Your #1 best buy ever

[Ian Price]

Following on from the 'worst buy ever' thread I thought I would start a 'best buy ever' one. My best buy ever, and this may surprise some people, is a Dunlop Jazz 3 plectrum.

It was very cheap and has improved my picking technique and general playing - other plectrums feel big and clumsy now!

Mine was a VOVOX Guitar Cable

Expensive, but has improved my tone a lot, and I wouldn't wanna miss it ever.

2nd best buy: Axe FX, what else.

[Ratrod]

Has to be my Gretsch Power Jet.

By far the best guitar I ever bought. Excellent quality, playabillity, an absolute tone monster and best of all it needs no modifications.

Cleartone cable?
I am awaiting some Brit picks as hopefully a step up from Jazz III XL's. They feel nice, but they don't sound all that good IMO.

Got it, 6 x Celestion Sidewinders :D

Gotta be my Classic Vibe Telecaster. I LOVE this guitar, the sleek neck, how you can go from dirty to clean with just the flick of the selector switch and i love the inbetween sound.

It looks pretty sweet too.

The only possible gripe i have with it is klusion tuners are difficult to work with when changing strings.

1971 Orange GRO100.

2004 ESP Viper camo, cost me £400, absolute STEAL.

Tough call for me this one.  I'm thinking it's probably my latest purchase though, as at £899 it was a steal:



Failing that, it would be my first Martamp - my M45.  This little cracker got me into KT-66s and set me on the road to my current tone:

Do you still have the M-45? I know you still have the PRS (I think!)

I think my best guitar-related purchase was this:



My very first issue of Guitar Player magazine. 

Without it, and everything that came afterwards, I very much doubt I'd still be as fascinated with the world of the guitar after all these years.

[Philosoful]

Diezel Herbert for me :lol:

My Epi SG, 12 years old and I still love it ... especially as it has Warpigs in it, but nevertheless has always been a joy to play, and has kept me playing away since I bought it.

[Transcend]

I would probably say

my MM

And im not just saying that because of where im posting. It completely changed the way i look at how a guitar SHOULD sound and gave me so much more tonal flexibility

[bucketshred]

My Gibson Explorer. The Black Beast of Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh. It just love it (even though I constantly drop it, bang it off walls, jumped on a drum kit with it at my last gig, the selector switch is knackered, I think the neck needs sorting out. I think the only thing holding it together is the big Jager sticker on the back).

have you tried big stubby picks? I use the 3mm version it's like a Jazz III XL but with a slight curve on the flat edge due to the width of them, to me they come off the string a bit smoother
