Ok, random question… what is THE Ben guitar?
Added 2024-11-18 17:46:19 +0000 UTCTotally random question that I want to know your thoughts on!
I play a bunch of different guitars by Suhr, Ibanez, Jackson, etc… but what is the ONE guitar that YOU most heavily associate with my stuff? Like, if you saw it sticking out of a dumpster, you’d go “how did Ben’s guitar get there?!”??
Hope yall are having a happy Monday! I just had a GREAT workout, and next I’ll be in the studio all day making some hot new content for yall. Can’t wait to share!!

Michael Davis
2024-11-24 23:54:27 +0000 UTCThe black suhr you have. The one with the gotoh trem. I always loved that thing.
John Wiest
2024-11-24 16:05:30 +0000 UTCAt first I was like "definetely that black shur superstrat", but later I thought "really? It would be any iby with benjob on the body".

2024-11-19 18:02:28 +0000 UTCIt’s got to be what I think you call the nuclear finish you did on an early Ibanez? Or you blue 550 with the Fishmans. Lots of people own lotsa stuff but those are unique for sure.
Mike Mortenson

Christian Connett
2024-11-19 15:59:23 +0000 UTCI think the correct answer is the swirly Ibanez super strat. And we all KNOW which one. He sure plays a lot of Suhrs, but there’s only one swirly Ibanez 🙌🏼

William Hernandez
2024-11-19 07:12:42 +0000 UTCAny one of the swirl guitars....probably the green RG.
Jacob Jensen
2024-11-19 06:31:41 +0000 UTCRG550, mostly because I want us to have the same guitar.
Glenn
2024-11-19 06:17:29 +0000 UTCSuhr Modern Satin. I know because I got the same one in blue before I discovered your channel. Like it so much that I got a tat of the headstock on my arm.
John Bonelli
2024-11-19 04:51:36 +0000 UTCThe suhr modern satin is your guitar no doubt. However, if I saw any of the swirl RG's in the trash, especially the green one, I'm spamming your socials because wtf that's ONLY your guitar(s).
Cole Cooper
2024-11-19 03:23:53 +0000 UTCThe blue and pink Suhr(that I noticed has a new neck now). I saw that guitar in the first video of yours I watched and called Suhr to see if I could get one.
Loomi
2024-11-19 02:08:06 +0000 UTCI always think of the old blue Ibanez with white pick guard…Kate may have called it ugly?
Blake Chamness
2024-11-19 02:00:09 +0000 UTCProbably the RGs, however I think the Jacksons match your eyes better.
Carlos Piedrahita

Dazza
2024-11-18 23:28:30 +0000 UTCThe black satin Suhr is classic-era Uncle Ben. But I think any of the Jacksons look real good on you.
Gregg B.
2024-11-18 23:25:04 +0000 UTCDef Suhr or Ibanez.
Mathew A Fascetti
2024-11-18 23:24:51 +0000 UTCThe White Tiger Suhr, or one of the swirly Ibanez

Jason
2024-11-18 22:11:22 +0000 UTCSuhr is the guy that plays with andy wood guitar, the green swirl or the rg3120 would be the ben guitar

Doug
2024-11-18 20:39:28 +0000 UTCYeah I associate you with your amp stack + oxbox more than any specific guitar. Same with Pete Thorne and his weird globe light.

Julio Auto
2024-11-18 20:07:17 +0000 UTCBro The Duke (swirl 7?) will always be the one, that Suhr is a close second and a JEM also came to mind when saw this.
Luca
2024-11-18 20:01:05 +0000 UTCSuhr fer sure. I've never seen anyone but you play a Suhr.
Garry Kim
2024-11-18 19:59:43 +0000 UTCYou make any guitar sound amazing but... it seems like you've featured your black modern Suhr in more videos than the others. It fits you well - tight, aggressive, modern yet..... refined.
Brian Newman
2024-11-18 19:59:35 +0000 UTCBlack Suhr Modern for the metal/rock shreds, green Suhr Tele for the twangy shreds.
Sean Parrish
2024-11-18 19:57:35 +0000 UTCIt’s got to be the beastly dunable, every time I see that on the screen I get a semi 😁
Ian Jess
2024-11-18 19:56:55 +0000 UTCIt's the Suhr Modern Satin for sure. But you have a bunch of stuff that I think is really cool.

Dan Morrison
2024-11-18 19:50:33 +0000 UTCA super strat with a swirl paint job. The swirl is mandatory.
Robert Guillory
2024-11-18 19:50:00 +0000 UTCI always think of the pink & blue Suhr and the black & white tiger stripe one (probably the first one I ever saw you playing). Of course the Jem is phenomenal, but if I saw it sticking out of a dumpster I'd probably think of Vai first.
Tony
2024-11-18 19:49:01 +0000 UTCSuhr Modern...or the zebra Suhr!

2024-11-18 17:54:24 +0000 UTCInteresting question.. When I watched your last video, (I think) you were playing an Ibanez guitar, but I remember thinking, “I wonder why he doesn’t play Suhr guitars as much anymore?” 🤷♂️
Michael Curtis
2024-11-18 17:54:01 +0000 UTCShur, always.
Devon Ward
2024-11-18 17:53:48 +0000 UTCI always think of that black Suhr semi-hollow telecaster.
Taos Smith
2024-11-18 17:53:21 +0000 UTCYeah the specific ocean Jackson Virtuoso but that’s only because I had it at the time and thought we were guitar bros

lynn jones
2024-11-18 17:51:13 +0000 UTCBlack Suhr mostly but that sea foam green Jackson makes a lasting impression (even though you probably don't play it that much on video)
Randy Fluker
2024-11-18 17:51:03 +0000 UTCGravedigger swirl, or the orange/blue swirl. Maybe the wild Fallout Aristides.

Steve Mallam
2024-11-18 17:51:02 +0000 UTCBlack Suhr modern. It’s not my favorite but it’s the Ben guitar. Of course, any swirl guitar would also be associated with you. Honorable mention to the RG with Fishman pickups.
Charles Daum
2024-11-18 17:51:00 +0000 UTCYou were using Ibanez a lot when I first started watching you. The LB 550.
