My PRS 594 SE has covered the Les Paul sound I wanted covered for so long, and to top it off, it’s a way more versatile instrument than a Les Paul. I used to have a Gibson Les Paul Classic, and I liked the raw girthy humbucker sound, but I wrestled with the high action, heavy weight and sometimes muffled sounding humbuckers. The PRS has such a fast neck, is lighter, and packs midrange rich humbuckers that cut and have coil taps for if I really want the single coil tones. Love that guitar

Get it right Gibson didn't buy epiphone in 1957 the Chicago musical instruments Corp who owned Gibson at the time bought epiphone on the orders of Les Paul himself also I suggest many of you start researching the history of epiphone epiphone was never meant to be a budget brand in the first place and they weren't until Norlin ruined them when they took over Gibson that ends with JC Curliegh in 2019/2020 he restored epiphone back to where they should have always been..also it's great to see Gibson buried once again in the dirt by epiphone..

Most versatile, the new Fender Gold foil Jazzmasters. 3 mini humbuckers, that can all be turned on individually or all three at once, and has a nice bigsby. Looks like a jazzmaster, but it’s really its own thing. And mini humbuckers (like p90’s) really bridge the gap between single coils and full humbuckers. So versatile, definitely worth checking out

I have the Schecter Solo II Custom and it's basically a Gibson Les Paul Custom with the Schecter logo (and the Schecter build quality which is phenomenal). It also has coil splitting on the USA Pasadena humbuckers that produces a sound that doesn't feel like a compromise. In the matte black with the aged double binding and mother of pearl inlays, it looks just as classy in a jazz setting as it looks killer in a metal setting and you'll get the appropriate sounds for both and everything else in between. And they only go for like $650ish on the used market so they're an absolute steal. That would be my vote for most versatile!

The Brighton and the Tele would be great guitars to play a gig with. I've played gigs with my Telecaster (SD Quarter Pounder in bridge and Filtertron in neck) along with my stock (at the time) Schecter S-1 Elite and it was a great show and both guitars sounded and played great. If you play live, usually there is a "set it and forget it" aspect to playing with a band in front of a crowd. You also lose a lot the small differences that many guitars have to set them apart when you play live. I like what Keith Richards said one his guitars, "Give me 15 minutes and I will sound like myself." As for the "the most versatile guitar" concept, that's going to change for each player. I say this because what is versatile for one person may be limiting to another. If you hand me a Dinky when I want to play my Gretsch, it's not going to do what I want the guitar to do. I'm not playing "Eruption" and it's going to sound off on a song like say "Hello Mary Lou." You are much better off either building a Partscaster or highly modding a production guitar to suit your needs. Sometimes a project will exceed your expectations and sometimes it will fall short. Usually it gets you in the ballpark.😉👍✨

I have a Warmoth Tele Thinline that I built. Nashville-style, with Fender Vintage Noiseless Tele pickups (middle Strat, of course), a 5-way switch, a little switch that toggles on and off the neck pickup, a series-parallel switch that makes any two-pickup switch position sound a LOT like a humbucker in series mode, and the tone control wired to only the bridge pickup. As a bass player, I wanted a guitar that would do everything pretty well (because I can't really justify having several nice guitars since I rarely play guitar), and that Tele is exactly that. Most versatile guitar I've ever played, I can get a pretty damn convincing version of whatever tone I want from it.

The reason a lot of "coil splits" sound like weak hum buckers because they are taps rather than splits. They bring the signal out part way through both coils so there's not as much in it as the full coils. PRS does this on basically all of their guitars with push/pull systems. The sound is vastly different from a split, but guitarists tend to use "tap" and "split" interchangeably. We need to do better because the different words actually have different meanings.

you should check out the Bob Weir Bedford Dangelico. Two stacked, independantly splittable noiseless P90s, and a single coil in the middle, with a 5 way switch. And it has a blend knob that allows you to blend in the "off" P90 in other positions (not the middle position), so the combinations are really endless, including all 3 at once. Its a great guitar, the most versitile Ive ever seen.

Most versatile guitar ever made is likely the D'Angelico Bob weir Bedford model. Has 3 pickups, 2 p90s, and 1 single coil in the middle. The p90s are voiced more like telecaster style single coils with a switch to make them more like a humbucker. Back of the tone in single coil mode and you get a bit more p90 sound. With 3 pickups, you can do all the strat stuff. You can add some flavor of the more humbucker like bridge with a single coil middle. Needless to say, that's just a few options. The bob weir Bedford is likely the most versatile guitar from the factory

It has always been my strategy in auditions to bring a very good instrument which doesn't intimidate the band like my best stuff did. Last time I auditioned I brought a PJ bass. Got the gig but they wanted me to bring my Thunderbird. I also have a Brighton. Its a great great instrument. Jimmy Page's LP secret was a coil split, which makes the LP bridge sound like a tele. I've encountered only as few great coil splits. G&L makes a mean one that dials in Fender tones like a dream. Bare Knuckle pickups sound amazing split: think David Gilmour.

Fender Special Edition Custom Telecaster FMT HH -- the guitar with probably the longest name, but also happens to be one of the most versatile guitars on the market, and has a similar concept to the D'Angelico (Seymour-Duncan pickups with coil tap, making it sound like a classic tele or Gibson depending on the pickups).

A very versatile guitar was/is the Peavey T-60 manufactured from 1978 to 1988 give or take. I'm pretty sure is was the first guitar that would split coils. It also has an in and out of phase switch that only worked when using both neck and bridge pickups simultaneously. I think it reversed the polarity of the pickups. The T-60 was ahead of its time.

I have three guitars that I think are very versatile, although I certainly wouldn't say any of them are the most versatile ever. I've got a Telecaster with a humbucker in the neck position as Keith Richards is famous for. I've got a Gretsch, which we all know can get those country and rockabilly sounds, but Pete Townsend used a Gretsch on some of The Who's loudest and hardest rocking songs and so did Billy Duffy of The Cult. My latest guitar is a Reverend Reeves Gabrels Dirtbike Royale. I think Reverend is making some really interesting guitars. Mine has a Strat-style body, but it has two P-90s that are hum-free and unique to Reverend, so it's kind of a Franken Strat. It feels like a Strat, but it's a whole different world.

I think, as a person who has never played an electric guitar in his whole life although always aspired to, that the versatility comes from the player. Also, one guitar won't cover everything you play, but that's why you have two guitars, or two cars, when you can afford them. At the end of the day, people hardly play a lot of different styles anyways

Mate, the Art Deco styling of D'Angelico's is so amazing. Sometimes it makes me sad that I will probably not find a use for one, playing in a metal band and using 7/8-string guitars. And talking about versatility - I have a Harley Benton R457 7-string with the only pickup being an EMG 81-7 in the bridge. While metal is its main task, it sounds amazing when I play George Harrison's solo from "Something".

A Strat (with a humbucker) is the most versatile guitar. But you get a Les Paul with some push/pull for coil splitting and/or series/parallel switching... gives it a run for its money. (I play both 🤣)

I think boutique guitar companies have come a long way, but I will never say that they are going to outdo big brands guitar Companies. my opinion the most 3 versatile guitars out there are a fender Telecaster, a Gibson ES 335, and a PRS SE Custom 24. I will say this guitar is very intriguing👍🏾

I play a modern player Tele for worship guitar and it has a lot of versatility with the bridge humbucker.

The most versatile guitar ever is probably the Parker Fly. Thanks to two splittable humbuckers and piezo elements in the bridge, it can do literally everything. The second most versatile guitar is the guitar you have.

Personally, I absolutely love Telecasters. My favorite is a Les Paul, but that's because I was 7 years old when I saw Slash from Guns N Roses play on MTV. I've loved them ever since. I have a Les Paul Classic, and that thing will be buried with me. You can get almost any tone out of it because of coil splitting. I also own a D'Angelico and they are really nice as well.

IMO the most versatile guitar should not be the discussion/topic, it's rather what's the most versatile pickup configuration for guitar. HSS with 5 way switch is the most versatile one. Followed by HH with 5 way strat style switch and wiring config.

I have been playing guitar since 1973. I have predominately an acoustic rock player because of three things Tommy Emmanuel, Monte Montgomery, and I don't want to be a gear guy to be a good guitar player. While I hear some subtle differences in the tones you are attempting to display, it's all for other guitar players. I would posit that audience members don't hear, or care, about it. I am always confounded at how hard electric guitarists insist on these, often extremely subtle, differences as being "totally different". Personally, I like the Tele as the most versatile based on my own gigging experience. Let's face it, there is so much gear that can make any combo of items sound like any other combo of items. It's also funny that many electric guitarists spend so much time and effort, using lots of gear, to mimic the best classic sounds made by fingers, guitar, and amp alone. I say the sound is predominantly in the players hands. I enjoy your playing. I enjoy your info sharing. I love guitars acoustic and electric. There are differences in all. I am just unconvinced that it matters to anyone other than other guitarists(musicians). Then again I guess that is your audience. However, if you are not playing to your YT audience, how much of it matters and where?

I stay with the legendary and Epiphone the real deal..I have had no interest in any other brands since JC Curliegh Restored Epiphone back to high end in 2020 no interest in Gibson anymore either just like many others aren't. I would like to know where some of you come up with such nonsense? Do you realize all anyone has to do is take your nonsense and research it I suggest before any of you spread anymore nonsense about epiphone you need to remember this also I suggest you research Epiphones full history all 151 years of it and the history Les Paul himself had with epiphone and long before Gibson..

I'm not a pro player by any stretch of the imagination, so maybe I don't know what I'm talking about, but I have a PRS custom 24 SE 08, and the split coils and the huge difference in the sound from bridge to neck pickups make it extremely versatile, I can get a range from Carlos Santana to Eric Clapton, Freddie King to Chris Stapleton all on one guitar and a small Marshall amp. I think that's pretty versatile? Also, in the maple top Eriza Verde finish, easily one of the prettiest guitars I've ever seen. I have copies of Les Pauls and a copy of a BB King 335 as well as an awesom Yamaha strat copy, but none of them have the range of my PRS

l love the sound and playability of this guitar. The build quality is exceptional. However, I wish the neck dive wasn't so pronounced. It's not the most comfortable guitar to play standing up.
