My guitar addiction / mental illness means my house is full to the brim with bloody guitars and I haven't the heart to part with any of them.

Exactly

Though I suppose in the spirit of the thread if push comes to shove I like superstrats the best. I.e. if you told me I could only own one guitar it'd be a superstrat of some description.

It seems I'm quite rare I play probably at least 3 different guitars each day, if it's something to play unplugged while I have a smoke in the basement it's my duo sonic (squier) or faith acoustic, if it's a quick plug into the pod while I got 20 mins from kids it's my epi SG and then in the night I treat myself to my LP into amp. That's pretty much every day, oh and the vintage acoustic I keep in piercing room at work, that gets played most days too.

Since yesterday I've played nothing but the new LP

For the last week I've been playing my Peerless Revolver HB a lot - mainly due to guilt from having listed it for sale and bottling out. Played tonight, just took the Peerless, no board just a couple of pedals and one Blues Jr. Sounded really great, IMO.
I got Travis' Cabronita on Tuesday, so I think I'll probably be leaning on that fairly heavily soon, though! Downside is it has launched my already bubbling Gretsch GAS into borderline meltdown.

At the moment our band is on a bit of a medically induced sabbatical, so I have been giving my Squier J Mascis a rest. I'm doing a bit of recording and keep coming back to 3 guitars- the Ric 610, my ancient Westone Rainbow semi and my 90's Epi Korina SG. Not a trem between them, but they sound exactly how I want the guitars to sound at the minute!

Neil · February 2014

Although I play them all I find myself gravitating toward the LP Junior for its simplicity.

Just plug in and only two knobs to mess around with (oooh matron!)

/\ Nice trio there @Neil. I'd say you've got just about all musical bases covered there. What model is the LP in centre?

octatonic · February 2014

Lately I've been playing this most of the time.

Anderson Classic- now has Suhr HSS pickups in it.

Amazingly light and resonant.

I absolutely love it.

Liking that Strat @Neil.

timmysoft · February 2014

I'm currently rocking this godin session a lot, i wanted some sort of super strat but I couldn't find a nice fender and I struggle to justify the cost of shur's and Anderson's. This plays and sounds every bit as good as the suhr s2 I tried recently.

Thanks.

They play and sound as good as they look. Mark Bailey built the blue one - to my specs - a few years ago. That one is probably still my "if you could only have one" guitar. The PRS came to me recently, it's been through a few hands here, but I really like its feel and sound - the p'up tap/coil split gives it a clear cutting option as well as the normal power, power, power.

Catthan · February 2014

I've got 3 gtrs atm, an Am. series strat which I've modded to hell and she's just right, my old SG special for the 2 HBs thing and a cheap Ibanez artcore for jazz. That last one is amazing vfm surprisingly.

Funny as after many expensive gtrs I've come full circle to the ones I've had for the last 10yrs excluding the semi.

I have also smth special on order to be here in autumn.

Future plan is that the semi gets replaced for a Suhr archrop std when my jazz playing and finances allow it,,

20 yrs from now I see myself playing a tele..

usedtobe · February 2014

I do like that Junior!

Thanks @Skarloey, it's a 2004 Gibson Les Paul Standard.

CHRISB50 · February 2014

My Strat, as it is now my only option. I got rid of everything else to buy my amp. Strat is a CS NOS 1960 3tsb. HW Abbi's, 9.5 RW board, 5 way selector and modern wiring.
