Silver: Early 60's Gibson ES335

Bronze: Mid 80's Ibanez George Benson Signature

Of course I'll never be able to afford any of these but we can all dream right?

This is pretty much my list, except for the bronze, which I couldn't really turn my nose up at. Dunno what I'd have instead, though.

Is it the early 60's 335's that had a slightly skinnier neck and lighter sound from them?

Oops, forgot one...this is probably either tied for silver or bronze.

They varied alot but I think they were slightly skinnier. I found this chart though.

I'm not really sure to be honest. I just know I'd love one.

I wouldn't mind having a few Fender Flames or Fender Esprites in different finishes and tremolo/tail options.

Fender Flame Ultra - Autumn Burst

Fender Flame Ultra - with tremolo..... rather have it in autumn burst or black

Fender Flame Ultra

Fender Esprite Elite

Fender Esprite Ultra

My Fender Flame

I don't know why I said "sometimes of this parish." maybe because I forgot about his mustang VI project. that thing is cool tho.

Jazzmaster doesn't count. It's my MITHRIL. It doesn't go on a list.

What's wrong with not giving a fuck about the it looking a bit rough round the edges but giving a fuck about having good parts on the guitar? You may as well have put the last line as...

...and then you see the Bare Knuckle humbucker. *facepalm*

stewart · Post by **stewart** » Sun Feb 13, 2011 10:47 pm

i don't see any reason whatsoever for putting a mastery bridge on a mustang.

Maybe because those clever chaps at Mastery gave Sonic Youth a load of prototype bridges to test on their kit? (This is what they did, by the way, rather than supposition on my part) I'm guessing they asked them to test them on all flavours of guitar, hence the Mustang.

(I secretly quite like the design, idea and engineering of the Mastery bridge, and would buy one, except the tuning on my Jazzmaster is rock solid...).

Mages · Post by **Mages** » Sun Feb 13, 2011 11:37 pm

yeah, the humbucker that's been crudely installed slap in the middle of the guitar, somehow that doesn't strike me with the same whiff of pointless extravagance as the mastery bridge. the man can do whatever he likes with his guitar. I just think it's daft that's all.
