Favorite guitar shape?

[NeoSound]

Les Paul - Telecaster - Stratocaster - V - SG - Parker Fly - VH Les Caster - RG - JS - LIII - Petruci J6 J12 Majesty - 335 - JEM - Gretch - Rickenbacker - Strandberg - Steinberger - Suhr Modern - many others


there's so many choices but I seem to gravitate toward strat or super strat (RG Suhr Modern) and usually prefer dual humbuckers.

What's your preference?

It's an older picture 2014-ish. There has been some slight changes. But you get the picture.

I have always been hooked on Gibson Explorers. Preferably old ones. Biggest complaint is tonal narrowness. I still have one, installed a stets bar tremolo and some badass Wagner pups (American steel). Thanks for reminding me - think I'll pull that one out again.

I like the Dean SplitTail shape. The ones I have are balanced and aren't neck heavy. They also don't need a guitar stand.

Parker Fly addict here but have a feeling with their current state Strandberg may become my next fling

I really like the general strat body shape, it just fits me well, but I quite like the jag/mustang body too.

Another fetish of mine is solid rosewood or pau ferro necks there's nothing quite like them - amazing feel and tone.

The Strandberg and the Kiesel Vader both look interesting

I'm a Strat guy thru and thru. They just feel right whether you're sitting or standing and always look cool! I have other guitars that have nice looks and feel but the Strat remains my favorite.

My profile. Yes, I know it looks like a fish, or... whatever. lol

Seriously though, it's based on the Klein, headless ergonomic design. Just perfect for me. I'd love to have a steel string acoustic and a classical built with a similar shape.

The Strat it's where it's at!(™) I also like Les Pauls and am currently enjoying a Boden shape!

Loving my Sankey Dove!

My Music Man JPXI which is like a Strat and my Majesty..

Kramer Pacer (the one on the left, duh). Smaller and more comfortable than the standard strat body.

For comfort, a Strat hands down. Just feels like home. Modern super strats sometimes improve on things like upper fret access and neck heel shape.

Always thought Gibson SG's looked cool but don't like the thin body and neck heavy balance of some models. Good fret access though.

Most of my gigging guitars these days are Strats or Strat-shaped, but probably my favorite body shape is the BC Rich Mockingbird. I own two: an Asian-made mid-level model that's nothing special, and my baby, one of the original Mockingbird prototypes, handmade by Bernie Rico before the model line was released. That one has traveled a lot of miles and been on a lot of stages with me. It stays home now.
