My only guitar is an American strat that I hardtailed. Sounded amazing through my mesa roadster until I blew a power tube last night. Doh.

back home I have a les paul copy that I built from a kit that my ex bought me. I promised her that I would never get rid of it, and I haven't. But here in China I was gifted a chinese brand of acoustic, it's a mini jumbo with a cutaway. There are a lot of weird brands and very close knockoffs here.

Kibble, milkbones, and P Basses. And redheads.
Acoustic is a Gibson J-50 I got when I was 12 (1977).
Electric is a Guild S300A-D Dimarzio buckers that can be split - great unknown axe.

I prefer to play a my classical guitar. It's a takamine. When I'm feeling electric I go with the prs custom 24 or gretsch electomatic hollowbody.. I started playing guitar a few years back and took some lessons to get a better understanding of chords etc.. the step was very beneficial in many ways, I learned quite a bit and became better at bass in the process. Now I can record basic guitar parts when experimenting. Only one problem, can't play with a pick, wish I could but just don't have the ability
My Taylor electrics. From left to right: T3/B, T5, and T3/B modified with Lollartron pickups and a Stellartone rotary switch. The T5 is a unique beast. Plays extremely well and fully hollow. Generally not received well by guitarists. The T3/Bs are semi-hollow. Most guitarists don't know this line exists. Very well made and versatile. Quality stacks up with my handmade stuff.
My old Kramers. Good 'ol shredders. The lightning bolt Nighswan II is probably the best playing guitar I have ever laid hands on. It's a bummer that I may never find something that plays with such low action. Even shredders have commented that the action is super low.
I have a pretty wonky collection of guitars consisting of:
Roland G-303
PRS CE24MT
Yamaha SE-200 that's been totally modded
Vox Phantom
Ibanez AF-something (Artcore arch top hollow body that looks like an L-5)
[edit: Now with 100% more pictures!]
But if I had to do it all over I'd just get a Telecaster, a Les Paul Custom, and a D-28.

Stambaugh Nashville B-Bender. Tugging on the neck bends the B string up a full step for some pedal steel tricks. Pickups are Fender Noiseless and wired with "7 way Strat" wiring, which is a basic Strat switch, but adds neck+bridge and all 3 pickups. Headstock is modified to have a shorter B string and eliminate the need for a string tree as well as a D Tuner on the E string. Flat fretboard radius, zero fret, and stainless steel frets. Forearm carve like a strat, Parsons Green B-Bender, alder body, figured walnut "pickguard", and rattlesnake inlay.
