0:50 "I'm not saying you need to own 5 guitars to be a good guitar player". Of course not, that would be a stupid thing to say. You need much more than that.

The 5 guitars every guitarist can’t afford

[potatoheadhaoy]

I record my own music, so whenever I buy a guitar, I think of these categories, and what the guitar I want is in:

1: humbucker, conventional. Stuff like SGs, 335s, Les Pauls, PRSs, basically. They're in my opinion the most versatile, since you can play anything from the blues to grindcore, or shoegaze, or whatever it is you want.

2: single coil, conventinoal. Your strats, teles and jaguars. You just can't get that single coil bite with a humbucker, so naturally you'll want something that can deliver that kind of a tone.

Guitar one or two is going to be "the one." It's a guitar that lets you play the most comfortably, and gives you your favorite tone.

3: the workhorse. Something you won't lose sleep over when it gets dinged up, and you can just throw around without worrying about it getting stolen. Mostly for gigging and rehearsing. It's the Les Paul Studio for me.

4: acoustic. Everyone needs one. It's great for songwriting and performing, especially since you can play both alone or with a band unlike an electric.

3:the "weird" one. Anything from a djent stick to a danelectro 12-string. Just something that does something crazy and weird, that allows you to express something you just can't with a regular guitar.

[stardust-reverie]

5 ibanez 9 strings all with floyd roses and stupidly hot active pickups that distort immediately as soon as you try to play them clean

[danielsgrunge]

For me is:

#1 — *The Strat.*
You know why.

#2 — *Les Paul*
That heavy sound and feel, you just need it.

#3 — *Mustang*
A short scale guitar, tuned a half step down and loaded with .10 gauge strings, sounds raw and "twangy" at the same time. Unique.

#4 — *A Superstrat/Floyd Rose Guitar*
Cause I know you love metal, don't try to fool me xD

#5 — *Jaguar*
Are you going to surf? Mine makes me feel in the 60's. Pick up a Surf Green one for extra power.

Honorable mentions, Mustang, Firebird, Jazzmaster, Prs, Gretsch.

My list of essential guitars for rock players (in no particular order, and from my collection):

1) Fender Telecaster - that's where it all started. The working man's guitar with that classic twang.

2) Fender Strat - Fender's 2nd masterpiece. From Hendrix to Yngwie, it's versatile and timeless.

3) Gibson Les Paul - I can still hear the sustain from yesterday! Plus, no guitar screams "rock star" more.

4) PRS Custom 24 (core series) - just a masterpiece. I have never picked up a guitar that felt more natural to play.

5) Ibanez Prestige RG - super shred machine! Alternatively, any Jackson or Charvel USA made guitar, but I had to put the Prestige up front because it's an amazing value.
