What's your most unique guitar?

My Gretsch Sundown Serenade G4500 acoustic. Unique? I bet there aren’t three other guys on this forum who have one. Especially not one with the original box!

 

You and I are getting predictable @calebaaron666

 

I don`t own it anymore but this one was crazy:

Made of reclaimed pine and recycled hardware of various origins.
Played and sounded ...äh...rustic.

 

My hot rod D-18. Coincident with this custom build, I sent Martin a letter requesting my Adi top sport narrow grain at the seam and wide grain out on the bouts. The finished guitar came back with revised specs designating a grade 8 top (5-6 is typically premium). What makes this guitar unique is that it came from "the tree." I'll put it up against any dreadnought in a cowboy chord shoot out.

Built almost 30 years ago. Headless nylon string with piezo-trem and build-in Leds. Tuned an octave lower.
I have a very distant fantasy to bring it in production some day, but Mr. Strandberg would probably sue my face LOL.

 

Well who doesn’t need one of those? What exactly is it plugged into there?

 

Power supply to light up the Leds for the pic. Couldn’t find a 9V block quick enough.

 

Well I'm certainly one of the three. have my original boxes in storage too-- the boxes were just too cool to throw away.

 

As far as "unique" guitars in my collection, here's just a sampling-- Most are stock models, but not ones you see every day.

Take your pick of them.

 

Got to be my limited champagne sparkle jet on the right.

 

I have nothing remarkable. I have a truly beat up '69 Voxton (owned by Vox, became Yamaha) that went thru the service with me. It's a survivor.

The other one is my father-in-law's partially destroyed '30s Harmony/Silvertone. It's an ugly tricolor sunburst (and I dislike bursts) with a bilious gold sparkle pickguard that's coming unglued after over 80 years. What makes the guitar special is the huge shattered top where it was damaged in an accident. He totaled a '35 Chevy on night after playing a barn dance. Road turned, he didn't. Said that seeing the guitar reminded him NEVER to drink again. The really amazing part is that it's still playable.

 

I know I have posted this before, but this is the most unique we have. I apologize for the redundancy. It started as a damaged 2007 Dark Sun RKS. I pieced it back together using a N.O.S. partially painted body. It only had one half, so I painted another N.O.S. unpainted body body to match. I had the aluminum ribs anodized in gold, and replaced the broken tuners with Gold Sperzel ones. I replaced the wiring, the pickup bushings, and the broken output jack as well. It plays very well.

 

Had these made years ago. The one on the right the body was an Epi electric mandolin. It has a Tele neck, 2 Gibson FB p/u's and a Duncan humbucker. The white one was cut from a solid piece of mahogany and has the same p/u's /hardware as the other. Found the neck on eBay with the correct inlays.

 

duane eddy bass. piano tone for days...

 

Sorry, mine are in the attic, and here in Tennessee it's a little too warm already to go up there to get 'em.

But if you want to know what they look like-- here are some pics of the front and back. The box is the same for each model.
