Haven't done this in a while, and most of have made a few changes since then.

Almost hate to call it my #1, since that means different things to different people, but the guitar I'm playing the most is an '08 Firebird V I picked up from currypowder here on the forum.

This is currypowder's pic, so I've made a few changes since then... :)

3 way tie between my '11 Charvel CS Star, the '13 Custom Cali and my '92 Diablo. :lol:

It is not the newest, most expensive or even (necessarily) the "prettiest", but this is the one that just feels and sounds "just right" on most days. Never fails to get a compliment........She, not me.

Huber Dolphin II

The 3 way switch works "backwards", as does the push-pull. Too good to mess with changing.

Lately it has been my Front Porch 335, but that could very well change next week when I take delivery of the Newport Pro.

Can't explain it - total beater that I cobbled together from parts. Sounds great, plays great, and light as a feather....

The "Centablo"

How well does it move that snow?

It doesn't move it. It melts it.

Mine ('79 LP)

The corner of the bridge, worn off by my hand. It used to be sharp. Complete with blood and a busted string.

Toss up between these 2.

It's tough to say right now, as I've been playing the Artist Korina the most, the little bit that I've had time to play.

But I still think this is #1

My 2005 AVRI Jazzmaster with Lollars. I had my guitar guy compound the fret radius above the 12th fret, and now I can't put it down.

The vintage German-made Hoyer I own is the one that gets the main spot in my current gig:

Actually, this:

Followed closely by this (when I play guitar):

If I can get my Strat tweaked properly it could be a fight, but I've been saying "if I can get my Strat tweaked properly" for three or four years now - it's closer than ever, but I just can't find the time to work on it and, with the Senior available, I'm not particularly motivated.

Right now my Korina Standard from 1995 and my natural 4-digit Standard. They just scream through the Marshall, with the band. Not a bad sound in them. Great necks too.

They cover most stuff, and both got the magic tone. Turn the vol knob down - they caress so sweet. Turn it up to full throttle - sounds like yo mama getting banged, just screams. Never any need to ever fiddle with the amp Controls, they just sound awesome.

When it's not this one (sorry - didn't polish it up nicely before the pic):

Probably this for now because I just got it not too long ago - loaded with WCR Cherrybursts:

For shows: the PRS CE24. It gets a lot of sounds, won't break if I drop it, and stays in tune for a whole set.

Around the house? Been playing the Koa Studio a lot. "New toy" buzz.

A Godin LG I got for tree-fiddy, with hard case. Put some Peter Florance Voodoo P90's in it, Schaller locking tuners, string saver saddles.

Best playing neck ever, and I've owned Hamers, Gibo's, Rics, and Fenders.

Even at retail this guitar is well worth the price.

Bass: Still the '83 G & L L-1000 (sunburst w/ maple board)

New backup bass: '84 Peavey Patriot (black w/ maple board)

Guitar: Still the '83 G & L SC-2 hardtail (black w/ maple board, which I sometimes play if someone sits in on bass, in which case they play the Peavey)
