So, pretty self explanatory. Post your guitars (pics if you feel like it, but not required) and prove why they are awesome. It can be acoustic, electric, carved from the wood of George Washington's cherry tree, whatever, just proove that it is awesome. Let's see what kind of gear the Escapist is rockin out with!
I personally own 2 SG's and a "Frankenstrat" that I have modified to the point of being almost unrecognizeable.
My first SG is a Cherry Red 2010 Gibson standard, and it is awesome for all the reasons you would expect, mainly being that it's the main axe of AC/DC, Black Sabbath, and Budgie. Plus, something about holding it just makes you feel badass. My friend was playing it through a Marshall halfstack at his house and it broke the string of a guitar across the room, proving its badassery.
My second SG is an Epiphone 1961 Les Paul Custom model. Its based of the rediculously expensive 3 pickup Gibson SG, and is black and white with Gold hardware. It sounds like a wierd hybrid between an SG and a Les Paul due to the third pickup, and plays almost exactly like a Gibson. Whenever I do lessons or play live, I usually play it, since its super versatile and just has such a cool sound.
And finally, the Frankenstrat. I have no idea what it was before I got it, but whoever owned it did not know what a guitar was. It was covered in duct tape, had red koolaide stains all over it (I hope to god it was koolaide) and had carved all sorts of obscene words and symbols into the neck that if I were to type them would get me perma banned. I rebuilt and restored the guitar myself at the guitar store that I helped out at, and eventually the owner let me buy it for 40 bucks. I eventually ended up sticking some Jackson King V humbuckers in it, and have replaced almost every crappy part with something awesome. I use it as my metal guitar, and every time I play it in public it turns heads (although maybe not in a good way lol)
