Honestly need to start downsizing 
We really didn't have much of a traditional Christmas and when we came home from vacation I had two Charvels I hadn't spent time with yet, two other guitars, one of which my husband surprised me with, and a bass NGD. Not sure if there is an GAS anonymous I can join 
. Also, a really awesome Sunn T preamp pedal from Wayne. Yeesh. I really need to step back for a moment. Worst case scenario is more giveaways to come, I guess...
Thank you!

Wow, that Drop top classic has the nicest top I think I have ever actually seen! You say its so good you almost feel guilty playing it, are they worth a lot of money by this builder or is it just where it is so nice you wouldn't want to risk damaging it?As of right now?
Electrics:
1. Tom Anderson Drop Top Classic 2023
This is the best guitar I own. Ironically it's not my main because it actually is "too good" and makes me feel a bit guilty to play at times.

2. Rangka Custom S 2023
Arguably my main. This is the last guitar I commissioned my friends at Rangka Guitars after a nearly decade-long relationship. I have no plans to make further orders right now because honestly this thing is so good I'm A) keeping it, B) trying out and selling other brands' offerings (ie. older Andersons, Suhrs) just to try out other flavors

3. (Modded) Navigator Superstrat from circa 1982
My beater guitar, essentially. Recently refinished in deep metallic blue like some Japanese supercars. Currently has a set of Duncan JBJ and 59J (not pictured)
It's modded to shit. I think only the tuners are original. The electronics are replaced because the old ones were scratchy, Schaller Floyd II changed to a 1984 OFR with a D-Tuna, the original frets were worn AND the fretboard uneven, etc. It's my heaviest superstrat, being that it's 2 or 3pc Mahogany with a solid big brass block (the Rangka and the TA are swamp ash)
But it has mojo. I remember @scottosan saying (not sure here, or on Facebook, or on another forum) that his old 70s Aria had mojo and resonated in a way some of his newer, "nicer" guitars didn't, and yeah this little strat... same deal. Tracking with this guitar is just right. No jumpy spikes, no uneven frequencies that need to be cut out, no lack in frequencies that I like to hear in a guitar track.
4. Navigator N-LP 480S CTM 2013
I like strats, superstrats and LPs. Among LPs, Goldtops are my favorite, followed by solid blacks, then tobacco burst, then clownbursts.
My main guitar for tracking rhythm and "sweet" sounding low-gain leads. This guitar is more or less stock

5. Edwards E-LPC92 2006
Truth be told, I only got this one because "hey, black LPC with an ebony board for under 1k that's actually well made" was a very good pitch.
Currently has custom humbuckers in it. (8.6k bridge, A4. 7.4k neck A2). I would say this is my best sounding guitar for cleans (that custom neck is magical by itself, and even more magical when in the middle position)
It's also fairly light. I've had a more expensive Edwards (the Jimmy Page tribute model thing) which was way too light and felt like a toy, and I had other MIJ singlecuts that were too heavy (mainly Tokais), but this one is just right. Heavier than my Navigator, but lighter than a non-swiss-cheese, non custom shop Gibby or Epiphone.
I have another guitar coming, but that's for an NGD post ETA next month.
Acoustics:
1. Sigma Acoustic.
Forgot the model and all, but I got this for fairly cheap just to record an acoustic part and honestly it's... pretty solid. Very nice guitar.

Out of those just from pictures my favourite is the blue on the left and the purple on the bottom right photo, they all look killer guitars though!
Lovely, plus liking the headstockless design! You mention no wood in sight, what are they made from? I definitely wouldn't feel bad about no wood if as you say it is the most resonant guitar you have ever owned, plus plugged in what it sounds like what matters most, wether it be a top quality tonewood or some other material that also gets the job done, possibly even better!
I love the Dean, also what is the furthest left guitar as I really like that one too, the black one?Too many to list and I returned home this past weekend to five NGDs

Loving that one, from the photo it looks like it goes from a lightish brown colour then into an almost cherry red at the edges where the burst darkens?
Wow, lucky dude! Looking at the photos, are the trems Kahler as it looks like it has the rollers for the strings vs a standard floyd?
Wow some amazing guitars, wait isn't the KH20 limited to just 41 guitars? If so how did you get one, and I would also love the iron cross as well. Do you have any photos?
I really like the colour, and for $199 I am hoping that fit and finish will be acceptable that after a setup you get a decent playing guitar. I've heard stories of people buying a cheaper guitar and actually ending up with a real gem that they love so hope this is the case.
Nice, do you know what models like MIM, american special etc, also the Jackson? Also do you have any pictures as I and am sure everybody else would love to see them
That one is a 2002 (pre FMIC) Fujigen built Jackson Soloist SLSMG (Super Light Soloist Metal Guitar, IIRC). They are 7/8 body, neckthrough, archtop, stringthrough. Believe the modern equivalent is called like a SLAT6 (Soloist Light Archtop) or something along those lines. Also have a SLAT8FF/X (pictured middle below) which is the 8 string multiscale variant that despite being made by Cort in Indonesia; I can attest is built within margin of error on par, imo. Have had them both since new, and not going anywhere.
The picture isn't 100% accurate, it's a bit more pink in the middle, but yep cherry red at the edges!
Yeah the kh-20 is limited of 41, really cool guitar, they sometimes popup on reverb.
Navigators do it for meAs of right now?

Man, would love to see a couple pics of the Gibsons?
Nice, I had a cheaper Dean LP copy and I must admit, I liked the scale length difference, things just felt a bit smoother to me if that makes sense? I've stuck with the ESP as that was my most expensive guitar, I gave the Dean and an amp to one of my ex's boys as he wanted to learn to play. Obviously when we split I took my stuff back but left the guitar and amp for him.
Wow, I love both of those guitars! I would be scared buying something so rare on reverb due to the fakes that pop up- I even checked my LTD MH1000 wasn't fake as I got it for under £450 including shipping from Canada to the UK brand new, when the price here was near £1000. I actually contacted ESP with photos of the guitar plus the serial number, and they confirmed it was genuine which was a huge relief.
Lovely guitars there! I notice the strat only has a volume pot, does this mean the tone is essentially always at 10, where most people leave it anyway?
Nice, it looks like a really nice burst finish!
