Show me your #1 and tell me why

If I could only have 1 neck pickup it would be that.

I wish you hadn't said that! I live on the neck for my pushed cleans and I've been thinking about that cruiser for a loooong time.

Thinking of getting a new EBMM pickguard and leaving the buffer and silent circuit on the original 'guard and playing around with some alternatives.

Ugh. This is gonna cost me!

I say do it! You know how some singles can either be too boomy, or too bright, or both... well the cruiser is very balanced imo. Perfect top end and midrange without being harsh at all. Bottom is tight and never flubby.

Just an unbelievably amazing sounding and playing guitar. The neck on this beast is second to none for playability and comfort.
It is one of the Empire 67 Fender CS guitars. This one has a relic'd Duncan RTM in the bridge, a hand wound CS single in the middle and a relic'd EVH frankenstein in the neck. 5 way switching with treble bleed. The metal pickguard is awesome as well.

Mine is a tie for #1

Holy shit!

Hotness

You should get one of those 8 string RGs with the 4-a-side headstock and put it in the middle, fusing all three together.

Perfectly balanced triple-neck RG of doom.

That’s a beautiful guitar,but I like seeing them like this.

Damn! That thing is thick! And that neck..., talk about baseball bats...

Nice looking guitar! Worthy of a second post

Yeah, nice to know that it's still his #1 more than a year later.

It's currently tied between these two:

Those Charvel necks are the best ever!

The Anderson Even Taper -.02" is also very comfy.

I may put the same Duncan SSL-6 single coils the Charvel has into the Anderson (I found a full set used a while back) and also plan to put and Anderson HC-3 into the bridge of the Charvel. I really liked those humbuckers.

Anderson guitars are too notch too and Charvels are cool as well. Love those colors.

The Suhr guitars, specifically the Thornley model, has really squelched the guitar gas for me for a good while for sure.

This is my #1. It has been since it showed up at my place in 2015. I had this custom built by Suhr. It is a carve top Standard with a one piece quilt top. It has a mahogany back, maple neck with rosewood board. It does everything I ask of it and does it very well. I get a great thick but bright tone out of the single coils on it and the humbucker is pretty versatile. I have a stable full of high end guitars and this one is the one I reach for every time when I am playing in a band context. My #2 is a PRS 594 that I put 57/08 pickups in. These two guitars are all I need for just about any gig. My 594 is a custom color. I threw in a picture of it for a bonus...

Unf. Hot. What pups are in your custom Standard?

This nails it on so many levels for me. My next partscaster will most likely be a Mars/Holmes build, CBS-style headstock and a Floyd FTW!!!!!

That Suhr is .

The single coils are ML Standards and the humbucker is an SSV+. They work really well together.

This is one of four Novo guitars that are in my collection. This is my goto axe right now because of the neck feel and the Throbak SLE-101 pickups.
