1. If you could afford any guitar, which would you buy?
2. I am selling my hollowbody Ibanez and my Les Paul and buying a new guitar. I am thinking of the Maton BB1200. Any other suggestions?

Get a ukelele, mate. It's the way to go. Trust me.

1. A black Gibson SG Les Paul Custom with triple humbuckers and gold hardware.
2. Completely depends on what music you play.

Already got one. They are heaps of fun. Can do a rocking version of funkytown on it.

1. Nice. All you need is a triple rectifier behind it.
2. That's the problem, I tend to play everything. Have been hitting the blues pretty hard. But not afraid to turn up the gain. So far the Maton has been giving me a semi, but I could get a PRS McCarthy Hollowbody... Or a Gretsch Duojet…

Mate, in my L.A. days I enjoyed so much to see the chicanos
driving around in their lowriders with Chubby top loud.

Not wanting to get in to a debate about it, but I disagree with this.

Anyway, if you play a lot of different styles, do you have a style of play that you carry with you between them? If so and you know how you like to feel about the sound/guitar then choose one which best compliments your personal style.

Yeah, good point. It is all about the tone for me, it has to be warm. I reckon it would have to be between the Maton and the Gretsch.

You've met my girlfriend then?

Yeah, and the amps go all the way up to 11 too.
