioning 1958 Fender Stratocaster. It had been stored inside of its original Fender tweed case, inside of a spare bedroom closet since 1981 and never taken out until I was brought in to verify what the guitar was and try and find a buyer for it. The second owner knew the original owner and bought it off of him in 1981, tried learning how to play it, gave up and then stored it in the bedroom closet until I was brought in to look at it. The original owner also hardly ever played it as well. They also bought it to learn how to play too and only did so a few times so as a result, the guitar is still in immaculate shape. During the verification process, I completely disassembled the guitar except for removing any electronics so even the original soldering would still remain intact. I then had 4 vintage Fender guitar experts look at the numerous detailed photos that I sent them and every single one confirmed that the Strat was the real deal. The more I spent time with the guitar, the more I fell in love with it. As a result, I decided to buy it for myself. I payed just under what was initially thought as fair market value for the guitar. Then as I researched the guitar every vintage expert would then tell me that they think my 58’ Strat and its case may be the most well preserved 58’ Strat and case in existence. At least one that is still all original and functioning. I am now in the process of getting the guitar certified and appraised by as many vintage guitar experts as possible. I still can’t believe that I was able to buy the guitar and have it literally fall into my lap. The guitar is a unicorn guitar, in that it is extremely rare and hard to find. Everyone that has seen the guitar has said that it is more of a museum quality guitar than a player type guitar. One expert even said that because the condition of my guitar is so well preserved that a whole new vintage category may need to be created to properly appraise mine. Now I can’t decide if I should keep it or sell it at a considerable profit.

Hi Darrell. You really are a star and very helpful.. I have been thinking about getting another electric guitar and one that is is covered in your analysis.The Ibanez is one I will look very closely at. Thanks again Darrell.

Thanks for all the info , Darrell. You give people enough info to ground them and allow them to seek more.

100% agree with list. I just need the tele and 335 to complete my collection. I played just one guitar for many years before exploring all the great guitars out there.

So glad an Ibanez RG was mentioned...! They’re my go to 😂

Hey.... Just wanted to tell you your playing is improving each time I check in with your channel.

You need to talk about that sweet looking thinline Telecaster with the Bigsby!

There's no experience I've had like strapping a boat anchor with P90-ish hot pickups in it like the... Jazzmaster. From the quirky trem system to the weird bridge saddles, the Jazzmaster is... well, iconic is a good word. Painful might be another. But those single coil Jazzmaster pickups (heck, I have one in an HH config!) sound almost as awesome as P-90s and if you can play a Jazzmaster well, the sky is the limit, from hot and overdriven to mellow and clean, it has amazing tonal differences across the board. Awesome list. Agreed with every pick, and the JM would be my number six.

If I could go back and do it again, this is likely what I would go for: 1. Squier Strat 2. Epi LP 3. Squier Cabronita Tele 4. Epi Wildkat 5. dunno, maybe a cheap acoustic In my mind, this would cover the widest variety of pickup configurations and classic body types.

That's all fine and dandy but graduate yourself to authenticity and you'll be much happier. Squiers will NEVER sound play or feel better than fenders and epiphones even tho made by Gibson to Gibson's standards will never play sound or feel like a Gibson

Hi Darrell: Thanks for your lucid comments. Back in the 90s when I was looking for a new electric guitar I figured I would get a Gibson Les Paul. Luckily I went to the store and tried a few guitars out on a nice Fender tube amp the store let me use. I was very surprised to find a Guild Bluesbird that both felt and sounded even better than the Les Paul -- maybe the Seymour Duncan humbuckers made the difference, or perhaps the cavity in the body that supposedly improves tone but for sure makes the guitar a bit lighter. Bottom line, as you recommend, always try before you buy!

Wow Darrell this is such an awesome video I love it.😃👍

Ya hit this one out of the park Mr. Braun. I agree 100 percent. I agree 101 percent. I have a Tele, a Strat, a Paul and two Ibanez. I think Ibanez is the best one to "set up" and once done you can see why the shredders favor them. IMO... The Telecaster was the first guitar that was "comfortably'" playable around the 12th fret. I often see guitars where/that the players/owners have worn down the frets in the first position; apparently due to not fretting notes past the third fret. AND I copy your solos constantly. What a beautiful, melodic style you have; love it! (One day, when i'm richer, i'll get a 339 to complete my collection.)

I once played on a vintage Godin that I dont even remember the model and it was the smoothest guitar I've ever played. Nice tone aswell.

Great breakdown. I have the Strat and Les Paul. Eyeing a Tele now. The 335 has also been on my list. Had an Ibanez way back and sold it. I've been trying to find a similar model the last 20+ years. I have a PRS now as well and love that. Keep the vids coming.

Will you make a video on controlling those “slide ups” you’re doing on the les paul recording? That “wooo!” Has always eluded me, and it’s super useful! Any advice would be appreciated!

I know its not really the same but I think everyone should own/build a partscaster, its such a fun experience, its also the best way to learn so much about how a guitar works and learn how to setup a guitar and do fretwork. also your going to end up with your dream guitar when your done!

@@79943 for me, the guitars you have are great because they're super characteristic. As an engineer though, even though they dont have a unique sound, I love that ibanez can do everything in terms of specs. Especially the AZ series, with 24 frets, hsh, non locking trem (strap in a tremolono and you can turn it into a dive only, fully floating, or hardtail) so it can be detuned, all access heel, you get the point. If only I had the cash to get one :)

So, if I get a couple more guitars, I'll be able to play like you? Great!

That was the perfect list for electric guitars. Bravo! I would just add one classical and one acoustic.

Love the list. I have 4 out of 5. I’d suggest a Gretsch G5435T Pro Jet as well. Semi Hollow but smaller body.

None of the guitars you chose can do the Gretsch thing. You should expand to six guitars. The Filter'Tron pickups are so different that they need a category of their own. Just my thoughts. BTW, I love your videos. Great job!

BTW, and to my surprise, between the Filter-Trons and the HiLo-trons, the Gent & the Tenny sound completely different from each other! Don't let the physical similarities fool you, Gretsch makes a wide range of instruments. And AGREED wholeheartedly: GRETSCH should be on ANY professional guitarist's list of MUST-HAVES!

I for the most part agree with your 5 choices, although I’d say as far as Ibanez I would more just say a super strat. Something with a Floyd Rose and modern humbuckers. Ibanez certainly is a leader in those kind of guitars, but I’m more partial towards Charvel. I would add a 6th guitar though, a p90 equipped growler. From Les Paul juniors and specials to p90 equipped SGs, p90 pickups give a unique rocking tone you can’t find anywhere else.

Great list. I've got the first 4, but no Ibanez even though I worked at an Ibanez dealer shop briefly. My fifth is a Dean Cadillac. I think it fits into that spot really nicely. Lots of sustain and feedback when played with gain.

Well, I can’t argue with your choices. Still, I think the Gibson SG deserves at least an honorable mention. It does have its own unique voice. I own at least one of every of the guitars on your must have list. It took me about 30 of the 38 years I’ve been a musician and playing guitar was my first love. I’ve got about 8 bass guitars, four mandolins (five if I include my double neck Tele style with a mandolin as the 2nd neck), a couple of banjos and a soprano and bass ukulele. That’s why it’s taken me as long to obtain what’s on your list plus my SG. Wonderful rabbit trails in the other instruments.

Also check out Greta Van Fleet if you haven’t, great old school SG tone! I think the SG fills a gap between the Les Paul and the Tele, I sort of think of the SG as a fat Tele or a thin and punchy Les Paul, it’s somewhere in between and if you like Rock’n’Roll you need one. :)

Darrell, your expertise is undoubted, and you have chosen 5 excellent guitars. My observation is that Gretsch seems to be the name on everyone's lips currently, their tone is distinctive and attractive, and their range has certainly sparked my interest. Should every guitar player have 6 guitars (or 10)?

@@Grooove_e guitar players tend to emphasize tone over sentimentality when it comes to their instruments. There are major exceptions but barring celebrity's, most guitar players can't just "stick to" anything because they are often chasing a sound and a newer guitar just might help them get there.

1) Stratocaster with a blender knob. 2) Semi-hollow with HH. 3) Superstrat with HSH. Of course its all down to personal preference. I would choose a Fender Stratocaster, a Fender Starcaster and an Ibanez Superstrat.

Awesome choices I have 3 of them like Strat, Ibanez hallow body with Dimarzio pickups and PRS custom 22

Big Ibanez fan. I love mine and yes, it holds it’s own against my GLP. :)

Called it right up to the Ibanez. I’d be interested in seeing this expanded into a Top 10.

Another guitar I'd add is an Epiphone or Gibson SG cause when I first started I had a 1997 Epiphone SG g400 and I loved it. It's kinda like a Les Paul in terms of tone and playability but it gives you lots of great classic rock and hard rock vibes.

I totally agree with these 5 and own 4 out of 5 of them. I also have an Ibanez mikro paul gilbert model to warm up on and a mini bass from Ibanez that I absolutely love. Fender and Ibanez...doesn't get better.

Your dog was rocking out @7:43 !

Great call on Ibanez! I bought a 16 year old artcore af85 and it's just stunning in how is still brand new looking. The pick guard is solid flamed sycamore..surrounded by binding..and there's not even one crack in the binding anywhere. The binding is around the top and bottom of the body, the neck, the head stock, the F holes..and as I mentioned...around the pick guard. The frets are a little more worn down than I thought..which sucks and the case looks like it was in battle...for 10 years. But I'll do a re fret on it when it gets to the point of pissing me off. I'm going to keep this guitar because it's probably 5 times removed as a model they make and every time they have a new one it's not as nice. The newest one doesn't offer the finish I have, violin burst, they only have distressed or painted..I'm guessing because it's way more difficult and expensive to offer a flamed maple top, back and sides then painted! I love Ibanez!!

Interesting choices, and I loved your playing. The piece you play with the two Ibanez guitars sounds eerily familiar. Is it from a real instrumental piece or just done in the style of someone. If so, which one?

Don't forget the Gibson SG. I own and play very well all the guitars that you mentioned. I love all of them. But the SG is my favorite sound. Don't let the head dive bother you, you'll get used to it. Your black SG is a super great guitar.

Great Selection! Those are the most iconics guitars ever maded and you can play what you want with them. I'm a Les Paul lover and have 2 of them (99 r7 and 78 Norlin Custom) and I'm in love with both but i have a Tele too thats it's amazing, it's the singlecoil tone that i was looking for with 7 strat i used to own and never found until i get the Tele, The Ibanez are another history but excelent for lead tones and modern music, the Edge and Edge Pro (or Lo Pro Edge) Trems are excelent, always in tune, i 've a 97 Rg550 and a 7 strings 99 RG7620m they are to easy to play and sound Great: Another brand that have allroad Guitars with superlative Quality is PRS, i own a 513 25th anniversary that is amazing but..... you never will get a Les Paul tone from them it's another sound, more confortable, more faster to play pero if you want a Les Paul Tone you have to get a Les Paul. Now I want a 335 more than ever, it's the most expensive model from Gibson, probably i'll get a Sheraton Epiphone or a Lucille like you play.

I love your Videos! In every video, every guitar sounds great which tells me it is the Amp! What amp and pals are you playing through!

Actually I expected #5 to be a PRS. But one unique guitar you didn't cover (maybe because only low-end versions are still available) is the Gibson Nighthawk. It's my absolute favorite.
