The Magnificent Seven...

[zhivago]

Look at your CD/Vinyl/MP3 music collection, then give me 7 guitars that will cover the sounds.

I'll start...my Magnificent Seven?

Fender Jazzmaster
Fender Telecaster
Gibson Les Paul
Gibson ES-335
Rickenbacker 360
Gibson Explorer
Martin D 28

Go!

[JTurbide]

Vox Ultrasonic/cheetah
Vox Starstream
Vox Phantom XII
Fender Jaguar/Jazzmaster
Gibson ES-335
An Acoustic guitar...

[marqueemoon]

Fender Telecaster
Fender Jazzmaster
Fender Stratocaster
Silvertone 1303/U2 reissue
Gibson Les Paul
Gibson ES-125TDC
Martin 00-17

This would cover about 95% of the guitar music in my collection. Bad Brains is the only band I listen to that would require a proper shredder guitar. 12 string can be faked these days, so yeah. Only 1 acoustic, but the 00-17 is equally good for fingerstyle and strummed parts.

The more I think about it the ES-125TDC would get used a lot. Everything from punk to jazz. The Silvertone would have to cover Ric and LP Junior type sounds or anything else single coil the others can't do.

The LP is the only humbucker guitar, but I can't see another really being needed.

Harmony Sovereign ??

[sookwinder]

Fender Strat
Epiphone Riviera
Hofner Club Bass
Epiphone Cortez
Gibson Hummingbird (or Epiphone Frontier)
Gibson J45 (or J50)
Fender Jazz bass

[JTurbide]

An Acoustic guitar...

Harmony Sovereign ??

[Shadoweclipse13]

My music is kinda all over the place, and makes mine kinda simple, but the sounds are there

Jazzmaster
Telecaster
Strat
P-Bass
EB MusicMan Bass
Classical/Spanish acoustic
Gibson 335

If I wanted to be REAL accurate, I'd also throw in a piano and a cello

[sookwinder]

if we are discussing keyboards as well.

Hammond
Wurlitzer EP
Roland EP
Pianet N
Pianet T
Ensoniq ESQ

[PixMix]

My top x list of what I listen changes all the time. Right now it would probably be:

1. LP w / p90s
2. Jaguar
3. Jazzmaster
4. Telecaster
5. LP Standard
6. Strat
7. ES 335 or a similar semi-hollow

[zhivago]

Some really interesting choices here guys! Keep 'em coming

[leokula]

SEVEN? LMAO that doesn't seem like a challenge, man... I think you can cover all the sounds of all the albums in every genre ever made in the world with 7 guitars!

Still...... here they are

Jaguar
Jazzmaster
Mustang
Tele
Les Paul
Casino
Strat

Oh, what a coincidence, that's my own personal guitar collection but yeah, I think I can cover all my fave artists tonez with them.

Two guitars would make me think harder tho.

#1 : Fender Jazzmaster
#2 : Fender Telecaster
#3 : Gibson 00 Acoustic Guitar
#4 : Gibson es-295
#5 : Fender Stratocaster
#6 : Gibson Les Paul 57-59 reissue
#7 : Rickenbacker 12 strings

[BoringPostcards]

#1: Fender Jazzmaster
#2: Rickenbacker 330
#3: Gibson SG Standard (1961 specs)
#4: Fender Mustang
#5: Fender Jaguar
#6: G&L ASAT Special
#7: Fender XII

[fuzzjunkie]

A rough estimate by use, although it might not be the number one of either guitarist if more than one guitar in the band:
Fender Jazzmaster-90%
Fender Telecaster-85%
Fender Stratocaster-45%
Gretsch-mostly Tennesean/Duo Jet-35%
Epiphone Casino-35%
Rickenbacker 360-12-30%
Fender Jaguar-25%

There are a smattering of Les Paul/335 users, the odd-ball Vox or Harmony and Fender Bass VI, but most everyone plays one of those 7.

Very cool...I am very interested in the acoustic/semi side of things...we are getting some cool suggestions
