Very cool. I like the purple PRS hybrid.
My guitar tutor has a large collection too at www.lemon-grass.com
Most interesting is the Esquire that someone was trying to tell him was a step up from a squire. He paid about ten times less than it was worth in cash.

I could never just keep one!!!!  As to my favourite, they are all very different.  In the strats, I love the rosewood, but I have had it for over 20 years.  In the Les Pauls, I think the 53 just wins over the Tobacco Sunburst, and in the PRS's, the Red Standard does it.  In the others, the walnut is very special, and I have a 62 Tele, with original pickups, so that is my favourite there.  Mind you, I am just waiting for Jonathan from Feline to fix up one of my necks.  He is scalloping the fingerboard after the 12th fret, and putting 6000 frets in it, that will go on the flamed redwood, and I am changing the Nailbomb to a different BK humbucker, so that might become my favourite.

In the basses, I have an old Thunderbird IV that sounds great, but a friend (Will Scott), is building me a new semi accoustic 5 string to my design specs and his body shape.  It is semi neck through (it ends at the bridge - not the end of the body) - the pictures here don't really show it too well, and it is still in the rough carving stage.  The back and neck stripes are Purpleheart.  It might well become my favourite!


I guess I am fickle - this is why I am on my way to a second divorce and have a string of failed relationships behind me  - I always like to try new ones  :roll:  :wink:  :P
So many pickups, so little time
