An Aria Pro 2 with original floyd and seymour duncan pups *spits* and a PRS SE Tremonti with Nailbombs. Amp wise I've got a JCM800 2204 head with 1960AC 4x12 (greenbacks), and an old Valvestate (with no valves).

What I've got coming:
Gordon Smith Graduate Standard in Matt Black with Miracle Man pups.

What I've got

Guitars: Reverend Commando GT guitar (HSS), Hofner Verythin (new model with full-sized humbuckers).

Amps: This is the embarassing bit as my V-amp 2 is probably not doing the guitars justice! I'm purely a bedroom player though. I'd love something like a Matamp Minimat, maybe one day.

As for the guitars, they do NOT reflect my abilities, I am a very average player at best, but I read somewhere that your tools should always be better than you (that's my excuse anyway). I think the guitars I have will ALWAYS be better than me!

EDIT: Also my original plan to buy a cheap guitar and upgrade the pickups went out of the window when I saw the Verythin cheap on ebay (well, 50% off RRP anyway). Not sure if either guitar needs a pickup swap at the moment. I think baby needs clothes more!

What I got:
Guitars: Gibson LP Std (in the UK) and Charvel Charvette (in the US!).
Basses: Rickenbacker 4001
Amps: No real amp in the UK at present. I'm currently just using GarageBand Sims or my Sansamp GT-2. Got an old Marshall 8080 combo gathering dust in the US.

In a dream world:
Guitars: a sexy 24-fret PRS style with Abraxases (or maybe it should be HSS?), an SG-style with Warpigs, a Tele-style with Country Boys, and an Alembic (the Further, Tribute, and Skylark all look pretty :)).
Basses: an SG-style and a Rick 4004 :)
Amps: eh, some nice valve tone monsters for both the guitars and basses and a bunker in which to play them without being arrested :) Haven't thought too hard about this cause it seems even less likely to come to pass than the guitars!

Right....

I really like my PRS, it's an old one, one of the early Classic Electric mapletops with a 3 piece alder body. I had to swap the original Milcom or whatever trem for a modern PRS one as it wore out...but still sounds great and really nice to play. I've not played another that sounds or feels as good, you'd think it wouldn't be too good, three bits of wood for the body and a plain maple cap, but it just works.

I've just got a Ibanez RT240 body and neck and put sperzels and a wilkinson trem on them along with 6000 wire - it's a close second!!!

My Ibanez RG and Charvel 750XL are great for rock, and the strats great for being strats - but the PRS.....

Amps, my favorite I hope will be the one I'm building at the moment - 2203 dirt and a fender clean circuit in a twin channel with a power stage running 6550s, DC heaters, tube FX loop, mercury magnetics OT and Sozo caps.....I hope it sounds OK!! I want to build a plexi after this one.

At present my '83 JCM800 2204 is tha fav, close behind are the Super Reverb that I rewired and the late 70s JMP master vol 2204 with a thundertweak point to point circuit board installed. I've also got the prototype C7 from Matamp, and that's fun!

My Fav would be my fairly New USA Heritage Les Paul H140cm in Antique burst.
also have

* 80's Jap Gibson 335 copy with Filteron pups
*Danelectro U2
*2 Home Made Fender Strats
(one Sea green, one ash)
*USA Nashville Deluxe Telecaster
*Jap Fender Jaguar With Humbuckers
*1965 Vox Shadow (used for slide)

*Seagull & Takamine Acoustics,
plus a 70's Fender Redondo Acoustic (strat headstock) which is quite rare.

All going through:
1971 Carlsro 60w tube head & 4x12 matching cab +
5w Epiphone Valve Junior
1970's HH 2x12 Combo (Solid State) but loud as hell!

The Heritage is a more superior guitar by miles.

I Will soon load that bar-steward with Nailbombs.

The very same! Made in May I think.

My favourite guitar is my 1998 Gibson LP Standard. It hasn't got BKs in it yet, but it will have a set of Raw Nickel covered Mules when I can afford it :D

My most versatile guitar would be my 1993 Fender Standard Strat with a Crawler.Irish Tour/Irish Tour config with a coil tap on the bridge humbucker (very nice single coil tone) and auto shunt wiring in the bridge/middle position.

Of the 3 amps I use for gigging, my favourite would be my Orange AD30 single channel head. I set it crunchy, boost it with different OD pedals for various stages of gain. Works fine for me :D

Ibanez PGM through an ENGL Screamer Combo

Vintage 1959 strat through a ENGL Screamer combo on a slighty gritty clean sound.

Fender Telecaster through a Cornford Hurricane.

Any guitar through a Mesa Mark IV. I love that amp. The ENGL screamer is alot like it.
