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.
Actually, I like to think that the strat is the AR-15 of guitars. They're modular, work pretty much everytime, loved by pretty much everyone, light, and versatile.
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.
I would do it a little differently, but just for number 5. I would put number 5 as a bass, because sometimes you just want to be able to play stuff on a bass, and number 6 is the weird one, where I would go for a 9 string cause I live for djent.
@@doomslayer_ch4280 Oh, I made this list strictly for guitar, bass guitars were not included because those are different category altogether with a different set of criteria.
+Buck Futter: Wow. An arrogant rich person. Y'know, 60% of American workers can't afford $1000, like if they're mother dies in a different state or something. I sometimes wonder if I'd be an arrogant twat if I wasn't disabled, but, nah.
well, he actually put them into the correct ranges - what was missing was a recommendation for beginner guitars (below 200 bucks I'd say). The 400 version was his recommendation for the first "next level" guitar - and you won't see a lot of options in that price/quality range. I liked the point about the versatility of a strat, by the way. I actually started with a 100€ strat by a no-name brand more than ten years ago. When I got better, I started replacing the parts..another neck, other pickups etc, piece by piece whenever I was able to afford something. The only thing left original is the body (which was okay from the beginning)..and I love this thing until today. I've got one or two better guitars today - But this is the guitar I'm enjoying the most. Too bad I'm just a bad player ;)
Same, I have a fender strat (I think) that was in a set that came with the amp and everything. It was only 200 bucks altogether, and the only thing I could afford 😂😭 Edit: lol it's a Squire. I didn't know the difference when I first made this comment.
It's better than nothing! Any chances to get a summer job and save some money for a better gear? :) If not possible, one day you should have more money. Until then, keep playing on what you have.
The Fender Squire “All you need to play guitar” package is probably the best starter electric guitar pack, all that for like 200$ which could be easy to get as a teenager if you have like a summer job
I really don't like Jaguars for some reason, just not nuts about the design. Also I cannot tell the difference between a Jaguar, A Mustang and a Jazzmaster.
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.
For ROCK and METAL players I would recommend... 1.ESP Horizon (NOT LTD...the Japanese built ESP's) in place of a Fender Strat 2.ESP Eclipse (NOT LTD...the Japanese built ESP's) in place of a Gibson Les Paul 3.Ibanez RG Prestige 4.Gibson Flying V 5.Jackson Rhoads 24 These are contemporary takes on classic guitars...aimed at metal players. Don't scold me for not including Fenders or a Les Paul. There are certain guitars that are better suited for metal players in todays era...Fender Stratocasters, Telecasters, Les Pauls, or PRS's are not the best guitars for metal anymore...there are modern takes on these classic designs that suit the rock and metal players better. ESP, Ibanez, Jackson, and Schecter are at the top of the heap today for these genres of music.
I would replace the semi hollow with a superstrat, and a tele with a drop tuned guitar, but that's just me. I like metal, but would like to play classic stuff every once in a while
I wish you’d been consulted before this video was made! Actually the danelectro is a good call for a different flavored tone but I can’t see what I’d bump from your list to include it.
Absolutely. RUclips’s lifeblood is conjecture, opinion and ego. That being said, and as much as I love the sound of a good LesPaul in the right hands, I think a 335 can be more versatile. Opinion every day of the week!
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.
Yeah, I think my actual list would be something like this: 1. Something that has fairly high gain capabilities, and humbuckers. Possibly also get something with a coil split for added versatility, with two volume and two tone knobs. 2. A strat type guitar with single coils. Doesn't have to be all single coils, could be an HSS or it could be three single coils. Just so you can get more of a bluesy or strat type sound. 3. An acoustic electric with a cutaway. Recommend the cutaway for better playability, and acoustic-electric for if you actually want to use it to plug into something. If you just get those three guitars you have like 90% of your bases covered, you can cover just about anything you'd want to cover, and you could probably get all 3 for under $1,000 if you buy used.
@@ianroach8119 Got an electric jazz bass and acoustic 5 string bass for versatility in any setting Still haven’t decided on what’s really next whether it being another instrument or pursing only bass, but one thing for sure is you can never have too many basses
Yes, those 3 cover a lot and the addition of some kind of nylon string acoustic and a bass make for a bullet proof top 5. I also think that for at home guitar players at least, everyone should consider purchasing a mandolin before going for a 3rd or 4th electric.
Nice list. Straight up awesome. I owned an ES335 in the early 90s and sold it in order to get a really nice Tele. Been kicking myself ever since. Hard to touch them now without lots of disposable $$.
#1 an SSS Stratocaster #2 an HSH/HSS 24-fret superstrat with Floyd #3 a 12-string #4 a Les Paul or similar #5 your perfect guitar! I’m taking “custom-made from Warmoth” perfect! Made exactly to your favourite specs! (#6 a hollow-body (interchangeable with any guitar on the list, depending on your style if you so choose to)
"Don't we all just need one more?"... I think that's why my last GF left me. Strat, Tele, Jem, 3 6 string acoustics, 12 string ovation, a slew of old American BC Rich, a couple of Yamaha electrics.... sad thing is, I know I'm forgetting quite a few....
yeah, I had two strats, a classical by yamaha, an acoustic and an ibanez bass. Thank God my current girlfriend is a musician, she doesn't get bothered by it haha
If the girl left you because you bought another guitar she wasn't the one for you man. My girl both pushes me to buy guitars or buys me them herself. (She isn't a guitarist just watches carefully which guitars I like and choose)
My dream 5 is interesting but cool 1. Fender Telecaster 2. Fender Jag 3. Oktober Anilator (Doyle Von Frank. guitar) 4. Gibson SG 5. The first PRS he showed
I just can't stop preaching about ibanez guitars. Doesnt matter in which prizeclass they are what i experienced always high quality, very versitile and nice to play.
To be fair, I agree. I hate the look of the shreddy Steve-Vai looking ones but actually they're very well made. I think for my personal tastes their Artcore series is my favorite... Great guitars
really depends on what styles of music you want to play eg punk blues rock country = a telecaster will be pretty good,, rock blues anything else = a strat,, heavy rock metal a gibson lp or sg or ibanez rg ...... but to be honest you can play any style on any guitar so my advice is to try as many as you can and pick whatever not only sounds best to you ( sound can be modded by pedals ) but what feels best ,, if you lift a guitar and it feels easy to play ,, buy it ,,you can swap out pickups ,, mim strats and teles are less than $500 new and are good............. also consider good condition 2nd hand gear ,,,, hope this helps a bit
Easy answer really, whatever guitars you like. I'm an SG and Stratocaster guy I dont really like les paul's, PRS guitars etc and really I dont NEED them. Now im not saying dont go out and buy different guitars if you like them, but dont make the mistake I did where I thought "ohh i need a p90 guitar, a 335, a gibson acoustic and a guild". Simply because you may only play it once for one song or a few times for years and years, then even if you do sorry to say, there is no magic tone there, you just end up sounding like yourself (I did anyway). So just make sure you like the guitar you are buying and that you will play it often. If its a cheap guitar then thats fine but if you are splashing out dough please consider how much you are going to actually play it, and if you actually like it and not because it has p90's you have to get it. You will be kicking yourself for basically having a very expensive wall feature.
That’s exactly what I was thinking the whole time watching the video. I’m not a fender guy at all. I can appreciate their legacy and versatility but I’ve never personally enjoyed playing a strat or tele. I love my PRS though. It’s all personal preference when it comes down to it.
Well put. You like what you like, even if it's only one thing. Don't get something just because you feel like you should. You won't end up using it. And besides, these days, with the nearly endless array of guitar, amp, and pick-up configurations available, you can make anything sound like anything anyway. So play what you like. It's also worth noting that what you're into can change over time. For years, I wasn't an SG guy (I had owned a few, but I always ended up selling them), and one day, I found a used one, and it just clicked. I now play that guitar more than my LPs, and if you had told me even a year or two ago that that would happen, I would have said no way.
haha! :) So does that mean that having a hard-tail is far superior to having the strat's floating trem and comfy forearm contour and tummy cut? More sustain than a strat?
My personal opinion: #1: Jazzmaster (sound) #2: Stratocaster (cult) #3: Flying V (show) #4: Les Paul (feeling) #5: an acoustic guitar, Fender or Martin or sth. like that (difference)
Dean Zelinsky StrettaVita /show and feeling Gibson SG /nostalgic and sound Ibanez RGD /sound and playability Jackson King V /show and freedom Relish Mery One /pretty much all you need Lava ME2 /funny acoustic touch
I have a American Special Strat, blacked outed with the HSS setup (humbucker bridge, two single coils), first expensive guitar i ever owned, it was a big purchase for me since the guitar I had at the time was a jay turser strat copy that wasn't brilliant. I went into the guitar store that I usually got to a little awhile ago and put away a daphne blue Vintera strat, played it. Loved it but said no, next day I called back and put it on lay away lol, not payed off yet but I love my strats. I also have a Billie joe Armstrong replica Squier strat with a Seymore Duncan SH4 JB pickup in it with a maple neck and it sounds absolutely deadly
Those are some great recommendations. In addition to good selection of guitars, I think that every guitar player should own at least one bass. Do it....you wont regret it.
I only have 2 guitars. My DG-9 acoustic guitar I got from a friend and his family for Christmas 18 years ago and my 1968 Thin Line Telecaster Squier by Fender that I bought 10 years ago for $350. I'm happy with what I got and don't believe I need anymore. They both get alot of use and that's all I need.
Unfortunantely, the best guitar I ever played was the special fender telecaster. It had a thick lacquer neck and two single coils and a humbucker. Of course i didn't have the money for it. By the time I had the money, it was gone. Ended up buying a Les Paul T, which is pretty damn good too
That would be a Modern Player Telecaster. I own one and it's awesome. The p/u's are great as you can dial in dozens of tones. The neck is fantastic. The run under $400 on Reverb.
I've been playing since 82'. I've owned just about every major brand of guitar over the years. I can safely say my top 5 were my least expensive guitars. I've really learned that you don't have to spend thousands on a great guitar. Guitarcenterused.com etc love me. I buy mine super cheap and build them up. Most guitars can come alive with just little changes. Proper set ups, maybe upgraded pups, or a upgraded bridge etc.
My wallet didn't need this video........... But I really want to get into PRS super badly. Tyler truly does on his own make them sound like an ultimate masterpiece!
When I was a 7 yr old kid i played a chinese strat imitation. When I was 10, my dad bought me a Gibson SGJ 2014, which I use everyday. It wasn't really expensive, but levelled me up massively. Like 4 months ago I realised I have ENOUGh money to buy a strat. I found one on OLX which was a mexican 2018 strat. It was in a Lombard. I bought it, it's polar white finish. It's just GREAT. I first wanted to play u2 on it, but Hendrix, John Mayer AND practice routine won. With my SG and my strat I'm the happiest pearson living.
Awesome video, as usual. My needs are a little different though. As a non rock star working musician who needs to keep working, I need to cover a wide spectrum of sounds. My recommendation are as follows 1- Fender Telecaster. Much more versatile than a Strat IF you know what a tone knob is. My main is a custom build specked after a late 50's tele. 2- Fender Strat. Stuff comes close, but nothing sounds quite like a Strat in the "in between" positions. Again, my main is a custom build that's a copy of an original I owned when you could afford to own and work with originals. 3- Gibson Les Paul. I have a 2007 classic that's my main, but really any humbucker with a maple cap will do. I also use slightly under wound pickups in my Les Pauls. I like the way the highs sparkle with them. 4- Gibson SG. I find it just different enough to warrant owning one along with a Paul. Again, I'm not using stock pickups but customs that are slightly under wound compared to the modern stuff. The year is 2007 on my main. I like the necks from that year. 5- Gibson 335 or 345. I like both. I own a 335 but I like the varitone switch on the 345. A producer I worked with had a vintage 345 and really got me in to them. Stock Gibson pickups in this one. I only own one 335 but I'd love to pick up a 345TD in the future. I also have two acoustic steel strings, an Eastman E10D and P, and other instruments as well like a lap steel and some mandolins. There's also a few more Starts and Tele's and Paul's floating around, but those 5 are my mains. It's interesting to read theses posts and see how Subjective it all is. Everything in my post reflects the needs of my circumstances and should certainly be taken with as much salt as needed.
Protip: You don't need 5 guitars. You don't need to be a jazz-blues-rock-metal-country guitarist. Just focus on the one genre and guitar you like the best
danmar007 - to give him his due, he has lots of core models but admits the green 245 is the one guitar he really bonds with the most. That's just the honesty of any guitar player.
I started out playing in a Squier mini strat, then I got a Jay Turser (keeping the Squier since it was my first guitar) then I got a full on American Special strat blacked out high gloss with a humbucker, (sold the Jay later as I put it on a new Amp that I still use as my primary) afterwards I bought a full size Squier strat and did a replica of Billie Joe Armstrong guitar (green day). Recently I finished paying off and took home my Fender Vintera 50s modified strat, beautiful guitar and my first full size strat with all single coils. I do have other guitars but as you can tell I'm a bit of a strat addict, though I am looking into maybe getting a Tele at some point
Here's my top 5, along with the reasons why you need them: 1: Strat (you *obviously* need a Strat; case closed!) 2: Les Paul (you also MUST have a Les Paul, Gibson or Epiphone; end of discussion!) 3: Some kind of Super Strat with a locking tremolo (I have a Schecter Sun Valley Super Shredder but you can get an Ibanez RG, an ESP M-II, a Kramer Pacer; whichever's your cup of tea. This one is for your inner metalhead... or if you're playing at an 80's-themed event.) 4: Some kind of hollow/semi-hollow guitar (I got a Fender Modern Player Starcaster, you can get an Epiphone Dot, Casino or Rivera, an Ibanez As-123, a Gibson ES-335; whatever you like best. One of these is *essential* for crystal-clean Jazz or slow power ballads.) And 5: Some kind of crazy-shaped guitar (my favorites are the Gibson Explorer, the Schecter Avenger & Synyster Gates model, the Jackson Rhoads and the Carvin V220 but once again, you can choose whichever crazy-shaped guitar you like best. Why would you need something like this? Sometimes you're gonna wanna stand out onstage; what better way to do that than with a crazy-looking axe!) Also, honorable mention: Some kind of 7-string (this one's only an honorable mention because I understand not everyone needs a 7-string; they are fun though.)
Wish I could post a pic here of my collection. These days, I play in church every weekend but the variety of guitars lets me select the best guitar for each week's set list. 1979 Fender Stratocaster; Epiphone Les Paul Custom (2007); Epiphone G-1275 (2016); Epiphone Korina Explorer (2012); Gibson Special Faded SG (2003 with crescent moon inlays); Squier Jazz Bass (1990 MIJ); Epiphone Les Pau Ukulele; Recording King Banjitar; Ovation Tangent MOB 57; Squier Mini Stratocaster; generic cigar box guitar
Five “electric” guitars. Here, I was thinking he was going to go into more general terms. For instance, every guitar player should have a classical, acoustic, or extended range guitar.
I agree. If you can afford 5 guitars and one isn't a 335 or 339 style semi-hollow, what are you even doing? They're super versatile and look great. I don't know why you'd have 2 guitars of the same brand on a list like this, much less 2 PRS guitars. And he chose a danelectro with a strat style body? What about a '59? Or a baritone?
Darm0k i got 13 guitars and none of them are even remotely related to gibson, its all taste. He is just saying this according to his taste. Its mostly over the top consumerism. Some guitarist just need their 1952 fender duo sonic and an old tweed amp
Im doing this cheap (ish) list: 1. Godin Session LTD 2. G&L Tribute Asat Classic Hollow 3. Hagstrom Super Swede with Pearly Gates 4. Guild S-100 Polara with Saturday Night Specia 5. SBMM Stingray guitar or some sort of Jazzmaster/Jaguar, maybe G&L doheny?
I would pick the PRS CE over the S2... I just like the sound of the bolt-on, and it's more American-made than the S2 while being way cheaper than a Core model. As a noob, I'm happy with my PRS SE Custom 24 and all its Chinese-made glory. ;)
My issue with the CE is the thin neck. I like the neck on the S2 much better. Also the S2 line has a nice variety of guitars, with the CE you only have one choice, the CE. Speaking of "choice" If the the CE is a bolt-on then they should offer a choice of neck profiles.
Based on over forty years of experience playing in bands, worship services, and as a solo artist, if you want to be a well-rounded guitar player with a versatile arsenal, I would recommend the following (with my personal guitars in parentheses): 1. A quality steel string acoustic with solid wood construction. (Gibson J45 and CL20) 2. A quality nylon string acoustic with solid wood construction. (Ibanez AE 450) 3. A solid body humbucker electric. (Gibson Les Paul and SG) 4. A single coil electric. (Fender Strat and Tele) 5. A hollow-body, or semi-hollowbody, electric. (Gretsch 5120 and Epiphone Wildkat Royale) I have my favorite brands, but there are so many good manufacturers these days that it's hard to go wrong if you buy from a reputable dealer. No amount of money spent on an electric guitar will make up for a crappy amp, but a good amp will help a mediocre guitar sound a LOT better.
1. Fender Stratocaster (American Special) 2. Ernie Ball Music man (Van Halen signatures) Floyd rose whammy bar setup. 3. Gibson Les Paul (Made before 1980) 4. PRS SC-245 5. Another Fender Stratocaster (With a humbucker pickup on the treble pickup.)

Tele gets the job done + don't like how strats look
I agree but starts are uncomfortable as fuck
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.
For the 5th one, a bass guitar would fit in nicely.

well, he actually put them into the correct ranges - what was missing was a recommendation for beginner guitars (below 200 bucks I'd say). The 400 version was his recommendation for the first "next level" guitar - and you won't see a lot of options in that price/quality range.
I liked the point about the versatility of a strat, by the way. I actually started with a 100€ strat by a no-name brand more than ten years ago. When I got better, I started replacing the parts..another neck, other pickups etc, piece by piece whenever I was able to afford something. The only thing left original is the body (which was okay from the beginning)..and I love this thing until today. I've got one or two better guitars today - But this is the guitar I'm enjoying the most.

I swear his studio is starting to look like guitar center
Matt X no. We need more people playing gibberish at high volumes...
Matt X
Blaze hangs out there all the time
i hopes he sells strings :)
daniel hayun if I can buy a snark from him I'm done 😂😂
Just hope he doesnt start to rip people off
being a teenage guitarist sucks, i cant afford anything lmao edit: got a summer job and bought a prs se tremonti and blackstar core v3, life is good
Same, I have a fender strat (I think) that was in a set that came with the amp and everything. It was only 200 bucks altogether, and the only thing I could afford 😂😭
Edit: lol it's a Squire. I didn't know the difference when I first made this comment.
It's better than nothing! Any chances to get a summer job and save some money for a better gear? :) If not possible, one day you should have more money. Until then, keep playing on what you have.
Knockoffs are our friends man
The Fender Squire “All you need to play guitar” package is probably the best starter electric guitar pack, all that for like 200$ which could be easy to get as a teenager if you have like a summer job
@@ervin9720 Ong I had to pay $400 for that😩
Les Paul
Strat
SG
Jaguar
Explorer
Honorable mentions, Mustang, Firebird, Jazzmaster, Prs, Gretsch.
Huzzah! A good list!
Gretsch is my favourite guitar.
Strat
Tele
Jazzmaster
SG
Les Paul
Es335
I really don't like Jaguars for some reason, just not nuts about the design. Also I cannot tell the difference between a Jaguar, A Mustang and a Jazzmaster.
What about tele
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
Rob Chapman, is that you?
2010's metal player starter pack
Yes
have they invented 9 string floyds already?
Virnali Nebrida-Sunga bet yo ass
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.
Perfect, this is actually the top 5 i'd recommend
I think I would change either the Ibanez or the PRS for some sort of semi hollow or hollowbody just to diversify your playing a bit
This is so true^ but I’d add a gretsch hollowbody or a semi like a 335 instead of the Ibanez
For ROCK and METAL players I would recommend...
1.ESP Horizon (NOT LTD...the Japanese built ESP's) in place of a Fender Strat
2.ESP Eclipse (NOT LTD...the Japanese built ESP's) in place of a Gibson Les Paul
3.Ibanez RG Prestige
4.Gibson Flying V
5.Jackson Rhoads 24
These are contemporary takes on classic guitars...aimed at metal players. Don't scold me for not including Fenders or a Les Paul. There are certain guitars that are better suited for metal players in todays era...Fender Stratocasters, Telecasters, Les Pauls, or PRS's are not the best guitars for metal anymore...there are modern takes on these classic designs that suit the rock and metal players better. ESP, Ibanez, Jackson, and Schecter are at the top of the heap today for these genres of music.
Right on!
1. Fender Stratocaster
2. Fender Telecaster
3. Gibson 335
4. Gibson SG
5. Gibson L5
All vintage, so wicked.
I haven't watched yet... I'd say
1) Strat
2) Les Paul
3) Tele
4) ES/Semi Hollow
5) Acoustic
Would have made sense.
I would replace the semi hollow with a superstrat, and a tele with a drop tuned guitar, but that's just me. I like metal, but would like to play classic stuff every once in a while
I wish you’d been consulted before this video was made!
Actually the danelectro is a good call for a different flavored tone but I can’t see what I’d bump from your list to include it.
I'd say the only one from my 5 that I think isn't fully deserving of the spot is the ES/Semi Hollow. It's all opinion at the end of the day
Absolutely. RUclips’s lifeblood is conjecture, opinion and ego. That being said, and as much as I love the sound of a good LesPaul in the right hands, I think a 335 can be more versatile.
Opinion every day of the week!
I would say (no particular order)
Strat , Les Paul, tele, semi hollow, acoustic.
You're right! 🤙
Hell yea
spot on
2 strats, les Paul, tele, epi Sheraton II, Martin, great minds think alike.
Yes, definitely more on point than his choices. A selmer if you want to have a good gypsy sound. Maybe a dobro and a lap steel as well.
Sure does like his PRS its like half is collection
Well, he’s endorsed by them. But I’ll tell you, there are worse ways to sell out. That’s one good brand.
@@michaelolz thanks for letting me know
Probably because this is a PRS advertisement channel?
Add a harp guitar to that list as well! Awesome vids man!
You rock man
I’m pretty sure most guitarists won’t ever touch a harp guitar
@@samanderson6079 i have and its fucking glorious
The only 5 guitars I’ve ever needed were 5 Fender Telecasters! Plus their backup models! It’s an easy one to figure out!
I hope that there's a stud in the wall there
Jared Waller oh you better believe it.
You could get some anchors if you didn't
JeffD Music and Stuff damnit. You beat me.
No.
That's what she said...
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.
Yeah!mustang.
SURFING INTENSIFIES
Rather want a jazzmaster
Where's your acoustic my guy thats a must have
I'll replace Les Paul with a Telecaster.
Yeah, I think my actual list would be something like this:
1. Something that has fairly high gain capabilities, and humbuckers. Possibly also get something with a coil split for added versatility, with two volume and two tone knobs.
2. A strat type guitar with single coils. Doesn't have to be all single coils, could be an HSS or it could be three single coils. Just so you can get more of a bluesy or strat type sound.
3. An acoustic electric with a cutaway. Recommend the cutaway for better playability, and acoustic-electric for if you actually want to use it to plug into something.
If you just get those three guitars you have like 90% of your bases covered, you can cover just about anything you'd want to cover, and you could probably get all 3 for under $1,000 if you buy used.
Almost all the bases, now you just need a bass.
@@ianroach8119 Got an electric jazz bass and acoustic 5 string bass for versatility in any setting
Still haven’t decided on what’s really next whether it being another instrument or pursing only bass, but one thing for sure is you can never have too many basses
I am old school. The first guitar any guitarist needs is an acoustic. Hands down. After that, a strat, Les paul, and a Telecaster. Just my opinion.
Yes, those 3 cover a lot and the addition of some kind of nylon string acoustic and a bass make for a bullet proof top 5. I also think that for at home guitar players at least, everyone should consider purchasing a mandolin before going for a 3rd or 4th electric.
No particular order
1. Some sort of versatile prs like the first one he showed
2. Stratocaster
3.telecaster
4. Gibson 335
5. Les Paul
That's about the most reasonable list out there. No bias.
thanks
Nice list. Straight up awesome. I owned an ES335 in the early 90s and sold it in order to get a really nice Tele. Been kicking myself ever since. Hard to touch them now without lots of disposable $$.
This is it.
#1 an SSS Stratocaster
#2 an HSH/HSS 24-fret superstrat with Floyd
#3 a 12-string
#4 a Les Paul or similar
#5 your perfect guitar! I’m taking “custom-made from Warmoth” perfect! Made exactly to your favourite specs!
(#6 a hollow-body (interchangeable with any guitar on the list, depending on your style if you so choose to)
Strat, Les Paul, Superstrat, Explorer/Flying V, and a tele. Honorable mentions to A hollow/Semi-Hollow body, SG, and something with P90s
1. Les Paul
2. Telecaster
3. Ibanez RG
4. String Acoustic w/ pickup
5. Nylon Acoustic
Lord Jagged Ibanez guitars are pretty good for the price
@Lord Jagged well said
Not a nylon
Agree. That lets you cover just about every range of music
@ppino98🎼 crystal-clear, nice
"Don't we all just need one more?"... I think that's why my last GF left me. Strat, Tele, Jem, 3 6 string acoustics, 12 string ovation, a slew of old American BC Rich, a couple of Yamaha electrics.... sad thing is, I know I'm forgetting quite a few....
I was suffering from Guitar Acquisition Syndrome and since have sold 4 guitars & basses. I'm now down to 4 which is realistic.
dieselyeti I totally forgot about my basses.....
yeah, I had two strats, a classical by yamaha, an acoustic and an ibanez bass. Thank God my current girlfriend is a musician, she doesn't get bothered by it haha
Time for illumination your comment makes no sense
If the girl left you because you bought another guitar she wasn't the one for you man. My girl both pushes me to buy guitars or buys me them herself. (She isn't a guitarist just watches carefully which guitars I like and choose)
My dream 5 is interesting but cool
1. Fender Telecaster
2. Fender Jag
3. Oktober Anilator (Doyle Von Frank. guitar)
4. Gibson SG
5. The first PRS he showed
Cool! Lemme just go dig up all that money I buried back in 82’
Rubber Band I always forget where I buried all of that cash! Either that, or...never mind.
um let's see.... A strat first... then a strat.... then a strat.... then another start... and then... a tele.
i agree
Yes
Heck yes. I always come back to strats. I buy other guitars but always will play my strat.
Dumbass
You are ABSOLUTELY not a fender fan BY ANY MEANS
"If you make an investment like this you will never need another guitar again, that's for sure. Unless you know, you do"
I just can't stop preaching about ibanez guitars. Doesnt matter in which prizeclass they are what i experienced always high quality, very versitile and nice to play.
To be fair, I agree. I hate the look of the shreddy Steve-Vai looking ones but actually they're very well made. I think for my personal tastes their Artcore series is my favorite... Great guitars
Couldn't agree with you more
I find the weird shredder neck a bit annoying, prs or strat all the way for me.
Have 3 RG's they don't stay in tune that well and necks are quirky My 2 Late 90's Yamaha Pacifica 721 and 921 Blow my Fenders and Rg's away
The new AZ series is amazing
Rn im really convinced youre just making these ‘what guitar do you need’ vids to show off the sponsor hanger things
1. Tele
2. Gretsch
3. Strat
4. SG
5. DaneElectro
I am new to guitars and you’re videos are very helpful thanks
Levi Olson glad I could help you! Enjoy the journey!
Music is Win Thanks
*your
Music is Win I want to buy guitar under 500 dollars so suggest me
really depends on what styles of music you want to play eg punk blues rock country = a telecaster will be pretty good,, rock blues anything else = a strat,, heavy rock metal a gibson lp or sg or ibanez rg ...... but to be honest you can play any style on any guitar so my advice is to try as many as you can and pick whatever not only sounds best to you ( sound can be modded by pedals ) but what feels best ,, if you lift a guitar and it feels easy to play ,, buy it ,,you can swap out pickups ,,
mim strats and teles are less than $500 new and are good............. also consider good condition 2nd hand gear ,,,, hope this helps a bit
“These are the guitars you need”
Me: *laughs in broke*
*Laughs in 150 $ Squier strat*
You playing voodoo Child at the beginning made me happy😁
Poor tele, getting left out in everything
Easy answer really, whatever guitars you like. I'm an SG and Stratocaster guy I dont really like les paul's, PRS guitars etc and really I dont NEED them. Now im not saying dont go out and buy different guitars if you like them, but dont make the mistake I did where I thought "ohh i need a p90 guitar, a 335, a gibson acoustic and a guild". Simply because you may only play it once for one song or a few times for years and years, then even if you do sorry to say, there is no magic tone there, you just end up sounding like yourself (I did anyway). So just make sure you like the guitar you are buying and that you will play it often. If its a cheap guitar then thats fine but if you are splashing out dough please consider how much you are going to actually play it, and if you actually like it and not because it has p90's you have to get it. You will be kicking yourself for basically having a very expensive wall feature.
First sensible response I've seen in this sea of brand/ model fan boys.
That’s exactly what I was thinking the whole time watching the video. I’m not a fender guy at all. I can appreciate their legacy and versatility but I’ve never personally enjoyed playing a strat or tele. I love my PRS though. It’s all personal preference when it comes down to it.
Well put. You like what you like, even if it's only one thing. Don't get something just because you feel like you should. You won't end up using it. And besides, these days, with the nearly endless array of guitar, amp, and pick-up configurations available, you can make anything sound like anything anyway. So play what you like.
It's also worth noting that what you're into can change over time. For years, I wasn't an SG guy (I had owned a few, but I always ended up selling them), and one day, I found a used one, and it just clicked. I now play that guitar more than my LPs, and if you had told me even a year or two ago that that would happen, I would have said no way.
I have 5 crap guitars. All imitations. What I WANT though are...
1. USA Strat
2. Gibson SG
3. Gibson 12 string oldie
4. Martin 6 string
5. Ibanez Jem
The 5 you need. 1 Ash Tele 2 Alder Tele 3. Tele Thinline 4. P90s Tele 5. Humbucker Tele. ;-)
Sam Anderson jajaja 👍
haha! :) So does that mean that having a hard-tail is far superior to having the strat's floating trem and comfy forearm contour and tummy cut? More sustain than a strat?
I have a classic vibe thinline and it
s fantastic
Yep
Finally someone that knows what they're talking about 😂
My personal opinion:
#1: Jazzmaster (sound)
#2: Stratocaster (cult)
#3: Flying V (show)
#4: Les Paul (feeling)
#5: an acoustic guitar, Fender or Martin or sth. like that (difference)
James Marshall Hendrix or mustang for sound.
Dean Zelinsky StrettaVita /show and feeling
Gibson SG /nostalgic and sound
Ibanez RGD /sound and playability
Jackson King V /show and freedom
Relish Mery One /pretty much all you need
Lava ME2 /funny acoustic touch

I have a American Special Strat, blacked outed with the HSS setup (humbucker bridge, two single coils), first expensive guitar i ever owned, it was a big purchase for me since the guitar I had at the time was a jay turser strat copy that wasn't brilliant.
I went into the guitar store that I usually got to a little awhile ago and put away a daphne blue Vintera strat, played it. Loved it but said no, next day I called back and put it on lay away lol, not payed off yet but I love my strats. I also have a Billie joe Armstrong replica Squier strat with a Seymore Duncan SH4 JB pickup in it with a maple neck and it sounds absolutely deadly
Bruh stop flexing on me I don’t got that kinda doh
Those are some great recommendations. In addition to good selection of guitars, I think that every guitar player should own at least one bass. Do it....you wont regret it.
I have an SE 245 and it’s just absolutely perfect

2.🅱️ass

That color on the strat is beautiful
don’t you mean ‘the n+1 amount of guitars a guitarist needs’
Sir Henners I found the cs guy
Could be a mathematician
or physicist, etc.
Let's just say we found the scientist/engineer
The prs se standard has a great price and sounds great.
I only have 2 guitars. My DG-9 acoustic guitar I got from a friend and his family for Christmas 18 years ago and my 1968 Thin Line Telecaster Squier by Fender that I bought 10 years ago for $350. I'm happy with what I got and don't believe I need anymore. They both get alot of use and that's all I need.
1. Air Guitar
2. Cheap knockoff guitar
3. More money
Based on a true story
Unfortunantely, the best guitar I ever played was the special fender telecaster. It had a thick lacquer neck and two single coils and a humbucker. Of course i didn't have the money for it. By the time I had the money, it was gone. Ended up buying a Les Paul T, which is pretty damn good too
That would be a Modern Player Telecaster. I own one and it's awesome. The p/u's are great as you can dial in dozens of tones. The neck is fantastic. The run under $400 on Reverb.
I got a PRS thanks to this video and it is now my favorite
missing from the title of this video "but no guitarist has the money to buy all these guitars"
I thought the only thing missing was john mayer in the title
SRV TheSheep hahahah thats right
I've been playing since 82'. I've owned just about every major brand of guitar over the years. I can safely say my top 5 were my least expensive guitars. I've really learned that you don't have to spend thousands on a great guitar. Guitarcenterused.com etc love me. I buy mine super cheap and build them up. Most guitars can come alive with just little changes. Proper set ups, maybe upgraded pups, or a upgraded bridge etc.
Seriously.
I’ve bought a bunch of used stuff. You really have to look at it carefully, but if you know what you’re doing, Craigslist can be your best friend.
I can't live without my Gibson Les Paul Jr, just love the sound of a single P90
My dad has an awesome old Les Paul and I love playing on it
My wallet didn't need this video...........
But I really want to get into PRS super badly. Tyler truly does on his own make them sound like an ultimate masterpiece!
RC32 He speaks truth. Prs s2s feel just as good as higher priced models. They are great.
Ahh ye! Would like to own one someday!

When I was a 7 yr old kid i played a chinese strat imitation. When I was 10, my dad bought me a Gibson SGJ 2014, which I use everyday. It wasn't really expensive, but levelled me up massively. Like 4 months ago I realised I have ENOUGh money to buy a strat. I found one on OLX which was a mexican 2018 strat. It was in a Lombard. I bought it, it's polar white finish. It's just GREAT. I first wanted to play u2 on it, but Hendrix, John Mayer AND practice routine won. With my SG and my strat I'm the happiest pearson living.
My List
1. Les Paul
2. Ibanez RG
3.Stratacastor
4. Gibson SG
5.Acoustic
Ibanez RG x 5
If they're not extended range i wont touch those lol.
Rg gang
Dylan Lemke what about the new genesis series 😏😉
Does them Djent though?
Yes
Awesome video, as usual. My needs are a little different though. As a non rock star working musician who needs to keep working, I need to cover a wide spectrum of sounds. My recommendation are as follows
1- Fender Telecaster. Much more versatile than a Strat IF you know what a tone knob is. My main is a custom build specked after a late 50's tele.
2- Fender Strat. Stuff comes close, but nothing sounds quite like a Strat in the "in between" positions. Again, my main is a custom build that's a copy of an original I owned when you could afford to own and work with originals.
3- Gibson Les Paul. I have a 2007 classic that's my main, but really any humbucker with a maple cap will do. I also use slightly under wound pickups in my Les Pauls. I like the way the highs sparkle with them.
4- Gibson SG. I find it just different enough to warrant owning one along with a Paul. Again, I'm not using stock pickups but customs that are slightly under wound compared to the modern stuff. The year is 2007 on my main. I like the necks from that year.
5- Gibson 335 or 345. I like both. I own a 335 but I like the varitone switch on the 345. A producer I worked with had a vintage 345 and really got me in to them. Stock Gibson pickups in this one. I only own one 335 but I'd love to pick up a 345TD in the future.
I also have two acoustic steel strings, an Eastman E10D and P, and other instruments as well like a lap steel and some mandolins. There's also a few more Starts and Tele's and Paul's floating around, but those 5 are my mains.
It's interesting to read theses posts and see how Subjective it all is. Everything in my post reflects the needs of my circumstances and should certainly be taken with as much salt as needed.
This is my exact same list, but just in a little bit different order
Protip:
You don't need 5 guitars. You don't need to be a jazz-blues-rock-metal-country guitarist. Just focus on the one genre and guitar you like the best
so true
lol i like them all, so whats your advice now.
Your “pro tip” is telling people to limit how they play...
That tip.is ass
Being someone who owns a 594 wood library, i cannot agree with you more about the fact that core prs are the best of the best
Especially when you are sponsored by them.
danmar007 - to give him his due, he has lots of core models but admits the green 245 is the one guitar he really bonds with the most.
That's just the honesty of any guitar player.
I started out playing in a Squier mini strat, then I got a Jay Turser (keeping the Squier since it was my first guitar) then I got a full on American Special strat blacked out high gloss with a humbucker, (sold the Jay later as I put it on a new Amp that I still use as my primary) afterwards I bought a full size Squier strat and did a replica of Billie Joe Armstrong guitar (green day). Recently I finished paying off and took home my Fender Vintera 50s modified strat, beautiful guitar and my first full size strat with all single coils.
I do have other guitars but as you can tell I'm a bit of a strat addict, though I am looking into maybe getting a Tele at some point
Strat
Les Paul
Tele
Sg (optional. Could have Ibanez Ernie ball etc)
Acoustic
I only need one guitar......... the next one!!!
Here's my top 5, along with the reasons why you need them:
1: Strat (you *obviously* need a Strat; case closed!)
2: Les Paul (you also MUST have a Les Paul, Gibson or Epiphone; end of discussion!)
3: Some kind of Super Strat with a locking tremolo (I have a Schecter Sun Valley Super Shredder but you can get an Ibanez RG, an ESP M-II, a Kramer Pacer; whichever's your cup of tea. This one is for your inner metalhead... or if you're playing at an 80's-themed event.)
4: Some kind of hollow/semi-hollow guitar (I got a Fender Modern Player Starcaster, you can get an Epiphone Dot, Casino or Rivera, an Ibanez As-123, a Gibson ES-335; whatever you like best. One of these is *essential* for crystal-clean Jazz or slow power ballads.)
And 5: Some kind of crazy-shaped guitar (my favorites are the Gibson Explorer, the Schecter Avenger & Synyster Gates model, the Jackson Rhoads and the Carvin V220 but once again, you can choose whichever crazy-shaped guitar you like best. Why would you need something like this? Sometimes you're gonna wanna stand out onstage; what better way to do that than with a crazy-looking axe!)
Also, honorable mention: Some kind of 7-string (this one's only an honorable mention because I understand not everyone needs a 7-string; they are fun though.)
Just say I'm flexing my 5 guitars. Lmao
He has waaaay more than 5 guitars tho
Try around 60-80
Always love the vids man...especially the 1 pedal 22 genres vid
Wish I could post a pic here of my collection. These days, I play in church every weekend but the variety of guitars lets me select the best guitar for each week's set list.
1979 Fender Stratocaster; Epiphone Les Paul Custom (2007); Epiphone G-1275 (2016); Epiphone Korina Explorer (2012); Gibson Special Faded SG (2003 with crescent moon inlays); Squier Jazz Bass (1990 MIJ); Epiphone Les Pau Ukulele; Recording King Banjitar; Ovation Tangent MOB 57; Squier Mini Stratocaster; generic cigar box guitar
Five “electric” guitars. Here, I was thinking he was going to go into more general terms. For instance, every guitar player should have a classical, acoustic, or extended range guitar.
1 ESP James Hetfield “Iron Cross” 2 ESP James Hetfield “Vulture” 3 ESP James Hetfield “Snakebyte” 4 ESP James Hetfield “Truckster” 5 Gibson Flying V
I like you
You knooowwww it 🎸🔥🔥
Good man.
Lemme guess
Jazz player?
I play my PRS Custom 24 more than any electric I own. Its light, versatile, and has a great feel to the neck.
Semi hollow? Floyd rose?
or P90's???
I agree. If you can afford 5 guitars and one isn't a 335 or 339 style semi-hollow, what are you even doing? They're super versatile and look great.
I don't know why you'd have 2 guitars of the same brand on a list like this, much less 2 PRS guitars. And he chose a danelectro with a strat style body? What about a '59? Or a baritone?
Darm0k i got 13 guitars and none of them are even remotely related to gibson, its all taste. He is just saying this according to his taste. Its mostly over the top consumerism. Some guitarist just need their 1952 fender duo sonic and an old tweed amp
Im doing this cheap (ish) list:
1. Godin Session LTD
2. G&L Tribute Asat Classic Hollow
3. Hagstrom Super Swede with Pearly Gates
4. Guild S-100 Polara with Saturday Night Specia
5. SBMM Stingray guitar or some sort of Jazzmaster/Jaguar, maybe G&L doheny?
I own a 1966 Gretsch White Falcon, a 1966 Mostrite Joe Maphis 12/6 double neck and a 1985 Fender Squier Strat. Perfect for what I play.
The five guitars every guitarist needs: PRS #1, PRS #2, PRS #3, PRS #4, PRS #5
But that's only four, what's #3?
lol, edited now!
I own 6....! This one goes to 11 concept.
Not one PMS in my collection. Maybe some day, but not now....
Lord knows I'm a Voodoo Child!
That sapphire blue s2 is gorgeous
I would pick the PRS CE over the S2... I just like the sound of the bolt-on, and it's more American-made than the S2 while being way cheaper than a Core model. As a noob, I'm happy with my PRS SE Custom 24 and all its Chinese-made glory. ;)
Rob G the SE Custom 24 is Korean. PRS have never made Chinese guitars from what I know
yes is korean, the quality is pretty good even if not usa.
My issue with the CE is the thin neck. I like the neck on the S2 much better. Also the S2 line has a nice variety of guitars, with the CE you only have one choice, the CE. Speaking of "choice" If the the CE is a bolt-on then they should offer a choice of neck profiles.
1. Explorer
2. Tele
3. Strat
4. Nylon string
5. Acoustic
I agree with you on the strat
I think this would be my top 5 of essential guitars ...
1- Jazzmaster.
2- Stratocaster.
3- Duesenberg Starplayer TV.
4- Telecaster.
5- Martin HD-28E.
I only need 3
1st:tele
2nd:strat
3rd:acoustic
You need a les paul my friend. Trust me
Who Are You? Not everyone has money lmao
Based on over forty years of experience playing in bands, worship services, and as a solo artist, if you want to be a well-rounded guitar player with a versatile arsenal, I would recommend the following (with my personal guitars in parentheses):
1. A quality steel string acoustic with solid wood construction. (Gibson J45 and CL20)
2. A quality nylon string acoustic with solid wood construction. (Ibanez AE 450)
3. A solid body humbucker electric. (Gibson Les Paul and SG)
