definitely MAMI model. just coz it's unique and one of a kind ^^

The White Falcon! It's so classy and she looks so good with it despite its large size. I also love the Italian Speedster. I need to get one of those >.< 
The Mami Model is cute and cool but I guess it's not my style heheh It's her stable strat though right? So I love it, too X)

mami model

i prefer the jazzmaster...

Personally i love when she rocks that White Falcon. I get the same feeling with her new Custom Shop Les Paul.

MAMI Model. It's like her signature guitar.  

Gretsch! if it's a car it's probably an expensive luxury car

i used to think it's yuuya-kun the sticker strat, but now i think it's her HSS-mami model~

The MamiCaster! (I refuse to debate about this :p) 

JazzMaster follows

Of course, THE Mami Model Strat!

Well, I am thinking of decorating its design to my black G&L Tribute Rampage.

She rocks well with her new Les Paul too. As for her White Falcon, uhmm.... Honestly, still a wild horse for her to tame. It's more of a rockabilly and blues than a punk rock guitar for me.

the MAMI MODEL one.

just love the design and color choice!

I choose the Mami Model, I think its her signature guitar and the design is awesome.  Not to mention it makes a really raw sound.
Though my 2nd choice would be The Gretsch White Falcon, it has a unique sound and look.

Not sure how I missed this poll, but I voted Mami model

Mami does not actually have a 62 AVRI Jazzmaster. That's a Made in Mexico Classic Player Jazzmaster. If it was an AVRI, I'd have voted for it, as I'm a Jazzmaster player/owner. But the Classic Players just have no appeal whatsoever for me.

MAMI Model! If there was only a place where i can buy a Fender American HSS here. .toj.
Btw, fellow Pinoys, any idea how much is the model? I'd customize it myself instead. (i think the MAMI model is rare here)

List price is $1,099. You should be able to order one from a place like Guitar Center in the US and have it shipped to you. It's just the basic black one, and she's then had it painted and had a black plastic kit added to it.

Although the "Mami Model" is her most iconic guitar, I couldn't vote on any other than Gretsch. It's probably the most beautiful guitar ever, not just on this list. I fell in love with it instantly, and I'd definitely buy one just to hang on a wall, because I can't play guitar lol

My personal favorite Mami's guitar is blue Les Paul, but as it's not listed in poll options, I voted for Fender USA American Standard Stratocaster HSS “MAMI MODEL”, which would be my second favorite.

necropost alert*

ever since i saw a pic of the white falcon some 20+ years ago i have always lusted after it. could never justify buying one because ive never thought i was good enough to own one. 

i voted for the melting ice cream / mami model / mamicaster. its unique. its well done. its one of a kind. i liked it so much that i took my own USA standard strat and made a replica. 

but back to the white falcon... not too many guitarists are known for playing one. but frusciante is a favorite. after seeing mami play one on hon wo yomu though, i couldnt stop thinking about it. my holy grail. happy to say i have one on order and should arrive in november! not the same exact model, but also a thin center block double cut model.

I was staying at the Hard Rock Cafe in Las Vegas 20+ years ago and admiring Keith Richard's White Falcon that was in a case in the middle of the lobby.  Someone came up to me and commented how cool they had a Keith Richards guitar, and I told the guy I was more in awe that it was a classic White Falcon from the 50's or 60's.  That was a rare sight to look upon one.

Anyway, I too prefer the Mamicaster.  It's her signature just like Buddy Guy's polka dot Strat or Eddie Van Halen's "Frankenstrat."  She looks good and plays well on all the  others, but when that melted ice cream guitar is wrapped around her all is right in the world.

Every White Falcon I have ever seen has been like seeing a Picasso, whether it was in a magazine, TV, computer screen, etc. When mine arrives, I will most likely put it in a humidity controlled glass case with special lighting just so I can gaze upon like a muse for inspiration while I play my MamiCaster replica. But don't worry, I'll play the Falcon every now and then too lol.

Ain't that the truth!

It's kinda crazy to me that there was never an official Fender 'melting ice cream' model. That has to be her most iconic guitar. I bet if in some magical world Fender could release all her guitars as signature models all at once, the ice cream version would be the one that sold most.

White Falcons are seriously lovely. I find them a little bit awkward (I used to have a white Penguin, which is a lot easier to handle), but their sound is phenomenal. It's not my favourite of Mami's guitars, but it's definitely a bit of a shame she doesn't use it more, considering how good it sounds.

That said, her most recent (technically still current, since the Modern HH signature has only just been announced at the time of writing this) signature Strat, the red one, is my own favourite. It's a nice combination of parts from the 50s to the 80s. I don't usually care about sticking to vintage specs, but if you're going to have a 'traditional' Strat, that's the combination to go for. The 50s neck, 60s pickups, 70s headstock and 80s painted headstock & gold hardware (look up an 80s Fender model called "The Strat" and you'll see where Mami got her inspiration from!) is great.
My one and only complaint with the red model is that it has a single-action truss rod with access at the heel. That's one of Fender's weird restrictions which they should have moved on from decades ago, but for some reason they still insist on all 7.25" radius necks having a single-action truss rod accessible only at the heel. If it had a double-action rod with access at the headstock, like every other modern guitar, it would be perfect. It's still the guitar I'd like to have most (sadly I just don't have room for it edit update: I sold a guitar and have contacted Ikebe about buying one of the last red Mami Strats they have in stock, so hopefully I'm getting one after all!), but I wouldn't want to be her tech trying to keep it playable on tour!

I do love her Les Paul, too. I started out on Les Pauls and still own several, and I used to have a Custom Shop reissue like hers (in a different finish). But they're simply too heavy for me these days, so I gotta go with one of the Strats.

My favorite is MAMI MODEL. This guitar is special with a MAMI ’s design and it has an awasome rockin’ sound.
Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Standard in 2nd position.
And 3rd position Fender MAMI Stratocaster.
