My Favorite Guitars_________________________________ Casey Payne 1 In fact, I have many favorite instruments, but when I think of my favorite guitars, I can limit the number down to three. While choosing your favorite guitar, you should search for three factors. First and foremost is if the guitar is reliable. What I mean by reliable is will it stand the test of time? Secondly, how well does it sound? Every guitarist must have a great sound from his or her guitar of choice. Third, how well does it feel? The neck of the guitar should be the right shape for your hand. In saying this, I have three guitars that match the qualifications of being my favorites: the Fender Mustang, the Fender Stratocaster, and the Gibson Hummingbird. My first guitar of choice is the Fender Mustang. Just recently, I was in a music store. I came across a Fender Mustang and picked it up to play. Immediately, I fell in love with it. The main thing that I love about this guitar is that it has a neck that matches up with my hand perfectly. In addition, it has a smaller body than most guitars. I plugged this guitar into an amplifier and started playing. The sound was amazing! I just happened to have extra money in my bank account, so I bought it. It happens to be my favorite guitar of all. My second guitar of choice is the Fender Stratocaster. I love this guitar, mainly because it was my first guitar I ever owned. My father bought me this guitar for Christmas when I was thirteen years old. There are many variations of this guitar. You can buy this guitar almost any way that you would like it. My own personal Stratocaster is one that I have built. On the internet, I found the neck, body, and pick-ups that I wanted. I put the guitar together and fell in love with its tone, feel, and beauty. It remains one of the best in my collection of guitars.
