Ovation Legends, 1777 the new ones and the electronics is awesome. I have an original Ovation legned deep bowl 1717 from 1983.
Also for electrics I like Gibson custom Les Paul Guitars, and that Ibanze jazz guitar George Benson owns would be nice to find some day for a future guitar I dream of.

The guitar that I always wanted is a Jackson rr3 with an eerie dess swirl finish.

Hmmm.........IMO the arch enemies of the guitar world. I'm a Tele fan mylelf. Would love to own a thinline one day. I owned a LP long enough to hate them with a passion.

wtf? is up with everyone and their dog tripping over themselves to get teles these days?

it seems that in the last 2-3 years it's somehow become THE guitar of choice. i'm just curious here. it's like the kurt cobain jazzmaster / jaguar effect only i haven't noticed the source of the tele love.

They're very versatile stylistically and they have that signature "icy twang" to em'.

the tele is the only fender guitar i'd buy. dont like the jagure, mustang, jazzmaster or even the strat. teles are really versatile and feel nice and also have a very distinctive look to them (which does matter. no matter what anyone says)

i really dont like guitars with that cutaway on the top of the body on the back tho. it angles up the neck and screws me up. plus if you're not careful you're more likely to get carpal tunnel.

that's cool and all, but i'm not really trying to get personal justification for preferences. i'm just curious as to why it's become so popular recently. my cousin has one and it's a great guitar, not really my thing but i'm not gonna knock it. just wondering where all the attention is coming from.

I was going to get a jag but, they're not cheap and the mexican version is **** so, I ended up getting a tele. I wonder if I can replace the humbucker at the neck with a jazzmaster pickup and is it possible to put a vox pickup at the bridge?

i think its just been out of style for so long that they're comming back. you know how things go in and out of style.
