TB'ers. what guitars do you like?

I'm a guitarist who also plays bass--and tries to play bass-not just play bass like a guitar--although I do that as well.
I have an Ibanez SDGR 500F, but I also have a couple of guitars with Ibanez on the headstock...

I like other brands as well, but the one i have the most of is Ibanez.
 
I played guitar for about 10 years before I switched to bass. My main guitar was a late 60s Tele that I carved a hole in and added a humbucker. I also played an Ibanez explorer for a while (couldn't tell you why), owned les paul deluxe, and a handful of other cheap ago guitars. Always wanted a Strat, and just bought an MIA a few months ago. Was just playing it. This Strat is hands down the best guitar I ever owned, and my favorite.
 
I have a Modern Player Tele - awesome sounds from its 3 pickups, and the coil tap on the Bridge HB is an instant 'I'd like to solo please' switch.

Only con is that it's heavy!! I did try a Thinline but it didn't sound as good.
