What Guitar Goes In Your Time Capsule? 

The best and first, Tele Leo was king.

I'm with Baxter on the Stratocaster. Best electric guitar design ever.

Y'all make me realize how fortunate I have been over the years. Everyone played where I grew up. My hometown music shop closed just barely a year ago now if that tells ya anything they managed to stay open that long. But my point is that I've always been handed all kinds of instruments with little to no hesitation. I started playing young and the owner of our local shop got used to me being in there and once she saw I was respectful and knew how to handle an instrument with care I had free run of that place since I was about thirteen. I've been watching y'all for a couple years now and it often reminds me of things I heard or saw in that shop and more than anything Baxter will talk about struggling to try and be cool with people etc but at the same time people make it hard to be nice to them sometimes... I've always appreciated that shop but even so much more realizing really how big a deal it was for her to be getting an SG supreme off the wall behind the counter and letting me play it. They weren't a Gibson dealer but the owner literally changed her last name to Gibson so she could call the shop Gibson's music. But that also made me realize when y'all talk about Gibson dealers etc.... IDK how they had so many nice Gibson's in their shop but the way y'all talk about it it sounds like she probably had more or less financed them to make her shop seem more upscale than they really were so for them to let me just sit and play it plugged in no less, for an hour or more had to be nerve wracking for them. Lol.

What the heck is a guititar?

As a bass player, the best guitar I've played alongside was a 60s LP Junior....that's my pick. For bass, I have to go for a 71/72 Fender precision.

Silvertone with Amp in Case.

My picks would be: Electric - Bigsby Travis guitar. A guitar custom made by Paul Bigsby for Merle Travis that looks like some weird hybrid of a Les Paul and a Strat but actually predates both of them and is essentially the prototype for the modern solid-body electric guitar. Acoustic - An old Antonio De Torres, say 1888. Modern acoustic guitars can trace their lineage back to him.

G'day Baxter & Jonathon, Agreed - I've got a Buddy Holly style Strat, & a veteran Harley, but the acoustic has to be Mark Knopfler's National. I'm not knocking your Gibsons or Martins, but that guitar is just so pretty. It even shows up on stage before Mark does! Thanks for another great, fun video. Keep up the good work. Andrew

When it comes to acoustics I love my Gibson J45 and my Martin 000 But my Esteban is my pick.

When auto journalists recently had the chance to race & review a Hyundai sports car. The corporate rep said, "Because Hyundai has no Heritage, we can do whatever the fuck we want." ❤ With that said I love my Eastwood Baritone & my Tele partscaster Baritone & my Breedlove Atlas fretless Accustic Bass.

My tele isn’t my favorite guitar, but if I’m only allowed to keep one, I’m keeping the tele cause it just covers the most ground. Acoustic, I really like my 00015sm with the wider nut width and the e slotted headstock.

A Strat and a D28 is the way. A J45 can be used as substitute is some cases.

Absolutely one of my fav episodes

My 99 Les paul standard I bought in 99 for $900 I’ve played hundreds of shows with that baby !

I made my choices before I watched the vid... And I own 10 guitars including a 12 string. Taylor and a les Paul But my hand down answer remains my Fender sunburst American stratocaster with rosewood fretboard and my 1983 aniversary edition. Martin. D 41 ... Everything else is a compromise ...

Love my Yamaha FG730S! Recently upgraded to a bone saddle and she sounds real good.

I play banjo. Can’t wait for the next episode!

My ES125TCD, it's my go to for almost 50 years

My Epiphone Les Paul. I can't afford a Gibson and I bought my Epiphone new in 1996 when I was a young punk. I never got use to the knobs and toggle switch on a Strat, the Les Paul is perfect and has beautiful curves. I spent a lot of time with her. Even if I bought a Gibson, she would be the last to go.

I am a classically trained guitarist. My first electric guitar was a HSS strat copy on which I learned my luthiery skills, and destroyed it with practicing, I grew up on Strats, but when I started gigging, soon I switched to HH guitars, and to this day my main guitars are HH guitars, whether it be a superstrat, or LP varient, or V's, Ex's, BUT I recently bought an Indonesian Schecter Nick Johnston Traditional Black SSS maple fretboard s-type, upgraded some things like jescar ss frets, Dimarzio staggered hum free single coils, 5 springs in the back, and some minute aesthetic changes, so I came full circle back to Strats. So If I had to chose something I would hand down to my kids, it would be that Strat. You can argue about vintage gear, I do not have anything against it, but I'd rather play a Indonesian made modern Strat then US made 1957 Fender Stratocaster. As for the acoustics, I cannot go with one. I have a polish custom handmade Martic Eric Clapton exact copy, but with Jescar SS frets and a Fishman Preyses+ preamp and piezo system which is a 000-14 model and Collings 0-12 model with no electronics. I do all my live shows with this Martin copy and a Taylor with cutaway, but at home, I can't let go of my 0-12 ! And for electrics I use 11-49 gauge strings in E standard, and for the acoustic 13-56 in E standard. I endure thicker strings not because of the "tone" but because I am so used to classical strings that are fat, so thicker electric and acoustic strings makes me handle the guitars easier.

Right again, Jonathan!

Of my small collection, my top two are my 1969 Martin D-18 and 2022 PRS Studio.

Electric - Gretsch Electromatic Pristine Limited with P90s and white gold finish. Acoustic - Epiphone Masterbilt Century Deluxe Jumbo.

My 1976 firebird limited edition bicen. Wow, just wow. Made by real guitar person. Not just cnc machine

My 1966 Rickenbacker Deluxe 365 Fireglo. My parents gave it to me for Christmas that year and was my first good guitar. Have no idea how my parents were able to afford the guitar back then.

Thinline Tele, sort for weight, and a Martin OM-28.

Fender Stratocaster Sunburst with a Rosewood fretboard and a humbucker in the bridge

Gibson EDS-1275, Martin HD-28.

D-18 and a tele 👌

Many of the guitars mentioned will surely still be relevant in years to come (hopefully!). One guitar that really is a time capsule is a Gibson L5 from the 1930s I played recently. Incredible instrument and a real product of its time. Nobody would create anything like that today as there's no real need for it. Still an awesome guitar.

My Time Capsule Call is: Electric: Gibson ES-335 with block inlays. Acoustic: Martin D28.

If I had to pick a specific model, (not something I own) then it’d be an original Leo Built Strat. Option 1B would be a Les Paul. Simply to show an “upgrade” in a sense. If it’s something I own, or have previously owned; right now, I’d have to go with my ‘88 PRS Studio Prototype. Simply because it’s literally the first one ever made - and maybe it’ll be worth something someday because it’s the first. Pay for the kid, or grandkid’s college or something 😂

CV 50s strat, fiesta red with maple board. Yamaha LS6. Cheers!

Ok, Stratocaster is the only acceptable answer. There's an argument on acoustics. Even being a Taylor guy, hard not to go with a D 28. (Wrote this comment before watching the video, now I'm kicking myself because I could have just typed "Yes.")

American Elite Tele, it's a work of art and a masterpiece of engineering. Modern features with roots that go back to the very beginning.

Electric: 50's Fender Telecaster Acoustic: Martin OM-45

The Fuglio Custom Shop "Dali" of course

My son has laid claim to my '67 ES-335 (12 string, but it's been a 6-string before/since '77) when I shed my mortal coil. I've never owned a Les Paul as I just don't care for them (but love the sound and look of them). I don't get along with Telecasters either.

"GUITITAR": a guitar that comes with cold perkiness

I’ve already given my oldest son my Ibanez JEM for part of his inheritance he plays of course. Probably my 3 80s RGs and my Peavey Tracer and Nitro. Everything else I own is pretty new. My Les Paul is a 2019 and my Deans are 2015 and 2020. The 2 on the way are 2021s probably getting sometime in 2024.

Electric 2010 Heritage 535 (lefty) Acoustic 2021 Gibson 60s reissue J45 wine red (lefty)

ELECTRIC: Fender Stratocaster 60-63’ ACOUSTIC: Martin OM28, OM21

Of course, Jimmy Page famously played a Tele on the Stairway solo (and many others).

The Tele was revealed to Leo in a vision from God! Maybe, maybe not but it my guitar of choice followed closely by my 335. Though my Les Paul is purty, I just wish it had been made in '58. I own a Hummingbird, but would love a 45. There's always another.

ES-335/345/355 def' slept on Rock n' Roll guitars tho'!!

I have told my grandson that, when he graduates (ir he is still playing) I will give him my Strat. I will buy a Tele. My D-18GE is mine until I die and then I don't care. My first electric was a Les Paul, but I was fortunate back then.

DeAngelico jazz boxes are Guitars. Never gonna have one as I like the solidbodies (Firebirds, Strat, Dinky) that electricians love...Wes Montgomery is head of class.

Stat and a Taylor BE 912 ce.

D28 & tele

Telecaster and Dreadnought Acoustic

Kix Brooks' Goldtop SJ-200 and Johnny Marr's ES-335

If you're into guitars and motorcycles there's only one possible bike for you: A 1952 Vincent Black Lightning.

A 90s Parker Fly Deluxe. I want to know what the future thinks of this guitar. People now seem to hate it

"GUTITAR"? Am I the only one who saw this on the thumbnail? It's my favorite new word!

I’m thinking 4 guitars gotta goin the vault. Strat, Tele, Les Paul, Gretsch

Well, I've got to call you out Baxter. You brought up original D'Angelicos during electric guitars, but didn't even mention them during acoustic guitars. Other than a few intentional electric versions, the original D'Angelicos were built as acoustic guitars. Sure many of them had floating pickups added later, but they are the ultimate acoustic archtop, along with those made by his apprentice James D'Aquisto. My acoustic pick would probably have to be an original D'Aquisto Centura Deluxe. These were made at the end of D'Aquistos career, shortly before his untimely death. There are very few of them, and some are completely out of circulation already, one in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Squier FMT SSH Strat Sierra Mist & Rogue single Spruce top Dreadnought Natural-

ES 335 all day long...I'd put a tele in there too if it's allowed,,,,a 335 and a tele to me represent the best of humbucker and single coil guitars.

What's a gutitar?

Gretsch 6120, Martin D28

Two or Three tone on the Strat????

First rock guitar: Strat Best rock guitar: Les Paul

The razorblade guitar is the clear answer

Fender Stratocaster. Martin D28

That’s exactly how I went about ordering my FCS Tele. I ended up with a 52 3-tone sunburst Tele. I’m not big on acoustics but probably a Taylor. And yes, Jimmy Page is the coolest rock star ever.

What is a "gutitar"?

Fender tele and martin d28

Tele and any Martin dreadnought

What about 55', 56 and '57 Chevys?

ES-335 '59 and Martin OM-28

Gibson ES-335.

Ah, but what about the finish? Time Capsule or NOS?

As far as acoustics any good concert would work

As someone who went to over a hundred concerts in the 1970's I agree with your selection of electrics. BUT for acoustic guitars in the seventies Ovation ruled the rock stage. Nine times out of ten if a rock band brought out an acoustic guitar and it wasn't Ovation they either sat in front of a microphone or their tone sucked.

Wow, guess my 2, LP and my d28

Gibson Les Paul Custom in Alpine White. That way every time a descendant looked at it they would wonder what a massive rock god their ancestor was.

i think nintendo was originally in the Hotel business lol

Hard choice between a Tele or a LP Jr

Capsle?

I would pass my kid my mustang so it keeps him/her humble lol

Gutitar?

Stratitocaster 😂

Peavey T-60. At the beginning of the CNC era so consistent. Indestructible. Versatile enough to cover a wide range of styles.

Ibanez Destroyer

Johnathon, so wrong . Strat is obviously the ultimate iconic ROCK n Toll axe. Try to focus Johnny.

1.Fender Telecaster Ash body. Maple neck. Butterscotch. 2. Gibson Dove. Cherry.

Obviously it would be a 52 Tele and a pre war D28. Anything else is just plain wrong.

The guy selling the recently discounted JV Japan Stratocaster is copying Baxter's look. The look and affectations, mannerisms speech pattern, just so eerie.

If it's a time capsule sort of thing, I'd go with O. W. Appleton's APP guitar to make sure history remembers that Gibson are a bunch of LITIGIOUS THIEVES! And for an acoustic I'd have to say Gibson Hummingbird.

Try and think of anything today worthy of a time capsule. Nope, got nothing. Everything already built and created musically is far superior to anything created in the 21st century so far.

Dude I hate how much of a dance it's become to even talk about really anything from before nineteen ninety eight... Like can't say ya like Jimmy page without an asterisks..... If we get to digging they were all up to no good back in the day.

not a good JR pik

OK.... you guys are really reaching now for subjects for your videos......... there are obviously too many classics to just pick one..... Get right to the A4 = 440Hz controversy ...... much more interesting.....
