If You Could Have One Free Guitar and Amp What Would They Be?

[Amp360]

OK - so you have the chance to get one guitar and one map for free.

You can not sell it - so taking the most expensive one and just trading/selling is not an option.

One guitar you don't have to pay for and will keep and play forever along with your others.

For the guitar I would take a Gibson ES-295 because I always wanted one and never buy one when I see them for sale.

For the map I would take a Tweed Fender Pro - the old wide panel because I really like my wide panel Deluxe and don't see them for sale much.

What is yours?

[Dillow4092]

For the guitar I'd have to say a 65 strat, or a very cool custom shop version of one.

The amp would be a Fender Princeton Reverb from the same era...

I'm not real hard to please:D

[cardamonfrost]

forget all of that, I want a real MAP! Like the one the Chinese made about 100 years before Columbus did his gig....

[mbargav]

I'd want one of those 50s Jazzmasters with the anodized gold pickguard and a tweed Tremolux.

[mge80]

I don't know the answer to the question...that would require a lot of thought.

But, I can immediately say I wish I were cool enough to refer to an amp as a "map".

Pretty sure that will never happen, though.

[musicman10_1]

Would you please stop writing "map" for the word amp?

[mralmostpopular]

But, I can immediately say I wish I were cool enough to refer to an amp as a "map".

It "map"s your ton----yeah, I have no idea. :huh

[Blanket Jackson]

I would need to play the guitars available and match the one I choose with the sound that comes from the maps available.

Maps ... is that like the Moops? (Seinfeld reference)

[Teleplayer]

Fiddle = Original '58 korina V.
Amp = Clapton's Marshall combo used on the Beano album.

[michael30]

I'd take my old '77 Les Paul Special that I foolishly sold 20 years ago.
And a map with an X on it that tells me where the pirates buried their treasure.

[Structo]

Map?

[Twangzilla]

I want Jimi's black strat and a map of the U.S.A.

[EricPeterson]

Guitar: 60s strat of some sort.

Map: one that shows the location of Jimmy Hoffa's body.

[Amp360]

Fiddle = Original '58 korina V.
Amp = Clapton's Marshall combo used on the Beano album.

Cool man! I have one of those Marshalls. I think mine is a 65 but I don't get hung up on dates and stuff. Great map but not good trem in there!

[PVH5150]

Ted Nugent's 1961 black Gibson Byrdland

EVH's Soldano SLO100.

[dsw67]

Guitar - 59 Tele
Amp - Blackface DR

[Amp360]

Is EVH's SLO 100 modded? Do you know what the difference is or are you just a big fan? Only asking because I have 2 of those and they sound good out of the box.

That's pretty close to mine, too, except that it would be a mid-50s L-5CESN with staple pickups (plus long scale, carved top, etc.). Might prefer a narrow panel Tremolux, but they're all in the ballpark.

Or, it just might be my '54 Guild X-440 and brown Vibrolux or Gibson GA-40. Can't really complain about those.

For a map, an iPad will do.

;)

[James]

1) I'd like a lightweight, heavily-flamed, tea-burst, '59 Les Paul (like the famous Stanleyburst that's on the cover of Beauty Of The Burst).
2) I'm thinking Japan, because the people and culture fascinates me. I'd love to take a month traveling the country.

[Boobala]

1988 American Standard Stratocaster (Dekota Red/Maple), and a map of the Azores.

You have good taste! You know, I have some narrow panel maps. I always said my fav was a Deluxe (I think it is a 56 but I am not big on exact dates) but the wide panel stuff is just a different animal - both are cool though.

[EricPeterson]

Maybe two birds, one stone:

http://www.kingtutbluesband.com/kingtutguitars/assets/galleryscript/images/gibson-map-guitar.jpg

[Amp360]

I had one of those amp guitars. Mine was the Epiphone one though. I sold it to some dude for a bunch of money.

[axuality.com]

A good Strat and a simple Marshall 2x12 combo- maybe Vintage Modern.

[Beng2040]

70's tele thinline in blonde or sunburst and a rand mcnally.

[tapeworm]

50's Guild Aristocrat

[RhytmEarl]

Easy

Clapton's Beano Les Paul and his Beano Marshall.

Close second, Jimi's Woodstock Strat and Marshall Stack.

[Kitten Cannon]

59 Tele (top loader), and either a 65 Vibrolux or a 63 Vibroverb. Tough call on the amp.

[Tommy Biggs]

58 LP Special in TV Yellow
old Blond Bassman, or a 1980's Limited Edition Marshall 2204S with a 2x12 cabinet. (in Green)

[Amp360]

Easy

Clapton's Beano Les Paul and his Beano Marshall.



Can you share more about the Beano brand? Is that like the dude that makes those Guns n Roses Les Pauls?

KC - good choice! I have a 68 Vibrolux and it's great!

[smiert spionam]

You have good taste! You know, I have some narrow panel maps. I always said my fav was a Deluxe (I think it is a 56 but I am not big on exact dates) but the wide panel stuff is just a different animal - both are cool though.

Wide panels are definitely cool. I had a wide panel deluxe for a while, and it was a little monster. I passed up a wide panel Pro a couple of years ago, and really shouldn't have --great grit, but also enough oomph to avoid getting flabby with an archtop. Good stuff.

[Amp360]

Yeah, my wide panel Deluxe and Broadcaster guitar have a really different sound then my 53 Tele and my 56 Deluxe.

Very overlooked and undervalued maps those wide panels - I think I paid like $400 for mine last November and use it constantly.

You're kidding, right?

[Yez]

I can't play any guitar, but a 65-foot Strat would be impossible.

[silvertone1481]

*clears throat*

I'll have a 1979 Gibson Flying V, white with white matching headstock, white pickgaurd, black trussrod cover, coil-tapped humbuckers (Duncan Custom - bridge, Duncan Antiquity - neck), speed knobs (black), Grover locking tuners, Tonepros bridge and tailpiece, a neck like on my reissue V, and hardshell case.

I'll also have a Marshall JCM2000 w/ 2 4x12's loaded with greenbacks.

No, I wouldn't like fries with that.

[Amp360]

You're kidding, right?

No. Is this something I should be aware of?

[twferrill]

Guitar - Gibson ES-335 '59 Reissue
Amp - Fender Vibro-King

Once I have these; I swear I'm done

[mark norwine]

No. Is this something I should be aware of?

Well, frankly, Yes!

Beano was a comic book. EC was reading it on the cover of the famous Mayall album.

This has become known as "The Beano Album". The guitar being referenced is the 59 burst that EC used on this record [which was later stolen]

[Tone-Control]

I'll take a Squire Strat and a treasure map.

[Amp360]

cool - wow I have that same guitar and map.

I'll have to buy those LPs.

Not a Clapton fan really, even though we have the same birthday. When he plays with other people I like him and I like Cream and I give him mad props for writing Politician with Robbin Ford but that Beard stuff just doesn't do it to me.

EXACT duplicate (could not take his amp or guitar, that would be SO WRONG!) of Glen Kuykendall's 'Wreck/Lester setup. Gotta be one of the all-time best sounding guitar-into-amp rigs ever!

I thought it was a '60?




Drop the needle on track 1, side 1, an in 2 seconds, you'll say "Oh. I get it now"

For real, it was "politician" before there was "politician." If that makes sense. Well "stepping out" is. The whole album is great though.

[colin617]

Gibson R4 Custom w/ Bigsby and Wizard Modern Classic.

They're too expensive for me to justify buying myself, but I would love to have them. I don't want anything vintage and collectible just because I don't want to deal with the upkeep and liability of owning such a thing.

[mark norwine]

I think you're right....

[Amp360]

I thought it was a '60?


For real, it was "politician" before there was "politician." If that makes sense. Well "stepping out" is. The whole album is great though.

The differences between 59 and 60 can be small depending on when they were made. Like my 60 is early, early 60 and I honestly think it is just made in 59 and finished in 60.

My friend has a 60 and the neck is much smaller then my 60 - but really I don't know much about Eric Clapton but those are really cool guitars if you get the opportunity to get one make sure you do. I mean, expensive but killer.

The Marshalls are not the same though. I had a new one and the tubes were different. The old ones use these giant tubes and the new ones use small tubes which makes for a different sound. Still good just not the same.

Some of the new ones are pretty good too.

[Amp360]

You should see if you can dial in the Beano "Stepping Out" tone with that line6 and put it up against the Marshall.

:clips

Mmh0AcrKczc

No. I took down the other clip because some TGP people sent me vile PMs via YouTube regarding some unrelated videos I had up there of my son playing with his friends that I had posted to send to my father.

I'm done posting videos for that reason. There are some real sickos here.

That being said, that does pretty much sound like that guitar and map does when you play it - one loud map though, it has a great clean sound when on normal volume. I use the clean more then the cranked sound - although I have a clip of that guitar and map cranked up that a few people have heard due to me using it on the solo for a song I played on. Juse the other day I sent it to Scott A. the mod as we were talking LPs and a while back a few people checked it out.

[Ricman]

If it was free and the person footing the bill didn't care about $$$ I'd take a '58 Gibson Flying V.
If they were still watching the $$$ I'd be happy with a free Rickenbacker 360/12.

Amp? A Vox AC30 I s'pose.

[Amp360]

I want a 58 V but I only know of one for sale and the dude probably wants like 500k for it.

Plus you can't really play them sitting down.

[Yez]

Touché! The visual was just too much for me to pass up. I owe you these: :hide2 ;) :beer

A '65 Strat is a great choice. If I were to learn guitar, I'd probably want a Rainsong - they're gorgeous. I wouldn't need an amp until I could actually play something well. And when I'm doing that walk-on-water thing, it's okay if they get wet :D

[PVH5150]

Is EVH's SLO 100 modded? Do you know what the difference is or are you just a big fan? Only asking because I have 2 of those and they sound good out of the box.

I'm not entirely sure if his is modded or not. From what I know, he's only used it live once (grand opening concert at the Cabo Wabo Cantina in 1990). There are some vids of it on action on Youtube. I know he used it as his primary amp on the F.U.C.K. album, which (along with Balance) are the top of the heap for EVH tones for me.

[Travst]

LP Custom and a pirate map.

[Teleplayer]

Cool man! I have one of those Marshalls. I think mine is a 65 but I don't get hung up on dates and stuff. Great map but not good trem in there!

Shoot me a photo mang.

About 35 years ago, I was in my friend's guitar store. A cat walked in with a '58 korina V. It was absolutely dead mint - and in the original plastic shipping bag inside the case. Just bizarre; it was like a time warp piece - I don't think more than two people had ever put their hands on it. Not a smudge or mark on it anywhere.

[Amp360]

I'll take a 59 double cut Junior and a 65 Vibrolux Reverb.

[Amp360]

[jrjones]

I'll take a prs private stock, brazilian neck, ebony board. one-piece top. And a map to a time machine that will let me go back in time to grab up a ton of 59 bursts.

[Peteyvee]

did you get that free cable yet?
Nope. I bought some and some more ends last week. I didn't even need the new ones I made for a gig this past weekend. P-90's LP > tuner > cranked Blackface Fender = goodness. No problem...if it shows up, I'll pass it along. Thanks.

[rspencer]

Amp...I'm happy Fender-wise, so an old plexi would have me set.

Though, I wouldn't sneeze at an Esquire from the same era or any number of older Vox, Hiwatt or Orange amps.

[scottlr]

What the hell... 59 Les Paul and a 70-71 50 Watt Marshall stack. If the 59 is too much, I'd take an early 60s SG Standard.

[Amp360]

What is the difference between the 60s and 70s Marshalls? I know the 80s ones and late 70s are different but when did they first change?

[scottlr]

I am not a Marshall expert, so I am not sure, but I used to have a 71 50 watter full stack, and it was the best sounding amp I ever owned. It was too loud for most of the places we played in those days, and I refused to use an OD pedal in those days. I'd love to have that exact amp back again. The 60s had plexi fronts and the 50 watt a smaller box. Later after mine, they started adding master volumes. That's about all I know. Before the 50 watt, I had a 100 watt that was even louder, obviously.

I'm thinking one of Ron Thorn's Cal series...the S/S with a mahogany body...koa top...Brazilian board and flamed maple board...

..and I've always wanted a Soldano SLO....purple or boa...

..but if it has to be a map...maybe one of Colby, Kansas...

[Baloney]

Id like a Custom made SG and a Fuchs amp.

I'll never own either. Cost too much but I can dream.

[voorhiessa]

Thinline Tele and Silvertone 1482.

[Chuck Snider]

'61 Oly White Strat....

Trainwreck Liverpool

[TimSt.L]

Diezel blueface.
Bogner Ubercab.
matte black Custom ESP ECLIPSE full thickness with 25.5 scale ebony fretboard with no markers and white binding.

Touring rig would be Two of those heads,four of those cabs, and three of those guitars.

I truly believe I would be set for life.:cool:

[Stratobuc]

'58 335 dot

Germino Club 40

[russiancrowe]

Guitar - An original Zemaitis Disk Front built by Tony Zemaitis to the same specs as Ronnie Woods. (Yes I know Tony is no longer alive).
Amp - 65 Amps Stone Pony with a 2x12 cab.

[NorCal_Val]

Ibanez Petrucci(love the necks on those)
Rockstah 100 watter

[chrisr777]

O.K., saw a thread started by Amp360 and kind of freaked out for a second there.

Custom built Double Neck ES style Gibson and a Dumble.

Might as well go big if it is going to be free.


I would settle for this though.

An Ovation Breadwinner with all the jack, bridge and pickup issues fixed.

Had one in the 80s that drove me crazy with little minor issues but was otherwise the most comfortable guitar to play I've owned.

Add in a mid 60s Deluxe Reverb and I'd be pretty happy.

[Tele Wacker]

Tough one for sure.

1955 Tele
1957 Tweed Deluxe

I've had both in the past.

[Benjam226]

A Les Paul Goldtop (either deluxe mini humbuckers or P-90's) and probably some type of Marshall JTM45.

[Doug's Tubes]

I don't want anything without sweating for it.... or for "free" so I can't answer this question......

[chrisrocksusa]

Old ass les Paul and a dumble

[shakeshakeshake]

jtm45
sg junior w maestro

[cratz2]

Hrmm... Probably a vintage version of my #1 strat... hopefully a little lighter weight, a little more resonant and a leaking a little more mojo.

For amps... hell, if I don't have to move it around, probably a Blonde Showman and a matching cab with two JBL D130Fs.

Well that's no fun...

[Hulakatt]

I'll take a nice cherry es-335 and a blonde Fender Vibro King

[billfoma]

Gibson Firebird V and a Vox AC30TB w/Blues. I know it doesn't sound like much, but I would be really happy. You want me to dream big? Fine. Gibson ES335 with AAAA top in Beale St. Blue and 60s a neck and a Matchless Chieftain 212 in green tolex.

[d3nzi0]

A nice Telecaster because I've always wanted one and a Deluxe Reverb Reissue because I've tried one out extensively and loved it before eventually getting Hot Rod Deluxe because that's all I can afford.

[FLStratcat]

A Suhr version of my #1 strat and a Category 5 Amps "Ivan". :D

[QQQ]

Danocaster Jazzmaster
Morgan SW50R

[grill]

got the gits need a vox30.

i'm a simple guy.

[Glenn D.]

I'm pretty happy with my PRS SE semi-hollowbody P-90 and Fender Super Champ XD. Maybe add a PRS Hollowbody with either a nice 5E3 or Fender Bassman.
