[@Ephedr1n]

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 ;)

[@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.

[@simonm.1112]

What about tele

[@JonStossel]

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]

Almost all the bases, now you just need a bass.

[@Emersonlakeorpalmer]

@@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

[@persuader357]

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.

[@Sd12sx23]

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.

[@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.

"If you make an investment like this you will never need another guitar again, that's for sure. Unless you know, you do"

[@PDXguitarfreak]

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.

[@MrNikellKrom]

Perfect, this is actually the top 5 i'd recommend

[@Spikeupine]

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

[@oliver.7400]

This is so true^ but I’d add a gretsch hollowbody or a semi like a 335 instead of the Ibanez

[@RemmyRiffs]

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.

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.

[@FletchForPres08]

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.

[@johnnyguitars609]

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.

[@straben2666]

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

[@drmetal1634]

[@ryant3600]

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.

His PRS (the green tentop one) and the way he talks about it so lovingly, reminds me of me and how I talk about my Schechter C1 Hellraiser. Both of which can do some of the same things. Like tapable coils.

[@MichaelD8393]

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.)

[@93greenstrat]

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.

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

[@georgehowe6750]

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.

[@carljohnson4691]

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.

[@xavierg5523]

Semi hollow? Floyd rose?

[@atrus905]

or P90's???

[@Darm0k]

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?

[@premoist2095]

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

[@liamlacroix5026]

My list would be as follows: 1. A hard rock/metal guitar 2. A blues/classic rock guitar 3. Something with a Floyd rose 4. An Acoustic guitar 5. And a bass guitar just in case

[@IgnoresTrolls]

If I was being sensible 1) PRS (versatility) 2) Semi-hollow (blues, rhythm, feel free to replace with Les Paul) 3) Strat (single coil of your choice) 4) Superstrat (shredder) 5) Acoustic What I would want on the wall 1) Dusenberg 2) Gretsch 3) Reverend 4) Another Gretsch 5) PRS

[@michaelcapanelli9233]

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.

[@sdshuge2.0]

This is my exact same list, but just in a little bit different order

[@kurtbader9711]

1. 84 Kramer Baretta, Jackson Custom Shop neck. '92 Seymour Duncan JB, routed for a neck Seymour Duncan Cool Rails. 2. Charvel 88, mid 80's Floyd, Wild Bill 'n Becky's L500L 3. 1987 Charvel Model 1, mid '80's floyd, late '80's Super Distortion. 4. 2012 Gibson SG, Burstbuckers (They'll be leaving). 5. 1997 Ibanez s470, green quilted Maple top, Kent Armstrong pickups. In the end, it's all about the ears and the brain. Good luck.

Fender Showman (neck through, HH, Duncan Distortions, 24 fret) beautiful wood grain ! Fast ! 12. LTD (EMG - Hzs, Floyd Rose, Stained wood binding) unique sounding shredder ! Very Fast Just last week I stumbled across this in a pawn shop !!! ; 13. 1965 Gibson Melody Maker - Single coil pickup in bridge, Gibson Whammy, 22 3/4" scale This investment will be worth some bucks ! But for now, I'm gonna play it ! (I bought it for a steal !) Basses; 1. Fender "PJ" 2. (can't remember brand) Short scale 5 string with EMGs - Very pretty Orange/Yellow wood grain 3. Gibson Firebird 4 string bass Acoustics; 1. Ovation 6 string with double coil hole pickup, Fishman bridge 2. Ovation 6 string - Ovation Electronics bridge ( very cool sound !) 3. Ovation 12 string - Fishman bridge Seeking Fender 6 string nylon classical, short scale, Fishman (want it in black) I had 1 I loved, lost in fire ! I have so many guitars & amps ( don't get me started on amps) because I have my own studio, and I play a wide range of styles, (classical, jazz, country, rock, thrash metal...) I have drums & keyboards too. (Don't get me started) I play basically anything with strings (& drums). I don't play wind instruments. (I don't put cylindrical things in my mouth & blow !)

[@RobGADV]

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. ;)

[@Mr.Goldbar]

Rob G the SE Custom 24 is Korean. PRS have never made Chinese guitars from what I know

[@samaudioyt]

yes is korean, the quality is pretty good even if not usa.

[@WCG72]

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.

Honestly, 1 Strat for blues 2 Les Paul for rock 3 JP majesty/JP15/JP6 for any kind of metal 4. Acoustic for blues, pop and finger style 5 Semi hollow for jazz. Swap one listed above for a tele if you like country.

[@captainpicard9460]

I thought the first PRS was a good pick but when he recommended the Danelectro I started to wonder about him. When he pulled out a 7 string I said OK, this guy is a joke. I dont really disagree with the strat but then another PRS. No Les Paul????? No telecaster? 1. Les Paul 2. Telecaster 3. Some kind of shred guitar, maybe Ibanez 4. Some kind of semi-hollow like an ES335 5. A nice acoustic-electric, Yamaha or Washburn

[@barnabycross]

I suppose where theres a will to monetize...theres a will for the clickiest bait.....although the PRS slavery shows a distinct lack of imagination...1 PRS OK fair enough but 2? Come on!

[@captainpicard9460]

barnabycross Agreed, and he didnt have a tele or any kind of semi-hollow body. I'm thinking this is the best 5 guitars for playing Limp Bizkit or something like that.

[@barnabycross]

Captain Picard let's face it, it's just not a very serious stab at a proper guitarists best 5 tools of the trade...as I said probably click bait to make a few bucks off the hits.... I notice that plenty of others are doing the same trick, suck people in with a clucky headline....The 5 must have guitars. Snake oil and a lot of it.

[@TheMusicalMedic]

That seven string is his choice of shredder. Edit: note that it comes in a six string model, which he mentions. Don't knock a good seven string until you're really tried one man, I use mine in my University jazz band, an indie band, a punk band, and a metal band, it's quite versatile.

[@captainpicard9460]
