The polls have closed, and America YOU have decided:
Winning 44% of the vote, the Rickenbacker 360 12-string beat out both the Gretsch G6128 and Fender Custom Shop Stratocaster in the “Which Guitar Should Brian Buy” race over at Switch 2 Plan B.
I strongly suspect that the Epic Beat stuffed the ballot box so that he’d get to hear that classic Rickenbacker chime next time I played the Grove.

And I’m guessing that Stew—a strong Fender partisan—may be crestfallen over the results.
But I’d love to know who voted for what, and why.
(And of course, if you guys think I’m going to let an informal survey like this sway my decision, you’re all nuts. I’m still undecided…)

there was a vote?!
how did i miss that?
oh well. :(
Actually I didn't get to vote. So I have no idea who would have voted for the Fender CS Strat. But I will say that those who voted for the Ricky and the Gretsch have probably never had their hands on a Custom Shop guitar.
It's like the first time I ever played a real Strat after years of settling on a Sears Les Paul copy.
Gretschs have great crunch tone, Rockabilly spank. Starts to sound the same from song to song.
Ricky 12 strings are a one trick pony unless you play a lot of Birds or mid 60's classic rock. Feedback monsters.
Why Strat? Hendrix, Gilmour, Clapton, Mayer, Trower, Malmsteen, SRV, Cray, Johnson, etc. Get rid of the Mexicans and go Custom Shop. (You know I meant MIM Fenders, not the race)
My 2 cents.
I VOTED...for, yep you guessed it, the Ricky12.
But only to add to the sheer irony of the fact that you already owned one, sold it (crazy bastard), and then asked if you should buy it again.
"Get rid of the Mexicans"
Classic Dave.
