The Fender Mike Dirnt P-Bass is seriously the best bass I've ever played. Huge chunky baseball bat-style neck with a Jazz nut width? Nitrocellulose finish? Hi-Mass bridge? Ash body? An amazing sounding vintage-style split coil pickup? It's my dream bass. I bought a sunburst one with a maple fretboard from Joe Principe's Reverb shop a few years ago and that bass is never leaving my possession. It's truly something special.

I'm also in serious lust with the Gretsch Tim Armstrong signature G5191 guitar, though I'll probably never actually buy one.

There’s a ton of great Fender signature stuff:
Squier J Mascis Jazzmaster
Fender Geddy Lee Jazz Bass
Fender Robert Cray Stratocaster
Fender Tom Delonge Stratocaster
Fender Mark Knopfler Stratocaster
Fender Ed O’Brien Stratocaster
Fender Johnny Marr Jaguar
Fender Troy Van Leeuwan Jazzmaster
Thurston Moore Jazzblaster
Lee Renaldo Jazzblaster
Fender Steve Harris P Bass (old)

Gibson’s Rick Beato Les Paul Special is pretty bad ass too.

Fender Chris Stapleton 62 Princeton Reverb
Wren and Cuff Garbage Face Jr
Earthquaker Life pedal

I had a Dave Murray sig Strat for a while, thing fucking ripped! Great neck.
I only sold it to fund my EGC.

I've always loved that maiden kinda just stuck with slightly modified strats, p bases, occasional les Paul. Keeping it very real guitar wise and everything sounds fantastic. No pointy horseshit or amps that look like truck tool boxes. That band kicks so much ass. Aces High came on while I was driving to work the other day and I ended up being the old guy at work telling all the kids they listen to shit if they aren't listening to Maiden. Up the Irons.

Was kinda curious about ^that strat but the Dave Murray strats that came back in a search just look like regular single coil strats with Floyd Roses.

There's been a few different incarnations. He's been around a while. Mine was 2009 - 2014 version.

The internets atwitter with the impending launch of the TRUMP Signature model, “the ONLY guitars endorsed by President Donald J. Trump!”

But the Japanese beat him to the punch by half a century....

It never photographs properly, but my Troy van Leeuwen sig is kind of the Platonic ideal of Jazzmasters for me:

Gotta tell you, I have been really really t(r)oying with the idea of getting one of those. I have never had a Jazzmaster and was thinking of tipping my toe in the waters with a Mascis or Classic Vibe, but the TvL just really checks all the boxes for me.
