OK, so I'll paint the scene. You're in some sort of music Hall Of Fame in about 20 years. You turn the corner and it hits you like a message from the heavens. A guitar in a glass case, perfect lighting from nice dramatic angles. It looks so alive. So tasty. Wow, you got to see it. You will never forget it.

Who's guitar is it? (so and so's whatchumacallit answers please)

I'll start. For me, it'd be Keith's Telecaster. (Surprised? I''m so shallow)

It would have to be my 1960 Hofner V2................................

I started with nothing - and I've still got most of it left.

First, nice collection there to TL!!

I have a list:
1- Page's LP from the 77 US Tour
2- Zappa's LP he used on Shut Up and Play...
3- Gilmour's Strat used on The Wall

Teamwork- A few harmless flakes working together can unleash an avalanche of destruction.
