What Is Your Most Underdog Guitar?

[TJontheRoad]

Simple question... What guitar do you love the most that seems to get no respect from anyone else?

For me, it's this MIJ John Page Classic AJ. I never understood why the JPC guitars didn't really catch fire. It's a solid axe that never fails to give what I expect out it. Not all guitars I own can do that.

Probably my Solar, due to being a Youtuber guitar + Indo + Evertune.

Definitely punches far above its weight and the more broken in this gets the happier I am with it. It definitely didn’t help that in the beginning of the pandemic a few Solars went out and developed fingerboard cracks, which was immediately WAY blown ut of context where people made it seem like every guitar would get the crack. To date I believe I have seen 3 actual guitars with cracked fingerboards.

Mine was a b-stock and it took me 5 minutes to find the “dent” that made them sell it for less….and it’s on the face of the guitar. I don’t even think you can see it in the pic above. Flawless frets, impeccable fit/finish all around, even with the dent. My only gripe is the electronics, you can just tell they’re cheap. But this thing cost me a whopping $1200, I’ll gladly take a well built guitar and swap out some guts.

I almost said my Ibanez SZ, but like most things with Ibanez, people actually dig those and Ibanez just doesn’t want to make them again.

Depends on what it weighs right? I mean, to be an underdog or overdog.

Ended up selling it but for me it was the Squier Jim Root Tele. That neck is incredible and with a pickup swap it would be a killer guitar if you like that shape.

My Godin Summit Classic P90, for me simply amazing
