I was thinking about this last night . . . but in my 30 years of playing guitar (and the countless guitars I've bought/sold/played), I've never actually played . . .

- a PRS
- a Jaguar
- a Jazzmaster
- a Washburn
- a BC Rich
- a Jackson (but owned a Charvel)
- any jazz box
- and most acoustic brands



I've just never got around to trying them . . . I need to expand my horizons.

Having played all of the above, my recommendation to you would be to find a prs first, then an American Jackson.

Find a Jazzmaster immediately. /endthread

I have to agree!

I have to agree!

I don't.

I was recently thinking about this as well. In almost 13 years of playing guitar, I've never played any of the following:

Fender Jazzmaster
Fender Jaguar
Gibson Explorer
Gibson Flying V
Gibson ES-335
Gibson ES-175
any PRS
any Gibson Historic
any Heritage
any Gretsch
any Rickenbacker

I'm quite familiar with the sounds of most of these instruments, but I've never played them myself. I guess I've been too satisfied with teles to bother.

A single trip to a Guitar Center could take many of these guitars off your list.

One tip... leave your wallet at home. You're probably going to like some of these!

My brother has a 36 fret Washburn (ec36?). Would love to find one but don't think there are many around, or folks don't sell them.

 

[cherrick]

mine:
Gibson J200
Gibson Everly Brothers
D'Angelico
D'Aquisto
Laura Manzer (sp?)
'59 'Burst (or 58, or 60)

I have never played a PRS but would love to play one. The GC closest to me has them 80 feet in the air or behind glass.

 

[Gitarman]

I've been playing just over 30 years as well.

Here's my list of guitars/ brands that I've yet to play:

USA PRS
Carvin
Parker
Gretsch
Hamer
Suhr
Heritage
G&L
Godin


& some that I haven't played, but have no real desire to :

Most high-end Jazz boxes
Fender Jazzmaster, Jaguar, etc.
Rikenbacker

Bear in mind that 'a prs' is many different guitars. Playing one will not tell you what playing a different model will/could be.

53 yrs here..... no shredders yet

From a practical point of view, if you've been playing for thirty years and have gotten by without playing any them, it's probably not a big deal that you haven't. And if you do make a point of it, it's only going to cost you money!

PRS wide-fat neck!!! You`ll love it.

 

[Singlecutz]

...and yet you continue to live. Amazing.

ive never had sex with an italian chick, a chinese girl, a latina....

 

[EthanB]

Never played...
anything PRS
ES335
Any Gretsch

too many 1 man shops to count.

 

[colinesquire]

This is funny to think about. I've never played a Gibson les Paul-really. But have played jrs specials & owned a few old sg's. Only played a strat once in 1992. Have played all sort of oddballs-supro, national, hagstrom, teisco, harmony etc. I do love teles though!

JAZZMASTER? JAGUAR? PRS? why have you been sheltered from awesomeness for so long?
