Something subtle and versatile, maybe?




Perhaps reined in a bit?




Or maybe one for the Dads?

Okay @HarrySeven ; time to fess up, how many of these have you got?

It's a little bland, but I agree with the HSS Strat comments. If I was gigging party covers and wanted a single guitar it would be that or a DGT.

That said, the last time I was in that sort of band my main guitars were an SSS Strat with Hot Little Knob and an SG with PAF types. I could happily do a whole set with either of those.

None, honestly!

However...I have been kind of tempted to buy one of those hideous Minarik things, just for the comedy value...

PRS Brent Mason Signature is one of the most versatile guitars out there and will do all you want, but you have to like Maple fretboards.

Yes ,Yes and Yes again.............most fantastically versatile guitar ......can do everything ,like many guitars BUT does everything BRILLIANTLY

Maybe not a great choice if you're keen on bridge pickup volume swells. It's going to look a bit creepy.

Would a suhr tick the boxes?

Tom Anderson Hollow Body Drop Top - superb guitar, light and excellent pickups & switching.

Think that's the intention!

Looks like a painting of a blow-up doll..... according to my mate of course

Not enough necks to be versatile enough for a function band!...

1 for standard tuning
12 string for hotel California 
1 for drop d for “place your hands”
1 tuned down a semitone for sex on fire
1 tuned down to c# for no one knows by qotsa (corporate banker gig)

so five... need a five necked guitar at least!.


oooooo, six, need an acoustic on there as well for faith by George m!...
