'Patience' - Fender American Stratocaster HSS
(http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-10/1088851/Patience.jpg)
maple fretboard, seymour duncan pearly gates humbucker at the bridge. of all the electric guitars i've ever played i find the strat by far the most comfortable. i used to play a les paul custom, but fell in love with this beauty and sold the other off.
'Brooke' - Norman ST68 CW
(http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-10/1088851/Brooke.jpg)
rosewood fretboard, solid spruce top and indian rosewood back. has a fishman prefix pro blend mic/pickup which is perfect for gigs where i wanna move around and can't keep it positioned in front of an extrenal mic.
show me what you've got

Oddly enough, I prefer the look and feel of a Squier Strat because they're thinner and have a ganglier headstock.
But I'm a Tele man really:

This is my Electro acoustic, a Fender. I have a crappy old Encore acoustic with a sharp, cheap, obnoxious sound, and this was the only electro I could find that replicates it:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v77/DynamiteKid156/Sigs/Fendcoustic1.jpg)
Oddly enough I have much more love and attachment - and write better songs - to the Encore than I do to the Fender. Maybe I should just jam a pickup in it.
Here I am playing it with straightened hair (ergh, gay!):

And a BM Concert Grande called 'Violenta':
(http://www.bandm.co.uk/Guitars/Images/1951C.jpg)
They differ very little in reality from their interweb pictures. Apart from some vicious dents from the steel picks I love to use to play Violenta. Glamdring also has no whammy bar (well, he does, but there's something wrong with it. It's all floppy -_- )

I also have a Dan Electro something or other guitar that I originally had before this one. It's a good guitar, it's just not the kind of guitar I needed.

That's almost exactly the same as mine but I have 2 active emg's instead of HZ's.
I also have the same bass as the bassist from Duran Duran.

The reddish spots on my bed are picks. The gadget on the edge is my digital 4-track. Next to my bass is an open box of Honey Nut Cheerios. In front of my strat is a sock. The dark spot on the carpet is a dime. I like to keep things organized.

That guitar looks pretty sweet Kai, how much was it.
It was super cheap, really. $250, and it plays really well, especially considering the price.

Oh, and if I played I would probably want two different guitars: one for fat feedback and another for clear tones.

Question: has anybody actually tried that trick with a cello bow on their own guitar?
Yes, but with a violin bow, and Jimmy Page-style instead of Jonsi Birgisson-style. All you need to really do is set your action a bit higher. This is the guitar I did it on:
![]("http://myspace-357.vo.llnwd.net/00385/75/31/385911357_l.jpg")
Her name is Gertrude. She is an Arbor AP230. I painted the "Zoso" on the pickguard by hand.
My friend Wes, who is the bassist in the band I'm in, is getting a Hofner violin-style bass within the week. McCartneyXcore.

though i have to say i played some vintage fender p-basses that were owned by a studio and they played much better than i had ever imagined. though they were put through some pretty nice equipment so it may have jsut been their amps and gear.

1963 precision bass, tobacco sunburst. i was able to play for a few hours in between other bands' recording sessions.
That is possibly the sexiest bass I've seen in forever. Makes me think of John Paul Jones.

Disturbingly, most of the guitars I see like mine have bolt-on necks, which kind of defeats the purpose of a Les Paul.
For the hell of it, here's the rest of my gear.

My other is a 1973 Martin D-35. http://www.martinguitar.com/guitars/choosing/guitars.php?p=m&m=D-35
Picture a guitar looking like that one, only with a tortoise shell pick-guard and the maple looking like honey. That thing is my baby :)
Oh, and I also have a black and white Strat that's pretty standard except for that I got the pick-ups replaced with some better ones ( I think they're Kinmans. My folks did it while I was away at college one semester).

he presented me with a shitty old black electric guitar with a little amp
speaker built-in (but it's broken and dented in), and the busted off battery
case cover digs into my leg when I try to play it. It's always out of tune
because the strings are crappy and the strap-peg-things are all busted so you
have to tie the strap onto it.
I named her Gabrielle (pronounced "Gay-breel", don't you fuck her name up)
and I love her better than any other geetar.
My da has a lovely guitar, but I don't know what it is. I'll have pictures of
Gabrielle, da's geetar, our amps, 12-foot-pedals-built-into-one and our
Super-Vox-Voice-Box Machine (it has a billion and one voices, and I've
never heard all of them).
My bestfriend has a sweet acousitc geetar that makes a real pretty sound.

Jeeeesus, RonBergundy, how many pickups does that motherfucker need?!
as many as they can cram into it.
songlessbird: hmm... i would say that it sounds most similar to a Jaguar or Jazzmaster, with a slightly creamier, Les Paul-ish texture to it. you can get some amazing clean and surf rock tones out of it, and it don't sound too shabby when you bring the gain up, either.

Here's the guitars, the mic and the drumkit. Ma's bass is out on loan to our 7 year old friend. He's good at playing everything already. The kid's got music in his soul. (P.S. LOVE THE POSTERS, ESP. THE CHRONO TRIGGER ONE {even though they messed up and made Marle use fire instead of ice [but you can't see that so oh well]})

Squier Telecaster.
(http://img.epinions.com/images/opti/7b/71/instElectric_GuitarsTelecaster-resized200.jpg)
Pretty decent instrument. It like it to play something that is supposed to sound like something dirty and bluesy. Needs new and tighter strings tough.
Somthing that I consider is buying an extra electric guitar for my metal needs and some experimentation with different tunings (LTD, Epiphone, Stagg, something like that).
Yamaha semi acoustic.
(http://www.guitar.com.au/guitars/acoustic/yamaha/images/FGX720SC_Main.jpg)
Definitely my favourite guitar. Very warm.
Amps;
Still on my first amp which is a very small Vantage amp. It's enough for me for now.
If I can find the time, I'm going to build a 100W amplifier myself.
Effects.
Just one, A Dunlop Crybaby (wahwah) for bass. And it is fantastic.

It looks more or less like that except the floyd rose looks different and it has some scratches. Personally it plays like shit but that could've just been my old crappy amp.
