The classic publicity photos of Peter and Gordon do show them playing a Gibson J-160E guitar and a Gibson B-45-12.\n\nThere are also photos of them both playing Gibson J-160E's...

E-mail (Or snail mail if they're not online) Ric and see if they'll send you a copy of the prints to build your own....Most Guitar companies are pretty cool about that sort of thing if it's just a regular person trying to do it.\n\nGOOD LUCK!! I hope it works out.\n\n\n\nMirage Guitars huh?? Well if you're the monkey building them I think I'd rather play drums!! You should do a little research before you go running your mouth about things you don't know...\n\nFYI: I got the prints for the Ironbird Guitar FREE directly from B.C. Rich and built it from the bottom up....AND...I paid $75 For the prints to the Telecaster again directly from Fender!! So it does happen!!     Anyway for the guy asking the question  You should try contacting Ric...All they can say is no.

the Les Paul is a great Rock'n'Roll guitar, that has a sound of it's own, just like the Fenders do. I prefer a Fender anyday over a Les Paul though!

I have both Alvarez an Yamaha acoustics, as well as an Ibanez (old japanese version) I have a Johnson Bass Guitar which is a replica of a 'Fender Jazz Bass', and it's truly wonderful. I also have a Palatino violin, but you didn't ask about that...\n\nI want to eventually get a Rickenbacker bass guitar.

Fender is a brand of electric guitar. They also make acoustic guitars, amps, and guitar-related accessories. Their electric guitars are distinguishable by these features: \n- a neck that is bolted on to the body, as opposed to glued in. You will see a silver plate with bolts on the back of the neck\n- single-coil pickups at the neck and in the middle, with possibly a humbucker at the bridge. Single-coil pickups look like a single row of silver dots and have a bright, thin sound. Humbuckers look like two rows of silver dots side by side and have a thicker, creamier sound.\n- A thin or twangy sound, of course, because of the pickups and construction\nThe two predominant Fender electric guitars are the Stratocaster, played by e.g. Eric Clapton, and the Telecaster, played by e.g. Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones. You can recognize them immediately by their shape, and eventually by their sound if you listen to enough guitar.\n\nThe other 500 pound gorilla of electric guitars is Gibson, distinguished by a glued-in neck, humbucker pickups, and a thicker sound with longer sustain (time that the note will continue to ring after you pluck the string). Their most famous models are the Les Paul, played by Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin, and the SG-1, played by Angus Young of AC/DC.\n\nElectric guitarists usually have a strong preference between Fender and Gibson guitars, but some people like both brands for different contexts. Other manufacturers are also becoming more popular, most notably Paul Reed Smith.\n\nIf you have a Fender guitar, especially if it comes from someone who was seriously or professionally into guitar, it might be worth money (or worth learning to play!). On the other hand, Fender makes electric guitars ranging in value from a couple hundred to a few thousand dollars, so it's impossible to say without knowing more.

A lot of it depends on what kind of sound you want.  If you want a brighter sound (more treble), then you might want to look into Fenders.  If you're real short on cash, they have a line (I think) called Squier that sells slightly less-quality guitars for a lot cheaper that still have a good fender sound.  If you want a warmer sound (more mid-range and bass), then Gibson would be the way to go.  Their cheaper line is called Epiphone.  Honestly, I'd say a good thing to do would be to go around pawn shops and guitar stores, find some guitars that are in your price range, then play them all through the same amplifier (or run them all through a couple of different amps).  That way you can find an affordible guitar with a sound you like.

I'd have to say his Fender Jag-stang(s) that he designed himself. Early on he'd play whatever guitars he could afford to buy or borrow but the model would change pretty regularly because he'd smash them. But once he got the Fender deal he'd get a new Jag-stang when he smashed one so he'd consistently be playing the same model. And that'd be for the last two years of his life. I may be mistaken but this is what I reckon.

They are different models of guitar made by Fender.\n\nWikipedia claims that guitars from other manufacturers with similar features are also sometimes called Stratocasters, but guitar enthusiasts may frown on this.\n\nAs for the best electric guitar, that's been asked already:\n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20061123111153AAWA4mf\n\nIn my ill-informed opinion, it's your skills in making sound, not the instrument, that matters most. I could own the best guitar in the world and still suck. Jimmi Hendrix could pick up a guitar made from cheese and make it sound cool.

whatever you get, I suggest checking out Craigslist.org to see if there's a listing for your city. I bought my first bass, a Fender Standard Jazz Bass and a Polytone amplifier for $300 total. Since then I have moved that bass to my backup and bought a Fender American Jazz V. The Polytone is still my gigging amp though.\n\nI frequently see Fender Standard Jazz and Precision basses selling on my (San Diego) craigslist in the $200-$300 range. I'm a really big Jazz bass fan, but I realize that different people have different tastes. Ibanez is supposed to also make a good bass in that price range.\n\nNo matter what you decide to go with, I'd definitely do some research into the used market, whether it's craigslist, eBay, the newspaper classifieds or the local pawnshop. Sometimes you can get some great deals just because something isn't in perfect condition. Also, you may find a unique bass that you won't find in Guitar Center, or whoever your local new instrument dealer is.

I think the Epiphone is a quality guitar.  Yes, it's a poor mans Gibson, but it still has a great sound and you can have just as much fun playing it.  If you gut it and replace the pickups with Humbuckers, you probably won't be able to tell the difference.

Not sure but my guess is it's an offbrand . Type "Abilene guitars" in a search engine, that might help.

Jackson/Charvel made a 7 string Steve Vai signature series with scalloped frets years ago.
