First call go to  - Steinberger GM pro.  But I'm heavily into 13 pin equipment, so I've got a couple of more-or-less identical Fender Roland-ready Strats, as well as a Vantage V695S w/GK2 on it, and an Ibanez acoustic ditto.

About a year and some back I picked up a Squire Affinity Tele - plays great, exceptional bang for the buck, although I've swapped out all switches and pots, installed Duncan Vintage 54's, and put Planet Waves tuners on it.

Others - Parker Fly Deluxe hardtail, Samick Artist Pro (strung high and heavy for slide), Jay Turser Hawk 12 string, various steel and nylon string acoustics (best one being a Takamine), a 3/4 scale bass...... couple others.

Last time I counted, I think it was like 16 - but yeah, I could strip down to 3 (Steiny, Strat, Tele) and not really miss the others.

Dream Guitar - http://www.parkerguitars....re-Series/   The Adrian Belew, can't think of much more I'd want in an axe - but w-a-a-y outta my budget.....

Edit - link's kinda funky, but just click on Adrian right above.........

Ahhhh... Your SG pic made me miss my old SG. I had a 73 natural  with a bigsby..bought it for 200.00 sold it cheap back in the day too.... probably 250.00.

 Only electric I have is my early PRS.


I got it in 88 or 89 and mistreated it no case, always getting knocked off the stand. It ended up getting a huge crack in the body where the neck bolts on. I lived with it for years glued it the best I could, then luckily I found a great replacement body on e-bay. I'm mailing Spacey the old one so he can use as a template and to show why it should be illegal for me to go anywhere near a piece of wood with tools, paints or any type of adhesives.



Awesome stories and pics. Love those Strats, I had the same problem turning down the volume on a Kramer ,I had ages ago, set up like a Strat. when palm muting  Strummy, I removed and bypassed the volume. Though I don't think they are a good looking guitar, I played a Mexican Tele  my neighbor had and just couldn't get over the tone. I love my PRS and will always keep it but I'm 99.993% sure my next guitar is going to be a Tele.

I played one of those once....I think I'll turn that body into a Tele.

My #1 is the Ibanez Les Paul Deluxe 59er on the left. Ibanez fans may recognize the Artist EQ bridge fitted instead of the standard Gibson style. Factory Super 80 pickups.
A close second is the Epiphone Genesis Custom on the far right. It has a slim profile neck, and that peculiar little toggle switch. When engaged, it has a nice, full but bright tone. I've been spending some time getting more acquainted with it lately.
The rotary switch on the Gibson S1 needs to be replaced, so it doesn't see much action these days.

I got rid of a few of my guitars at the end of last year to buy some new gear I just wasnt playing then and was sad to see them siting there when they could be in a loveing home.

I still have a nice collection though

My baby is my Parker Night Fly ( Total work horse guitar ) I also have a Gibson Les paul Studio LImited run Smart wood edition made from swamp ash.

Accoustics I have are a Martin DC15e and a Martin 00cx1ae and a Norman


I have one Bass and its a Spector with Emg pickups. ( cant remember the model off by hand )

I cant seem to get pics to work on here but heres a link for any one wanting to  see my parker :)

Oh yeah, that's some nice gear Mark - have I permission to drool a little?
 
 
And you sure do treat 'em well, putting 'em all in front of the fire to keep warm
 

Permission granted to drool (not on them please).  If times get hard I then can go right to left as firewood.

Anyone notice that there is NOT a 5-String of ANY kind in there?

Fixed

Brilliant Mark!

Thought I'd post a pic. First group shot with the one I built.
I keep these in the stands handy except the Cordoba. It stays in the case.
In case I didn't scream loud enough when I plugged in the one I built...it's the Strat
style with stripes.
All these are my favorites. If I had only these I'd be fine with that.
A Dobro is next addition. (hopefully)

What's so special about the one on the right, kind of looks like drift wood.

 Heavens Spacey, that's a better selection than our one and only music store.  They all look sweet.

In case anyone does not know, mine is my Alembic (left)
But for most CHB songs these days, My American P-Bass is the GoTo. (middle)
Early CHB stuff was done on my Line6 (right)

Fixed?
