Last year had it completely upgraded by @FelineGuitars from hardware to electronics, and now it plays like an American Standard.
It plays so nice I don't think I need any of my other guitars!!

Probably has to be this, despite me always thinking I'm more of a Les Paul person (til I play one and hate everything but the tone) - I've tried to trade/sell this a few times and glad I didnt. Dad helped buy it for me 10 years ago, always had a bit of a love/hate thing with it but I am learning to love it and now it feels like "my guitar". This is the only guitar I've had at home for about a year and been my main guitar for maybe 3 years since I sold my LP. Other guitars - especially strats - actually feel too far right now!
The Warpig bridge pickup (this is actually an Alegree copy) helps to thicken it up and add some more LPish compression. I've come to realise I prefer high output bridge pickups for the SG - lower output seems thin and weedy and somehow mid range output just sound a bit meh. It's not actually a super metally sounding pickup and I use it for everything. Splits well too, sounds like a fat tele singlecoil. It took a lot of pickup swapping to arrive at this one so I'm happy to invest the money in a "proper" Bare Knuckle pair now I know the formula works.
Actually sort of want to do a refin as I don't really care for cherry red but seems a shame to cover up that lovely grain with solid ebony which I prefer on an SG. Unless I go silverburst
But if the house was on fire and I could only save one it would be the strat. Love that guitar very much. I don't care how high the flames are, I'd have to go for it!
My eldest is coming up to it’s 3rd birthday. My newborn is only a week old.
I only ever play at home, and only one acoustic and three electrics on any given day.
That way, over the course of a month, I get to play them all.
This ...
... because it's simply the best guitar I've ever owned played.
This ...
... because it's the guitar I *should* have bought in 1979, and the one that I finally found and did buy about 30 years later.
This ...
... because it is my first born (first self build)
And, finally, this ...
... it's nothing special, but it's the acoustic that came with me to Uni, and could tell a lot of stories if it fell into the wrong hands.
The rest of them are just guitars. Nice (for the most part) guitars, but ones that I could buy or make again if necessary.
a few were non black ones.....though they were from the 70s-80s IIRC
