Favorite type of guitar(s)

I have 4 electric guitars and 2 acoustic. I don't have a fav really. I love my SG, my strats, my custom equally. As far as acoustic I need to buy a new one. I still haven't decided what to go with. all I know is that I want an electric acoustic cutaway. I want to spend around $350-$500. I want to get the most for my $ though so I might buy used or a "blem" from Musicians Friend (or are they? hehe) Any suggestions are welcome.

Anyway, back on subject... do you have a favorite guitar that you own or want to own? I would like to add a Flying V to my collection and a Gibson ES335. I also have always wanted a Tele and a Gretsch. I am not too fond of the headstocks on Jackson guitars. Not a huge fan of Ibanez either except for maybe their George Benson model. :+) Take care everybody!
SAPERE AUDE!

As far as the acoustics go, check out Samick Guitars. They have a new line of instruments that are really great and won't kill your wallet. Electrics too!

I love the Fender telecaster so much that I own two (Sunburst and blue flower) and STILL I can't walk past a store where they sell them.I'll happily watch the wordt music videos imaginable as long as there's a tele in them!

I agree H. I used to be all over the Strat for the Hendrix and SRV tones, and would play the tele occasionally (over the years, I've had a Tokai, Squire and Mexi-Tele) and then earlier this year I bought a real Telecaster and it's my main guitar now.

I'm also a Tele guy. All my favorite guitarists/artists played/play one. Muddy Waters, Lou Reed, Keith Richards, & Prince.

I have a American one, and 2 mexican ones. One of the mex ones is tricked out. I love that twang, man.

I love almost all guitars. Especially ibanez, telecaster and les pauls.

I've got to get a Tele with a maple fret board.

I've never even played one but I know from the Org.

My american one has a rosewood neck, and I got 2 mex's with maple. I prefer rosewood, dark tone.

Anybody here design their own guitar or think about designing one? I have a custom but the body style isn't original. Just the knobs, pick ups and a few other things. Some day I would like to have my own 100% custom guitar! :+) Too bad I have to buy all my own equipment! :+P hehe Oh, any cool guitar colors? I like my SG, it's some type of crazy green color. Even though green isn't one of my favorite colors. See ya around

I have an Amstd Strat, a mex strat, a L.P. classic 1960 reissue, a L.P. artist, and an ibanez artstar full. I am dying to own a tele. Maybe after I get my new car I'll start buying axes again. But then i'm trying to finish my studio. So little money, so much gear.

I've got both. The rosewood sounds dark and bluesy and pretty strat-like on the neck pick-up. The maple one is bright and percussive and has lots of funky 'quack' in the middle position and a nice 'hollow'tone w/ distortion...
