Totally 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!!

The Black Suhr Modern.

Anthony

I love the blue 550 with the fishmans in it

Ryan Botoy

2nd for the Black Suhr. Love your green Suhr tele tho

Gregory marmon

Satin black suhr modern for sure 👍

Brian Lahiff

Definitely the satin black Suhr modern.

Justin

I’d say any of your swirl paint Ibanez’s

Keith Fine

Anything with a swirl paint job lol

Art Romo

The black Suhr Modern Satin. I bought one because I liked the look and you made it sound so good. It is an amazing guitar.

Diogo Camacho

the green ibanez with the swirl paint job.

Derek Dygulski

You were using Ibanez a lot when I first started watching you. The LB 550.

Charles Daum

Black 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.

Roger Miller

Gravedigger swirl, or the orange/blue swirl. Maybe the wild Fallout Aristides.

Steve Mallam

The dipped green Ibanez for me - that is uniquely you

Randy Fluker

Black Suhr mostly but that sea foam green Jackson makes a lasting impression (even though you probably don't play it that much on video)

lynn jones

A Suhr with a hukbucker in the bridge. Probably the swirl paint job

TOMMY M

Suhr Modern

Richard Chirino

A black Suhr, but your Dunables always stand out

Ryan Abney

Your Prestige RG3120TW. I used to have one and regret selling it every day.

Ste D

Yeah the specific ocean Jackson Virtuoso but that’s only because I had it at the time and thought we were guitar bros

Taos Smith

I always think of that black Suhr semi-hollow telecaster.

Michael Curtis

Interesting 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?” 🤷‍♂️

Christophe

The suhr modern withe and black stripes and the old blue ibanez RG with fishman pickups

Tim Sauers

Well, I am old school Uncle Ben guy, so I'm gonna say the swirl guitars.

Joao Tavares

Your Suhr Modern has a certain badass no-nonsense pro-getting-down-to-business quality which I find very inspiring

Sandro

The black Suhr

David

Black Suhr for sure... but your black and white bengal stripe Suhr is my favourite

Matthew Dent

Les Paul - can't beat the classics

Aldo Ferrari

You have more new guitar days than Pete Townsend! I think your Suhr guitars are your preferred axes

Michael

White tiger Suhr

Ryan Mcleod

I honestly don't know why because it should be any of the swirls, but the Green Suhr tele.

Bill Engelhardt

Swirly Ibanez for sure, but my favorite would be the LP Custom.

Peter Whitten

Hi Ben, I would have to say a swirl Ibanez or a green Suhr Tele

Joe Taylor

The black Suhr satin.

Sole Doubt

One of your custom swirl ibanezs is the uncle Ben guitar.

Peter Whitten

Ya know what’s crazy I put my honest answer on this and Then I read some of the comments and I see other people put or say the same thing. About a swirl or green tele. That’s you man 🎸🎸😎

Erik Berg

RG470 with DiMarzio Titans. Your Leviathan covers are elite.

MD Ziglar

Suhr guitars. I so achingly wish I could afford one; & they always remind me of Uncle Ben…🤘🎸

Scott Lee

The Ben Eller guitar = black satin Suhr Dumpster recognition = blue RG550 (the customizations are very particular)

Tim White

Anything with a swirl!

Matt Womack

Blue Ibanez RG with the chrome Fishmans

Ben Morris

I think the black Suhr as well. I kinda got one myself cuz of you.

Adam A Karol

The bengal striped Suhr. That guitar is insane, it was what first drew me to your channel long ago. In the sad world where I found that in a dumpster, I'd grab it and bring it directly back to your house knowing it was yours.

Joel Alain

The Surf Green Jackson Virtuoso…mostly because I want one too Edit: Sorry, Jackson calls the colour “Specific Ocean”, not Surf Green. LOL

Ash Matheson

For me, it's the blue with white pickguard Ibanez. But I think that's more from when I first saw your videos.

Anthony Reid

The Suhr Modern Satin. What a beast of a guitar!

theseankid

It used to be one of the 7 string swirl Ibanez, but in recent years the black Shur custom 6.

Joe McKenna

The swirl RGs are the uncle Ben guitars. The Jesus of Ibanezus. Those, or the black Suhr modern satin.

Chris Corke

The Suhr Zebra for sure! Thanks again Mr.Uncle Ben Sir,for these amazing lessons😀👍🎸

Jason

Light blue ibanez RG with fishmans

Brian Acuff

So many guitars... For me it would be the green Suhr Tele because I believe that was the first video I saw of Ben, lately I've been seeing the Jacksons... My question for Ben is construction wise what would be the Uncle Ben signature model?

Brian S

White tiger Suhr or the black Suhr modern - why pick just one :)

Samir A

Hello Kitty

Ralph Ashford

Ummm...this question was intended for me to go back and rewatch al the videos. But, imma guess that blue swirly one because you took the time to colour match the strap.

Chris Nicol

not a guitar, but every time I see a DOD Grunge pedal, I think of Uncle Ben.

Larry

I've only been on your Patreon for a short time, but I will have to go with Jacksons?

Simon m

Black Suhr for sure

Roger Mannby

Yes the black Suhr, I almost bought one because of that but ended up with a PRS …

Jeff Hagadorn

Black suhr modern satin. I’m usually surprised when you DON’T play that guitar. It is clearly your favorite. :)

Shahar Bar

The swirly Ibanez RG you made back in the day…

Kenny Roscoe

Everyone knows you want us to say the jem77fp; So there ya go Ben!

John Hallman

When you demo'd the new Jackson Virtuoso HT, I was thinking that is such a Ben Guitar...

Tony

I 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.

Robert Guillory

A super strat with a swirl paint job. The swirl is mandatory.

chris kocher

It's the Suhr Modern Satin for sure. But you have a bunch of stuff that I think is really cool.

Ian Jess

It’s got to be the beastly dunable, every time I see that on the screen I get a semi 😁

Sean Parrish

Black Suhr Modern for the metal/rock shreds, green Suhr Tele for the twangy shreds.

Brian Newman

You 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.

Garry Kim

Suhr fer sure. I've never seen anyone but you play a Suhr.

Luca

Bro 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.

Julio Auto

I'm not sure Ben has A guitar, but your amp is the Friedman JEL

TJW

The swirly super strat, the badass Dunable, and the elegant Les Paul Custom.

NYCM&AHole

Yeah I associate you with your amp stack + oxbox more than any specific guitar. Same with Pete Thorne and his weird globe light.

Doug

I want to know what guitar is the one you think of as the Ben guitar? Maybe that’ll be in the results of this poll?

Rutger

One of your DIY swirls from way back when

John Hicks

black Suhr… but you inspired me to get the jackson virtuoso

Seth Howie

Black Surh or the green swirl 7 string Ibanez

Shawn T

Suhr is the guy that plays with andy wood guitar, the green swirl or the rg3120 would be the ben guitar

Jason

I think Suhr.

Brent Murphy

Any superstrat with a swirl paint job - I thought you used to do that yourself?

Vacuously Unvexed

The gorgeous Jem that I think your wife got you?

Justin

One of the Suhrs.

Edoz

The White Tiger Suhr, or one of the swirly Ibanez

Gregg B.

The black satin Suhr is classic-era Uncle Ben. But I think any of the Jacksons look real good on you.

Dazza

I think the Ibanez swirl that you did yourself... an I-Ben-ez!

Wonker

Oh that’s easy it’s probably the 39 inch Jr squier guitar Lol

Carlos Piedrahita

Probably the RGs, however I think the Jacksons match your eyes better.

Blake Chamness

I always think of the old blue Ibanez with white pick guard…Kate may have called it ugly?

Loomi

The 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.

Cole Cooper

The 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).

John Bonelli

Suhr 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.

Glenn

RG550, mostly because I want us to have the same guitar.

Jacob Jensen

Any one of the swirl guitars....probably the green RG.

William Hernandez

Suhr super strat without the Floyd rose. But honestly you use so many...so I really should say any super strat style guitar.

kai S

Swirl Ibanez, because its unique.

Erlend Tordal

Superstrat, Ibanez with swirls or Suhr

Michael Cunningham

I 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 🙌🏼

Mike Mortenson

It’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.

Haplo

The blue and pink Suhr SCREAMS "Uncle Ben"

Josh Fairbanks

The black Suhr Modern Satin, as you actively fall in love with it over and over on camera.

Marcoroni

I think the sprinkled green one with the red button EXIT. :-)

Michael daCosta

Blue and Pink Suhr...such a sick guitar, and something a stepdad would never play!

Chad Peplinski

For me, I still think of your early work with a swirl Ibanez

AK

Ibanez rg550 with fishman pickups

Wes Whaley

The 80s shred Suhr blue and pink swirls

Chris Pearce

I think any of your swirl guitars. I think your just a swirly guy.

Dan Conley

Another vote for the Suhr Swirls...

Shawn T

as a follow up the results likely correlate to what guitar ben had when you first watched his youtube video

DrReiCow

Easily your swirl Ibanez. I most associate you with Ibanez guitars. Moo

Bin-Dog

For me it’s definitely the green Suhr T modern!! I’m green with envy!

Gaclav

At first I was like "definetely that black shur superstrat", but later I thought "really? It would be any iby with benjob on the body".

John Wiest

The black suhr you have. The one with the gotoh trem. I always loved that thing.

Michael Davis

Black suhr is the one that's stands out the most you where pretty stoked when you got it.

Brian Born

teal ibanez with the chip on the top horn.

K Dog

The nazgûl swirl RG

shawroon

Blue Ibanez RG550? with the fishman fluences.

Luis Bonnin

The one your wife designed for you

Jason The Gimp

Definitely the one you tab out ‘Ooh Baby’ by Cryer on for sure 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

T Kelly

The Suhr, for sure.
