My 05 LP Standard. Scored this about 15 years ago for cheap. Has had 2 neck repairs, however, they did a great job and it's very hard to notice. Was so dirty and grimy it was considered a plain top when I bought it. After many hours of cleaning the diseases off it, it showed its true self. Finally a nice guitar I don't mind lugging around. Plays wonderfully.

My early 2000s SG standard is probably my number one. It’s been with me through thick and thin.

But the one I’m most proud of is this Billy Bo type parts guitar I put together

Gluff body, Warmoth neck, Rio Grande Filtertrons and a duesenburg trem. Really came together nicely. The knob on the lower horn is a master bass cut instead of a volume. A Well Hung python strap rounds it off
I really pushed myself to give the top a nice stain. I dig “relic” guitars but sometimes they come out so cheesy. I also dig burst finishes but they can also get pretty cheesy, so I stained the guitar with little “bursts” in the common wear areas to kind of give it a worn in look, and also the two tone feel of a burst.

Certainly subtle but I do think it was effective

It's one of these 2 depending on the day. I've played shredders most of my life but the first time I played this 6120 was a revelation, and now I have a Gretsch problem. I'm mostly into sludge and death/thrash and Virus, Gojira, Gorguts, Deathspell type stuff. These pull it off surprisingly well with a unique sound.

My 2019 Schecter E-1 SLS Elite. It's a factory second and minus it's single flaw that made it a 2nd, it is beyond sublime in all the ways I seek in a kickass guitar.
The only thing I've changed on it is adding a stainless steel toggle switch tip.

Locke body, MJT finish, Musikraft neck, SS frets, original Floyd, SH-5 from the ‘80s.

Was a semi-playable dog that I was ready to give up on and part out until Pete Skermetta got his hands on it a couple of years ago. Now it’s my best playing guitar and it sounds great.
 
I’d have to go with my PRS DGT, it just has a bit of everything, PRS nailed it with this one probably one of the most versatile guitars you can get.

How do you like that high voltage set? I tried the BK Riff Raffs and didn’t love them, but do absolutely love a David Allen Powerage set in my SG. Always curious about the HV set though

I love them. Started out with the CS Pearly Gates. The HV set is clearer but has about the same output. I had the Riff Raffs in a LP and liked them overall, but found them a little stiff/clean sounding in the end.
 
If I had to choose one, it would be my 1986 MIJ Fender strat. I’ve bought and sold many guitars but this has been my main stay for the past 10 years or so. Never disappoints.
