The Suhr, for sure.

Will Alvarez

Matte Black Suhr

Jason The Gimp

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

Luis Bonnin

The one your wife designed for you

shawroon

Blue Ibanez RG550? with the fishman fluences.

K Dog

The nazgûl swirl RG

Brian Born

teal ibanez with the chip on the top horn.

Michael Davis

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

John Wiest

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

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".

Bin-Dog

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

DrReiCow

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

Shawn T

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

Dan Conley

Another vote for the Suhr Swirls...

Chris Pearce

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

Wes Whaley

The 80s shred Suhr blue and pink swirls

Brian Hudson

Probably your Suhr guitars.

Anand Kumar

A none JEM swirl Ibanez

AK

Ibanez rg550 with fishman pickups

Welsh wizard

1997 ibanez jem

Chad Peplinski

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

Michael daCosta

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

Samuel Brockmann

black Suhr Modern Satin

Alec Riley McClanahan

Black satin suhr

Marcoroni

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

Thomas

A hundred times this!

Josh Fairbanks

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

Dan Socaciu

orange blue/teal swirl

Haplo

The blue and pink Suhr SCREAMS "Uncle Ben"

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.

Christian Connett

Swirled Ibanez, duh

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 🙌🏼

Erlend Tordal

Superstrat, Ibanez with swirls or Suhr

Brent Watson

Suhr modern satin

kai S

Swirl Ibanez, because its unique.

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.

Jacob Jensen

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

Glenn

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

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.

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).

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.

Blake Chamness

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

Carlos Piedrahita

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

Wonker

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

Michael Cunningham

The Ibanez w the swirl

Stephen Collins

The black Shur

Reckless96

The black Suhr

Dazza

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

Gregg B.

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

Mathew A Fascetti

Def Suhr or Ibanez.

Edoz

The White Tiger Suhr, or one of the swirly Ibanez

Justin

One of the Suhrs.

Ronzelver

Suhr

Vacuously Unvexed

The gorgeous Jem that I think your wife got you?

Brent Murphy

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

Jason

I think Suhr.

Shawn T

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

Seth Howie

Black Surh or the green swirl 7 string Ibanez

Christopher Marion

The electric blue and neon pink suhr(?)

John Hicks

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

Rutger

One of your DIY swirls from way back when

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?

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.

TJW

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

NYCM&AHole

I’m not so Suhr about that

Doug Pinckney

The Suhr!

Julio Auto

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

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.

Garry Kim

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

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.

Sean Parrish

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

Ian Jess

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

chris kocher

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

Dan Morrison

Les Paul Custom, baby

Robert Guillory

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

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.

Henning Pettersen

Suhr Modern...or the zebra Suhr!

Johan Alexandersson

Earlier, the black Suhr. Now, it’s that floral JEM!

John Hallman

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

Kenny Roscoe

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

Rick Pettus

The Zebra for me!

Shahar Bar

The swirly Ibanez RG you made back in the day…

dana laitinen

The zebra Suhr.

Tom Pointner

Got any Andersons?

Mark Martin

Sure modern satin.

Jeff Hagadorn

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

Roger Mannby

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

Tristan Youngquist

Black Suhr

Simon m

Black Suhr for sure

Larry

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

Chris Nicol

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

Braedan Binkiewicz

Terra Suhr

Clark Christensen

Ibáñez RG

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.

Samir A

Hello Kitty

Standupunk

Hard tail Jackson ?

Brian S

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

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?

Jason

Light blue ibanez RG with fishmans

Chris Corke

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

Joe McKenna

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

theseankid

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

Anthony Reid

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

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.

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

Paul Baglio

Jackson

Justin Baker

Black satin Suhr

Peter Santa Ana

Black Suhr. That’s all you.

Trevor Carrera

The blue swirly Ibanez 100%

Chris Wright

But if it has to be from the current crop; the black Suhr.

Darren Bruestle

Agree with Scott. Precisely

Chris Wright

The next one 😅

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.

Ben Morris

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

Matt Womack

Blue Ibanez RG with the chrome Fishmans

Tim White

Anything with a swirl!

Ryne G. Schuler

Suhr

Scott Lee

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

MD Ziglar

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

Erik Berg

RG470 with DiMarzio Titans. Your Leviathan covers are elite.

kelley bryan

Love your swirl axes!!!

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 🎸🎸😎

Sole Doubt

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

Joe Taylor

The black Suhr satin.

Peter Whitten

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

Bill Engelhardt

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

Kevin Chan

that black Suhr LOL

Ryan Mcleod

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

Michael

White tiger Suhr

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

David

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

Sandro

The black Suhr

Joao Tavares

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

Tim Sauers

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

Christophe

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

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?” 🤷‍♂️

Devon Ward

Shur, always.

Taos Smith

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

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

Ryan Abney

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

Richard Chirino

A black Suhr, but your Dunables always stand out

TOMMY M

Suhr Modern

lynn jones

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

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)

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

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.
